Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Nigel P This very interesting Spanish exorcism story concerns Eloy de Palma (Lluís Marco) and his fifteen year-old grand-daughter Alba (Clàudia Pons), as they travel Barcelona where demonic possession is slowly spreading like a disease. Of course, we get our fair share of gut-wrenching screams and blank-eyed wailing - I'd be disappointed if we didn't, to be honest - but the story is a lot less predictable than many of the other 'Exorcist' variants that have done the rounds over the past few years. The possession seems to be attracted by the more vulnerable members of society - mental patients, drug addicts, the hospitalised etc.The thread that links the various exorcisms is the enigma of Alba herself. From the sweaty opening scenes, it is apparent there may well be something unusual about her, but this possibility is put to one side for much of the running time, although there are further hints to this effect.The very satisfying end which both solves that particular riddle, as well as the truth about her grandfather, is powerfully conveyed. This is Marc Carreté's debut as director (and co-writer), and hopefully his is a name we shall more from in the future. For the most part, he goes against the scare tactics, gore, sex and jump-scares of his associates in the field and the results are very refreshing, as well as dark and brooding. Producer and art designer Llorenç Mas must also get a mention, as must Jordi Dalmau who provides an excellent, sinister score.

Tom Dooley The synopsis is actually very scant in that it basically said this was four days in the lives of two exorcists working in the Barcelona area; so a bit of Gaudi, God and Satan sort of thing - but no. It follows the story of Eloy and his granddaughter, Alba, and they at first appear impoverished but are on a foretold mission to save 'souls'. Now to say any more could reveal too much so that the slow feed of twists and revelations (no pun intended) are spoiled. I kept thinking I had it all worked out and each time I was left surprised.It is all acted exceptionally well and is obviously an indie effort but it does not really show. The locations are great too adding to the atmosphere of the piece. This is not a slasher though so please avoid if that is your thing. It also covers areas you would not have expected. I have to say I was really impressed with this – mostly in Spanish with good to OK sub titles this is one for folk who like things to be a bit different.

gavin6942 Five days in the lives of exorcist Eloy de Palma (Lluis Marco) and his granddaughter Alba (Claudia Pons), working in the Barcelona area.We get a strong opening, with great use of camera technique and color, along with a gripping score from Jordi Dalmau. The New York Times refers to Dalmau's work as "an eerie, echoing sound design of plinking pianos and ghostly choirs." It is that and much more. Of course, this level of greatness is not maintained for the full duration, but it really showcases the potential of those involved.Adam Clarke has reviewed the film mostly positively, saying it is "full of interesting ideas" and singling out the cinematography of Xavi Garriga (in his feature film debut). What Clarke appreciates most is the "switching genres" between "exorcism, police procedural and apocalypse drama." He is absolutely right for singling out Garriga, who hopefully continues to make more films. If nothing else comes of this, Garriga should have a bright career.Some people may be turned off my the subtitles, but that is their loss. While this may not be the greatest film in the exorcism category of horror films, it is different enough that it should be praised for its originality. A new twist on an old theme, with some imagery that evokes comparisons to David Cronenberg's early work? Keep your eyes on this one.

HumanoidOfFlesh Eloy and Alba are a grandfather/granddaughter team of exorcists who are performing exorcisms on people possessed by enigmatic The Evil One.The Resurrection of The Evil One will happen very soon so they must hurry.A mysterious hooded figure is following them.Eloy used to be a member of a religious hippie cult and now he tries to stop Evil Demon from rising.Or is he really?I must say that I kind of enjoyed "Asmodexia".The film is visually appealing and there are several spooky and abandoned location sets in which action takes place.I liked also post-apocalyptic finale which resembled me a little bit last sequence of Fulci's "The Beyond".Still the plot of "Asmodexia" is quite confusing and complex,so be prepared.There is very little gore and absolutely no nudity.6 apostles of Hell out of 10.
