Loud and Clear Reviews

This is a film that stands out in very few places. It has nothing new to bring to the horror genre, and it doesn’t have nearly enough of a remarkable execution to overlook how tired its story and characters are.

Rated: 2.5/5

Lacking a natural flow to dialogue or a clear raison d’etre, it sadly falls short of being a worthy entry into the demonic horror subgenre.

Rated: 2/5

Film Threat

As the editor and director, Kincaide demonstrates a strong grasp of mood and scene construction. But, as a writer, he fills the first half with too much exposition, familiarity, and throwaway secondary characters.

Rated: 5/10

The importance of characters and world building shines bright in Leroy Kincaide's assured debut feature. Incredibly well constructed, The Last Rite has all the right ingredients for a great possession tale.

Rated: 4/5

Awful movie, the plot and characters absolutely stink. The main actor is the worst actor I've ever seen in a movie shouts constantly but is so wooden. Wish I could have the two hours of my life back.

Truly one of worst movies I've ever seen. Shame on everyone involved and shame on Hulu for streaming it.

Definitely had good parts, the music and environments/mood setting were the best parts but the story and premise really could've used some work. I'm not all that familiar with possession horror films so it was probably scarier for me than those who are.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Lagrange P

A solid basic premise with decent performances and enough intelligence to keep things interesting until the third act. At that point the movie lurches sideways in a hurry and rushes at breakneck speed to a sad whimper of an ending. What I'm sure is intended to be an eerie and ambiguous conclusion is instead an utter letdown, with the final card conceit bringing sharply into focus the fact that key plot and character development points won't even be provided, much less resolved.

Rating: 7/10. 70/100. | Better than I thought it was going to be. Plus scarier. Hit me the hardest bc I used to have an imaginary friend who’d just watch me play, and he looked like this shadow figure. Plus, as a kid I would hear my name being whispered or said aloud in my ear as I tried to sleep. One main reason I have to have a fan on to this day. And don’t get me started on the Estes Method session I did with my buddies and we got the name “Legion” countless times. All of this WAY before the film came out, let alone before I watched it.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
