Keena A Aug 21, 2024 I like it although it was dark & more different than anything I ever seen. See more UNK N @RT23622214 1 day ago Absolute garbage of a preacher movie. Felt more like watching areligious maniac give "their testimony". Whilst the main actress did an incredible job in the first half of the film, and the movie showing great promise - it just got overridden by a whole bunch of religion. Similar to "power of friendship" suddenly they have epiphanies and with the power of "jesus christ" one can defeat any demon out there. The whole concept of the possession was poorly written and ripped off from every existing possession movie already out there. See more Marco L @decatur555 Oct 22, 2026 A weak but not empty exorcism drama that works better as family and social melodrama than as horror. The premise had potential: a damaged mother, poverty, social services, inherited wounds, religion, a haunted house and a strong cast led by Andra Day and Glenn Close. The best parts are the human ones, when Lee Daniels focuses on exhaustion, anger, children under pressure and a mother judged from every side. Andra Day gives the film rage and desperation, while Glenn Close is fully committed, even if her character often feels strangely written and close to caricature. The problem is that once demonic possession takes over, everything becomes familiar: voices, contorted bodies, prayers, screaming and predictable exorcism clichés. It rarely feels truly scary, and the melodrama often becomes too loud or ridiculous. There is a better film buried inside it, about family, faith, poverty and judgment, but the horror keeps dragging it toward something clumsy and forgettable. See more Bill T @turn2turn Oct 21, 2026 Good - interesting - worth the watch. Audra Day is great. See more Fro T @frothizzlereviews Sep 18, 2026 What a piece of garbage. This movie is LAUGHABLY BAD. Lee Daniels is an AWFUL writer and director. I can only hold sympathy for Glenn Close, who had to deliver the infamous line .. "I can smell your nappy p****" The possession scenes are terrible. 2/10 See more lewhat A @LowhaAnderson Sep 15, 2026 Tone deaf Christian propaganda wrapped up in a "horror" film, that came up short in everyway. The acting, the supposed thrill and everything else. Only worth watching if you would like to waste your time. Skip this one See more Read all reviews
