Recreating the lamplight poster shot from The Exorcist, Hildalgo doesn’t exactly disguise who he is in thrall to – though his film is to William Friedkin’s classic what hair metal was to Led Zeppelin.

Rated: 3/5

Even when it missteps on occasion, The Exorcism of God is always committed, and often surprising.

Rated: 2.5/4

Hidalgo... must think quite highly of his own directorial chops to create such misogynistic nonsense in the first place.

I will watch almost any film about exorcism, but I normally find myself let down most of those films. THE EXORCISM OF GOD did not let me down.

La Nación (Argentina)

Middle-of-the road exorcism with abundant special effects, utilizing sound to cover up the lack of ideas to generate dread, and a frantic chase that belongs more to zombie cinema.

Does The Exorcism of God work? Thats between the viewer and his Lord, but its definitely, well, something.

The opener was like soft porn, and it wasn't scary a bit. I has to hold in laughter the whole time. Cheesy B rate film, not even worth renting once it's available on streaming platforms 👎👎

As far as exorcism movies go, this was one of the better one's! It wasn't that much of a run of the mill exorcism movies in that it added a few twists and turns to it! It was also well made, directed and well acted, thus making it a higher quality horror movie! It had some genuine scares and a very eerie tone to it! It took a few things from "The Exorcist," but only a few of them so as not to copy the classic! And the few that it took were wise choices since a reminder of that movie helped to make this movie a bit scarier and horrifying! I am getting tired of possession movies, just like I am of super hero movies! But that is not too say that if one comes along in either category that doesn't make it repetitive likes it's predecessor's, it has a far better chance of being successful and not dull and boring because we have seen the same thing so many times! Such was the case with "The Exorcism Of God." I just to have to comment on some of the user reviews! I have been a fan of horror movies since the age of 5 and now I am 74 years old, so I have seen more than most people. Because of that it takes a lot for a horror movie to not just satisfy me but give me some scares and the creeps now and then. This movie provided me with that! I don't see how a father would take a 10 year old to see such a movie to begin with, but then to say that his child wasn't the least bit scared is either a lie, or he didn't even take his child to see the movie. Perhaps he didn't like it, an opinion that he is entitled to, and figured that he would make his review even more negative by throwing in the alleged comment by his child! Anyhow, it is nice to know that a movie whose genre has been filled with so many like movies, can create one that is just different enough to make it entertaining!

I simply wanted to see how a movie that is scary compared to one like Late night with the devil. Apparently I am the first review which I found shocking. When I watched this film I was expecting another horrible randition to many of the other exorcist movies but I was about to be completely mind blown. It begins a little ROUNCHY but do not worry it does not continue with that same tone but it will scare the BEJESUS OUT OF YOU! I promise if you like scary movies this one will not disappoint. I would love to see these guys produce a movie with a budget because WOW this was definately fun!

I wasn't impressed by the shouting match. I almost left the room.

Eerie atmosphere, unexpected jump scares and scary images. Some scenes might be offensive for some devoted Catholics.

Really enjoyed this one! Despite a lot of online reviews, I checked it out and disagreed with them. Seems like everyone missed the point of the ending! The battle between good and evil is only just beginning, and God always triumphs!
