Leslie Felperin Guardian Apr 22, 2021
3/5
It's a chance to watch Pearce and his remarkable cheekbones and gleeful weirdness at work with a scripture-chewing performance that puts a lot of meat on what could have been an off-the-peg turn from a lesser actor. Go to Full Review
Owen Gleiberman Variety Mar 26, 2021
Pearce gets the good lines, which he delivers with a sinister nonchalance that says, "The devil made me do it. Or maybe it was my accountant." Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Mar 25, 2021
A movie like this needs to be more in-your-face. Instead, its intensity level rarely rises above a mutter. Go to Full Review

1/5
Sadly, The Seventh Day can't muster much in the way of anything near that and instead opts to be a dull meditation on what goes into having faith. Considering the power of Christ compels us – it's not that compelling. Go to Full Review

1/4
Mixing the subject matter of The Exorcist with the structure of Training Day is a pretty intriguing starting place for a movie, but Lange unfortunately struggles at times to make the most out of these unconventional ingredients. Go to Full Review

Material like this should be unsettling and make us squirm. But it all comes across as pretty generic despite having an enticing general premise and at least one capable lead. Go to Full Review

Jeanette Apr 13, 2021 We were unable to watch this movie because they sent us to the wrong theater, as we were walking in on the door it said that was the movie to be showing in theater 10 but that was theater 01 they marked it wrong See more Dennis B Mar 27, 2021 Good movie. The progression of a priest. The end hints to a sequel. Would have been great during Halloween. Recommended. See more Red in D @redindenver 4 days ago I've been a Guy Pearce fan for decades. But I suppose once you've seen "The Exorcist", all other possession horror films pale by comparison. I can't quite put my finger on WHY, but I just couldn't seem to 'connect' with any of the characters. I didn't believe what they were selling, and I particularly resent cheap "jump scares". Jump scares are not actually caused because you're scared -- you are startled rather than actually frightened. In any case, I didn't think the chemistry between the two lead characters was good at all ... something was off and just didn't work. That may have been the biggest factor as to why I just couldn't get interested in this film. See more Ann H @Chicgeek Jul 5, 2026 I thoroughly enjoyed this. Cant understand the low rating here. See more g S @RT50235449 May 3, 2026 I mean, for real, the acting is so bad. It looked as if it was trying too hard to mimic a big-budget horror movie, instead of creating something special. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 1, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
