The Exorcism of Molly Hartley

About This Movie

The Exorcism of Molly Hartley has this gritty, unsettling vibe that’s hard to shake off. It dives into the darkness of possession but leans heavily into the psychological aspects, which is interesting. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, especially in the buildup before the climax, but it adds to that tense atmosphere. One standout is the practical effects used during Molly's transformation; they’re raw and truly capture the horror of her possession. The performances are solid, particularly from the defrocked priest, who adds a layer of complexity to the usual exorcism narrative. It’s got this mix of traditional horror elements and a touch of contemporary themes that makes it distinctive, especially in the mental health context.
