The Exorcism of Molly Hartley




I remember when the Haunting of Molly Hartley came out in 2008, and remembering it was like a marriage between girly heart-throb shows like The O.C. or 90210 with cheap PG-13 horror films meant for the teenager demographic.  Even though Haunting was kinda crappy, I’ll be honest, I’m entertained by even the crappiest horror film.  When I heard there was going to be a sequel I was confused for a couple reasons.

REASON #1= The end of Haunting was supposed to be one of those dead-end endings= I say this  because when Molly turned 18 she was supposed to have given her whole-self over to the Devil, so he can begin taking over the world.  This made the idea of a sequel seem weird, because in the Exorcism of Molly Hartley the main character is now 24 years old, and the transition into being the Devil’s puppet is still not complete?  I always knew the Devil was a bad dude, but as it turns out he is slow as well.

REASON #2= The Exorcism of Molly Hartley was straight to DVD= this isn’t always a bad thing since many of the great horror films never made it to the theaters.  But since the first movie was a PG-13 teenage-horror-hit, it made this film seem like the filmmakers did something wrong. 


This isn’t to say The Exorcism of Molly Hartley is complete crap, because some of the exorcism scenes were heavy, brutal, and reminded me of the practical effects in William Friedkin’s original Exorcist.  I find that I enjoy this movie more when I don’t think of it as a sequel to teenage-angst-driven Haunting of Molly Hartley, and instead see it as a standalone exorcism horror film with an “OK” story and awesome practical effects.

  1. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,Get Your Ex Back, You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
