Thanks to strong characters, a great cast, and one bonkers-in-the-best-way finale, the film is sure to please undiscerning fans that just want to have a bit of cool-looking fun for an evening.

The Exorcism of God indulges in many aesthetic and narrative cliches as it reaches a very literal climax, but it overall features more than enough flourishes of originality to elevate it above most possession films.

One of the best horror movies to be concerned with. Great effects and great elaboration of horror. It could just be a slightly better story. Fans of traps will get their money's worth. It will freeze your back the next day. Super show for me.

Don't let negative reviews and low ratings deter you from watching this movie cos it's honestly quite good. Specially the story is unique to a certain degree and the jump scares and horror elements are quite well done too. The only reason this film has negative review in an objective manner is cos it has a few pacing issues and a couple of characters kinds have bipolar personalities. The other reasons this movie has negative reviews is cos it's not a woke fest and stays true to traditional Christianity while also being critical of the Vatican to a certain degree.

Right down to its blaspheming finale, The Exorcism of God burns with a subversive desire to rip back the veil on the church’s earthly corruption – but the iconoclasm is somewhat undermined by the daft horror mechanics Venezuelan director Alejandro Hildalgo props it up with.

With the current onslaught of half-baked political horror commentary, sometimes it really is just enough for a film to simply focus on the scares for once, but be forewarned that The Exorcism of God’s subpar plot and politics definitely don’t do it any favors.

Well, it started very well. Had my attention. But as the movie progressed, tempo problems began. I could accept the tempo problems as a calculation error, but then, on the top of the final, the film turned into a joke. I thought it was a horror movie, but they added "comedy" in the last 30 minutes. Yes, the movie has some impressive scenes and well-thought-of details, but the movie also has very amateur things, which drops the production quality. And the funny thing is that movies have ended like a "supernatural" episode. That final broke all my seriousness.
