About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a possession story mixed with trial drama and lingering questions about faith and reason; Not for you if you want nonstop horror scares, since Deliver Us from Evil or The Rite may better match your expectations.
Pros: gripping possession moments; strong lead performances; faith vs facts debate | Cons: courtroom-heavy pacing; limited horror tension; drab, dated feel
