The Exorcism of Karen Walker [DVD]

Product Information

Mercifully short, but still felt like a huge waste of time. I watched this new addition to UK Netflix recently and could not recommend it less. The first 70 minutes of the film consists of nothing but dialogue. Every scene is people talking, no exceptions. What few horror elements there are only show up after the 60 minute mark. I don’t believe there has ever been a horror story brought to the screen that revolves around Kirlian photography, so what we have is a truly unique concept, and one that I’ve wanted to turn into a movie for years. Amidst such heavy hitting thesping the stand out, however, is Janine Nerissa Sothcott, briefly seen in last year’s The Krays – Dead Man Walking and here playing her first lead. An incredibly naturalistic performer with real star quality she more than holds her own with veterans Taylor and Lenska and gives the only warm performance in a very cold film. Definitely an actress to watch. The film takes place in a world of few people, features barely any establishing shots, and could easily be adapted for a stage play. It’s well lit, the score is great, but punters wanting plenty of scares could be disappointed.

In a bid to heal the wounds of the past, Mitch brings Karen home but soon discovers that her condition is the result of an evil force that has possessed her for most of her life.

The movie follows a man called Mitch and as he moves into the home of his deceased spiritualist uncle and starts looking into a possible supernatural explanation for his sister Karen's long term mental illness. There's an old spirit medium whose performance practically screams 'we couldn’t afford Lin Shaye', and Mitch's pregnant wife Diane, who appears appears have undergone multiple botched plastic surgeries. The audience is bombarded with exposition with all the grace of a lumbering cow. The acting is weak across the board, with Mitch's mother being particularly terrible and Karen really hamming it up towards the end. The rest did what they could with a bad script.

The Exorcism of Karen Walker is a 2018 British supernatural horror film written and directed by Steve Lawson ( Hellriser; KillerSaurus; Nocturnal Activity), based on a storyline by co-producer Jonathan Sothcott ( Eat Locals; Fanged Up; Strippers vs. Werewolves; et al). One of the strengths of the movie is that it doesn't rely on cheap jump scares or gore to create scares. Instead, it focuses on building tension and creating an unsettling atmosphere, which makes the horror all the more effective. The exorcism scene is particularly well-done, and it is sure to give viewers goosebumps. Mitch Walker and his pregnant wife Denise look to start a new life in the home he has inherited from his late uncle; a decision resented by his mother, who is convinced that no good can come from a house that harbours such a dark history.Hereford Horror, the genre wing of UK home entertainment studio Hereford Films, presents the first look at the British key art for its first production, The Exorcism Of Karen Walker, which arrives on DVD and digital on February 18th courtesy of 4Digital Media. A delightfully old school horror movie in the tradition of the Hammer and Amicus films … The exorcism is a terrifying ordeal, and it becomes clear that the demon possessing Karen is incredibly powerful. As the exorcism progresses, the demon becomes more and more violent, and it becomes uncertain whether Karen will survive. Anyway, Karen (Denise Moreno) is obviously possessed (thanks to the giveaway title), and with the aid of a special camera (which is like an Instax or Polaroid for Ghostbusters), we can see how freaky her aura is. V domě, který zdědil, objeví vybavení na takzvané kirliánské focení a všechno začne nasvědčovat tomu, že jeho sestru posedl ďábel.

Its clearly made on a shoestring but its well directed and the special effects are impressive. The jump scares we have come to expect from this genre are few and far between but when they come they are definitely effective.

After these 70 minutes of dialogue (60 of which completely devoid of horror) the film finally gets to the big showdown exorcism scene. The climax, as it were. And even this 10 minute sequence is broken up by not one, but two lengthy dialogue sequences! According to my calculations,…
