Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

TheLittleSongbird What an awful movie. While it is not completely irredeemable, Nicki Muller tries her best and is decent, on every other level it doesn't work at all. It looks very cheap visually, with very substandard at best effects, annoying camera work, clumsily incorporated footage(which is what a vast majority of the movie felt like, and a colour scheme in the lighting that makes the movie feel drab and atmosphere-less. The characters are stock, you learn nothing about them and you don't care at all for them as a result, while the writing is embarrassingly trite and you have to look very closely to notice if there is a story at all, there probably was one but was so thin and dull that it is not worth your time. The acting apart from Muller, who deserved so much better, is next to non-existent. On the whole, I shudder even thinking of the badness of Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes. Perhaps not among The Asylum's worst like Alien Origin, Titanic II, 2010: Moby Dick, Transmorphers and AVH: Alien Hunter, but down there as one of their numerous awful movies. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Michael_Elliott Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes (2011) 1/2 (out of 4) The Asylum's attempt to cash in on countless "exorcism" films including THE LAST EXORCISM, which this is a mockbuster of. Not only that but the studio tries to claim that the true case of Anneliese Michel, a German girl who was believed to have been possessed by the devil, is featured in this "found footage" horror movie. In the film we see Anneliese (Nikki Muller) as she goes through various physical and psychological situations and the locals priests feels she's possessed while the doctors from the hospital thinks she's just mentally troubled. The footage will let the truth be known. ANNELIESE: THE EXORCIST TAPES is an extremely bad movie that lacks any real imagination and in the end its 90-minutes just go by so slowly that you'll wish you were the one possessed by the devil. I think a lot of the blame has to go towards the actual story, which simply gives us nothing new or interesting. We never really get to know any of the characters. We never care about any of the characters and there's not a single second where any of them don't come off more annoying than anything else. It also doesn't help that the director filmed everything so bland that there's just never anything that pulls you into the film. The lack of any real suspense or drama is just the death nail. Even worse is that there's not a single frame where you feel as if you're watching some sort of found footage as it's clear what we're seeing isn't real for one but it's clearly also not shot in 1976, which is the date it takes place. There are two things that kept me from giving this a BOMB rating and one is the performance as Muller. I thought she actually did a pretty good job in the part but it's just a shame her talents were in such a worthless movie. The second thing that "worked" is that the film thankfully got so bad to where I got a couple big laughs. One came from the horrendous German accents and the other came from a scene where the possessed girl tries to sexually assault one of the priests.

byroti Another bad choice by me! I chose this one from the video store and hoped to see a good "exorcism" movie.The blurb said it has real footage and that it wasn't doctored. Well within 3 milliseconds anyone could tell this was scripted and acted. And badly! I turned this off after 20 minutes and I so very rarely do that. Enough said.Seems that after all of the recent exorcism movies that someone thought it'd be a good idea to put out another. They were wrong.So, anyone who is thinking of hiring this stinker I can save them the time and let them know ....don't!

chasingfate24 Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes is another one of these claim to be true footage accounts of the now famous Anneliese Michel exorcism that was also portrayed in The Exorcism of Emily Rose. The movies shows this from three points of view. A black and white security cam, a regular cam that was standard color and finally a crappy camera with a sepia colored tone that they used the majority of the movie, which annoyed the hell out of me. they have shots where they took the real audio from the actual Annaliese and play the audio tapes with just a static background. The opening scene where Anneliese pisses on the floor and licks it up was pretty shocking and probably the highlight of the movie.
