Short-budgeted and weird movie with an unknown cast in which exorcists embarking on a frightening and frenzied exorcism spree

Horror picture shot in fits and starts with incoherent plot, dealing with ghastly possession , as people are possessed by malevolent and heinous spirits causing creepy , scary and terrible moments. The film mixes badly terror , possessions , desperate exorcisms and road movie. The synopsis follows the footsteps of the pastor Eloy de Palma and his granddaughter Alba for four days , in a Barcelona besieged by diabolical appearances and various demonic possessions . His mission is to help those possessed by evil , whose souls have been infected . In each new confrontation with the evil one , clues about the mysterious past of the protagonists are discovered , resulting in an enigma that can change the world.

It is a weak , uneven and disjointed film and it really falls short , in which an exorcist and his granddaughter , working in the Barcelona area where some strange forces seem to be infecting the purest souls cases . Routine , typical horror movie about possession and haunting events with chills , thrills , plot twists and creepy happenings . Ordinary Exorcist movie style with usual ingredients as possession , violent events , disgusting faces from the possessed people , grisly crimes and poltergeister phenomena . Asmodexia is mediocre , but not in a global sense , hence the script doesn't deliver the necessary elements , turning out to be extremely confusing , twisted and incomprehensible . The only really clear thing is that two exorcists attempting to free the immortal souls of the unfortunate ones who are grievously afflicted by the mark of the demonic Evil One , while only a few days away , an earlier cryptic "Resurrection" to take place. The basis on which the plot is based have the ordinary exorcist ingredients, in which roaming Spain's rugged countryside , a pair of travelling exorcists , a grizzled preacher, and his gifted young granddaughter undertaking their eerie activities. Let's say that the general idea is good , or at least acceptable , it is the development of this main idea what ruins the film . From my point of view, and only as a spectator, I come across the actors are not credible -although perhaps this is due to the fact that most of the dialogues seem to be set with the sole purpose of filling- , the edition is confused and the rhythm results to be irregular . A clue that the story is not well told can be found in the ending : the director should not have needed to use flashbacks to resolve loose ends and make understandable a story that otherwise does not have much to understand . Giving so many explanations to make sure no one has missed anything ruins the final climax . Although this is just one of the many details that reveal a possible bad planning in the making of the script , since there are plenty of holes , inconsistencies , forced twists and flaws .

Asmodexia (2014) follows in the wake of modern Exorcist movies , such as :¨The Exorcism of Emily Rose¨, ¨The Haunting in Connecticut¨ , ¨The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia¨, ¨The Vatican Tapes¨, among others. The motion picture was regularly directed by Marc Carreté. He studied Audiovisuals and MBA, and worked for years with some of the leading advertising agencies in Spain. In 2015, founded "Creatures of the Dark", and presently is developing and producing indie horror films such as : ¨Lagunas¨ , ¨la guarida del diablo¨, ¨Asmodexia¨ , ¨After the Lethargy¨ and Shorts : ¨El Espiritista¨ , ¨Castidermia¨ and ¨Mal cuerpo¨ . Rating : 4.5/10, so-so and average terror movie.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.
