	Author	Review
United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"An odd hybrid of slasher and exorcism flick (...) Even horror neophytes won't be spooked by a film that looks as if it were shot with a smartphone (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"The film is said to be based on the case files of a real-life cop-turned-demonologist. Instead, it seems to have been inspired by a stack of rejected horror-movie scripts (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Expertly serves shivers, buckets of gore — and pretty much every cliché of the genre (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Tasha Robinson Chicago Tribune	"A professionally assembled genre mashup that’s too silly to be scary, and a bit too dull to be a midnight-movie guilty pleasure"	NEG
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"While the supernatural side of the film suffers a flaw or two (...) its central conflict works"	NEU
