Father's exorcism

We have one Father - a Priest and we have another father - a doctor who's daughter is possessed. Both fathers are ready to do all it takes to save the girl in danger. Even though the priest is more educated and knows what he is doing, the father who doesn't know anything is still trying. But how to save a girl that has already died? This is a minor spoiler but is already in the synopsis of the movie so I don't need to hide it here. I liked the new approach to the exorcism theme and the invention of a new theological myth about demons.

There are some scary moments and some cheap jump scares. I would say that the movie does scene cuts pretty well and helps us understand the situations through flashbacks. The actors were good but the characters they play didn't really behave consistently. There are a few side characters that just appear and experience something big but the movie forgets them instantly. What I liked the most is the atmosphere and the Latin prayers. (Vade retro satana!)

PS. This is actually the fourth Korean movie in a row about Demons and exorcism that I saw and i didn't even plan that. The good thing is that each movie is unique and doesn't hurt the enjoyment of others and I would recommend them all.
Dark Nuns - a mystical fantasy with Nuns taking the role of Priest.
Revelations - psychological thriller about personal demons .
Handsome Guys - dark comedy with shocking moments and some gore.
Devils Stay - standard horror with many supernatural elements but still grounded and most realistic among these four.
