	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[Peearce's] cool-cat attitude is the only innovation in a movie that spews the usual devil-is-here tropes at us."	NEU
United States	Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media	"This horror movie tries to put a new spin on the old exorcism genre, and it certainly has some thoughtful moments, but the scares are mostly nonexistent, and the storytelling is all too predictable."	NEU
United States	Tomris Laffly rogerebert.com	"The whole experience feels like a generic inventory of recognizable tropes (...) Except, the cumulative fear bizarrely fizzles before it reaches something significant or emotionally meaningful."	NEU
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"That premise is goofy enough to be fun but, as executed by writer-director Justin P. Lange, the movie is too ponderous and dry — neither endearingly trashy nor effectively scary."	NEG
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"It has an impressive cast that includes Guy Pearce and Stephen Lang. Unfortunately, the story is weak and predictable which results in a disappointing movie (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"As a Guy Pearce stan, I would happily watch him read a vacuum cleaner instruction manual (...) So there was a delicious thrill in discovering he co-stars in this reasonably compelling horror feature (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
