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.

4/5

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.

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

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.

The scares aren’t that interesting, and some of the jump scares are so loud and quickly cut that I literally didn’t even know what happening. It was just startling and gave me zero information about what was actually going on in the film.

Despite boasting a unique, modern take on the possession genre, The Exorcism does little to innovate or even so much as entertain with a narrative that peters out into nothingness after a series of eerie yet forgettable scares.

3/5

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

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.
