Requiem
In a small town in 1970's southern Germany, Michaela, 21, has grown up in a deeply religious family. Despite her long battle with epilepsy, Michaela burns to leave home and study at the university. There, she experiences her first taste of freedom, her budding love for Stefan and her friendship with Hanna. Slowly, her protective shell of faith and family starts to crack open, but it results in her having a breakdown. Not a normal epileptic attack, but a frightening onrush of grotesque faces and voices. Afraid of being sent back home to her family, Michaela seeks help from a priest who reinforces her conviction that she is possessed. Although Stefan and Hanna encourage her to seek psychiatric help, they are unable to break through the dense religious and moral ties binding Michaela to her family.

Engaging - but not horror
Those people expecting to see an Exorcist remake will be very disappointed in this sensitive and engaging film about mental disturbance. Once the lack of any ... read more »

maybe a thinking persons horror movie?
Lovely film, less about what she does and acts out than how she feels and is made to feel, claustrophobic rather than horrific and twice the film for that

Understated Gem
I was quite a big fan of The Excorcism of Emily Rose so after a little research I found this, and it did not disappoint.
First of all the atmosphere ... read more » - 927185

Subtle take on Kraft durch Freude
Hardly a celebration, the best thing about this effort is the 1970s atmosphere that it neatly creates for a 2006 movie. So what is there to like about small ... read more »

Samberg funded films with misplaced money
- 02 May 2009
Funnyman Andy Samberg credits a costly blunder for his acting career - he funded films with thousands of dollars a bank mistakenly placed in his account. The Saturday Night Live star was a struggling college student at New York University scraping together cash to fund low-budget movies. But his money woes were briefly laid to rest when he found an extra £3,380 in his account, Samberg recalls in new book Requiem for a Paper Bag. He writes, I went to the ATM and saw that I had 5,000 extra... Read more
