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. The Exorcism Of Karen Walker is a tense and intense horror movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The performances by the cast are excellent, particularly Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott, who delivers a powerful and convincing performance as Karen. The film's direction and cinematography are also impressive, creating a dark and eerie atmosphere that perfectly suits the story. Neuvěřitelná kravina, amatérské panoptikum! Z těch postav se mi chtělo zvracet! Ta cigana v hlavní roli! Co to mělo znamenat??? Kurva! To už se neumí natočit něco pořádného! Kdybych čučel hodinu a půl na můj fíkus, tak by to byl tisíc krát lépe strávený čas!!! Než to to!!! 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. 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).

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. Before making his name in feature films, Sothcott produced documentaries and moderated DVD commentaries for numerous cult films, including The Wild Geese, Dr. Who and the Daleks, Summer Holiday, and many horror films. So yeah, this is an entertaining version of the standard exorcism movie - detecting demonic possession via aura photography. Cool idea! The film… I have (somewhere) a photo of my mom from the 80s that was taken with an aura-reading camera. I think she got it at a booth in the mall - going to the mall in the 80s was awesome. Provenance aside, though, it's the most beautiful photo - she's surrounded by a dazzling aura of gold and white and looks like an angel. The aura photos in this movie are kind of crappy looking, especially compared to the mall one that my mom got. But mitch was probably using the dang camera wrong anyway. I hate mitch! Working with local clairvoyant Ada (Rula Lenska), Mitch is thrust into battle with a terrifying demonic presence. Facing insurmountable odds, he must uncover the truth buried within the house and find the key – an old camera designed for Kirlian photography (the practice of capturing a subject’s ‘aura’) – that may save his sister’s life…

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.

What sets the film apart from the usual horror fodder though is the performances. Shane Taylor is utterly convincing as Mitch and holds the whole thing together with his conviction and subtle underplaying. Denise Moreno as the titular Karen is unsettling in the extreme and its great to see Rula Lenska pulling out all the stops in a career-best performance. I got an error when visiting veziseriale.org/filme/the-exorcism-of-karen-walker-aura-exorcizarea-lui-karen-walker-2018/. 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. 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. Ahead of its DVD release next month, a trailer has arrived online for the upcoming horror The Exorcism of Karen Walker. Written and directed by Steve Lawson, the film stars Shane Taylor, Janine Nerissa, Denise Moreno, and Rula Lenska; watch it here…

Sothcott is the CEO of Shogun Films, a prolific production company focusing on crime and thriller movies. However, full marks to Hereford Films for taking the Blumhouse approach to horror. Tight, low budget chillers that put bums on seats and should hopefully make enough cash to generate sequels. Anything that pumps new blood into the British horror film industry is all right by me. Hopefully their next offering will be more stalk less talk.

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,…
