Tv Series Review: The Exorcist

Story-line: Angela, is plagued by increasingly frightening nightmares, her husband is slowly losing his mind, her older daughter spends her time locked in her room and her younger daughter hears strange noises from inside the walls. Two priests are brought together, as all their fates become entangled in a battle against an ancient force of evil

Season 1 episode 1- 6 so far.

When it comes to horror film's being made into full length tv series your thinking OK well how can this be done when a horror film burns fast in the story & it all over before it begun?  , well with the right direction giving the story a bit of a slow creepy , dark & intriguing concept it can be done.

New to Fox based on the popular horror film the exorcist where a priest battles to save a young girls life from the dark force of hell , come a story of a happy city family living a happy life until their young daughter came home from collage after a car crash that killed her friend. 

As we see the series process from episode to episode we start noticing the odd thing start to happen around the youngest daughter , this is where this series goes from an ordinary drama type series to a very dark & twisted one.

Hannah Kasulka who play the youngest daughter Casey Rance is absolutely perfect casting for this role playing the loving daughter of  Angela Rance (Geena Davis) who noticed the change in her as well as strange things around the house. 

There is something about her eye the way she give that evil stares when something is controlling her she 100% come off on screen extremely creepy & thought provoking , it really give you the chill's. 

This is where we see the new priest Father Tomas Ortega played brilliantly by Alfonso Herrera who doesn't seem to believe in his own faith until he is confronted by evil , Its at this point Tomas is force with a dilemma to track down an former priest Father Marcus Keane played by Ben Daniels  who lost a child during a exorcism.

What seem like a normal exorcism to get a demon out of Casey Rance become a much more bigger problem when other demons seem to be in play as well , so far from what ive watched this series is actually turning out to be a very intriguing twisted series that horror fan should like.

If you haven't already started watching this series i highly recommend watching it very creep, dark & twisted horror series that im surprised works as a series.

Overall : Dark , twisted , brilliant casting & perfect performances to make a brilliant start to a season.


Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.3 out of 10 for concept
