Critics Consensus

The power of Crowe compels up to a point in this metatextual riff on the possession genre, but The Exorcism's greatest sin is ultimately falling back on clichés.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

Like Godard’s Tout Va Bien, the (figuratively and literally) storied set can make the viewer feel like a voyeur. The pacing can be too stately, but an impressive ensemble working through a surfeit of good ideas compensates for the lack of jump scares.

Rated: 4/5

What's frustrating about this is that it had potential.

Time Out

No self-respecting demon would want their IMDb page stunk up with what follows: a half-lit, unholy mess in which nothing is explained and nothing makes much sense.

It turns into just another dispiriting pastiche of the original Exorcist – but sadly without its intelligence or its malevolent sense of dread.

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

The Exorcism’s exorcism is stunningly mediocre, and the glimpses of genuine potential it fails to grab makes it all the more blasphemous.

Reel Film Reviews

The Exorcism segues into an egregiously deliberate (and fairly dull) midsection and second half suffused with questionable attributes...

Rated: 1.5/4

We Are Babymetal 🤘🙂‍↕️ I just started listening 🎶 to Babymetal over a year ago, and ever since I've been playing catch up with their music, which I've grown to love very much. Still can't believe they have been around so long, and i haven't heard of them til recently is crazy.... So for me, seeing one of their concerts on the big screen with their music blasting was pretty f...in amazing! ❤️👏😭 I must say whoever did the editing for this did a great job. It was so intense, and I felt like i was on a roller-coaster watching this. Babymetal killed it. Lastly, MomoMetal has the most infectious smile I've ever seen on the big screen.. 🤘🦊 To The Fox God

Everything you can ask for in a possession horror film. It was almost as good as The Pope's Exorcist. And that's saying a lot.

At least was a different story, but dislike the sloppy work that they didn’t really study the theology of the church that a man, specially fallen man would be able to perform an an exorcism and of course he failed at it, but he stuck a crucifix fixing the said and stomach I thought that was pretty shitty

Pretty good flick. Looking forward to the director’s cut that will add about 30 minutes back in.
