‘Shadow of God’ is a bit too ambitious for its own good. However, this fresh take on religious horror still warrants a watch.

Rated: 3/5

Daily Record (UK)

Bungling an intriguing main central premise and wasting several actors we’ve seen do much better work, Shadow of God should’ve been doused in holy water before its creative team felt compelled to get their hands on it.

Exclaim!

Peterson nudges at some heavy concepts — religion, trauma, abuse, humanity — never quite delivering a full punch, but consistently finding interesting threads to pull within those conversations, benefitting greatly from compelling performances.

Rated: 6/10

sign of a good movie: if it had more money, it would be better. “Shadow of God” has a solid, well thought out story that could have benefitted from having a bigger budget. It was a brilliant move to mix the quotidian nightmare of Waco with cosmic horror.

Shadow of God is, frankly, an unfortunate blunder that will be forgotten in the blink of an eye

Shadow of God should be far more entertaining than it is, which is a slightly nicer way of saying that the movie is a complete dud.

I turned this off half way through. It just got worse each scene. The actor that plays Angus was unbearable to watch. I might have sat through it otherwise. Terrible dialogue. Bad CGI.

Generic possession movie that squanders a really interesting premise.

Thankfully doesn’t back out of its promise. “omg hOW sTuPIT gOD iS aLL pOwERFuL wORsT mOVEE eVERrrr!” Lmfao, oh, stfu… It’s fiction. Just like scripture. Get over it. These clowns *love* the corniest and worst “exorcism” scripts (of which, Hollywood cannot stop cranking out every month) and the moment one with a good premise is released, they start crying and whining about how, in THEIR story, a character is “much more powerful” than in the movie… They’re Superman fans. Whining about comic book hero.

Easily the single worst exorcism movie I've seen all year - and I've seen most of them. I literally shut it off half way through. The script is complete nonsense. The main character would never have even been allowed to become a Catholic priest, let alone an exorcist. Seriously who thought this made any sense? Cornball dialogue, terrible CGI, ridiculous plot...I don't think it can get any worse than this.
