Movie Info

Synopsis: ASMODEXIA concerns Eloy de Palma, an exorcist pastor roaming the darkest corners of the country with his granddaughter Alba. Their mission is to help those possessed by The Evil One, an infection of the soul that is spreading fast, especially among the most vulnerable members of society: children, mental patients, and drug addicts. There is also a mysterious cult following them, making it more difficult to help those in need. Each exorcism is tougher than the one before, and every battle with Evil reveals a piece of young Alba's forgotten past - an enigma that if unconcealed could change the world as we know it.

Critic Reviews for Asmodexia

All Critics (4) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (1)

If the twisty finale underwhelms, Mr. Carreté's enigmatic style and textured images offer their own doomy rewards.

Top Critic

Is it possible to be decidedly unsubtle and also maddeningly opaque? Marc Carreté's exorcism film Asmodexia threads that infuriating needle.

Village Voice

Top Critic

The devil is in the details of a deftly ambiguous screenplay (by Carreté and Mike Hostench) that carefully withholds as much as it reveals.

Asmodexia isn't exactly a biblical epic, but a rejuvenating finish brings meaning to a movie that otherwise would seem minimalistic and generic - finding a savior in the nick of time.
