Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

Kaminski brings all the visual oomph one could ask for, but not enough narrative spine, momentum, or substance.

Bruce Westbrook Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

This tale of ultimate evil is a maddeningly inert drama.

Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

Alas, look is everything here and storytelling and characters are next to nothing, so what emerges is oddly ineffectual and uninvolving -- visually striking set pieces set loose in a void.

Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

Despite its spooky, color-desaturated visuals, guffaws, not screams, are more in order.

Jonathan Foreman New York Post (Top Critic)

Yet another mostly unscary, occasionally comical Exorcist knockoff.

Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

Kaminski and Gardner spend so much time dealing with Good and Evil that they seem to forget all about the far more important distinction between Good and Lousy.

With the original Exorcist back at the multiplex, you don't need this pale copy.

The anticlimactic, is-that-all-there-is ending winds everything up not with a bang, but a whimper.

Mood alone cannot energize this slow, simplistic, and anticlimactic Exorcist pretender.

An absolutely terrible movie, sloppily constructed and poorly executed.

Nigel Floyd Time Out

The tedious storytelling sucks the life and soul out of the characters far more effectively than Satan ever manages.

Ryder seems serious enough, but there's no real evidence that she's even trying to act...

The result is well-photographed but frighteningly incoherent.

There's a good reason this lackluster fright-fest sat on the shelf for two years. It's nothing more than a tired Winona Ryder vehicle taking advantage of the topic du jour -- demonic possession.

Even a cameo by John Hurt fails to make this film worthwhile.

Just wall-to-wall goofiness.

An engaging, stylish and satisfying film.

It's still a little smarter and a little more interesting than most entries in the antichrist genre and packs more than one satisfying scare.

Does anyone really think they have an original satanic thriller up their sleeve?

Once the movie's lack of good sense is taken into account, this great-looking production is reduced to just that, and nothing more.

A classic case of a good idea spun too far out of control.
