With THE RITE exorcising box-office demons this past weekend, Filmax has wisely chosen to print a handful of new stills from Manuel Carballo’s EXORCISMUS (THE POSSESSION OF EMMA EVANS) online. And you know what? They’re actually pretty f*ckin gnarly!
Lastly touring Singapore and the Philippines, Spain before that, EXORCISMUS has yet to unveil a North American release date. We have seen a VOD trailer for the flick, as well as had the knowledge that IFC scored U.S. rights to the film last November. Also, it’s been known that the flick will hit DVD on the U.K. on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14th). It seems the only left to discover is…a goddamn stateside release!
EXORCISMUS (THE POSSESSION OF EMMA EVANS) follows Fifteen-year-old Emma Hawkins, who, like any other teenage girl, thinks that her parents don’t understand her. She longs for independence and a life free of family ties and responsibilities and she is prepared to do anything to achieve it. But one day she will be forced to face up to the consequences of her actions.
Life seems to be carrying on as normal, until one day Emma starts experiencing frightening fits. Her parents are convinced that her problems are either medical or psychological, but when doctors´ tests are unable to draw any conclusions, the family is forced to look elsewhere for answers.
It all started off as a bit of fun, Emma never really believed it, but the truth is there is something dark and sinister within her, and it won’t take long to surface. Be careful what you wish for.
Keep it here for that ever-elusive release date. Or, if you have a Region 2 DVD player, pre-order EXORCISMUS on U.K. DVD HERE.
