The Appearing (2014)
9/10
Fresh take on the exorcism genre
9 June 2014
In "The Appearing", Michael (Will Wallace) and his wife Rachel (Emily Brooks) relocate to a small town in northern California after the death of their daughter. Shortly after they arrive Rachel starts having disturbing hallucinations that all seem to be linked to this abandoned house (pretty sure it's the old house from "Psycho" which adds another element of cool). The house is also the location of several disappearances over the past several years and as Michael searches to uncover the truth he discovers a more demonic force may be at work.

I really enjoyed this movie! I thought it was a well-done exorcism film with nice plot development. I think some people going to horror films nowadays expect the cheesy clichés and over-the-top special effects in order for a film to be "watchable." This story focuses more on its characters and not just the possession.

Honestly, I grow tired of horror movies that are constantly bombarding the audience with over the top special effects. This film offers a fresh story line about religious warfare with an added emphasis of faith and spirituality that I really appreciated.
