Exorcist: The Beginning

"Annoyingly disjointed shocker stumbles badly after promising early scenes."

"Fails to deliver any palpable shivers."

"A botch job of mistimed scare scenes, bland characters and computer-generated hyenas."

"A perfectly mediocre horror film."

"This Beginning simply feels as if it has no end."

"It isn't quite hell, but clambering to the end of this dusty remnant of an idea is certainly purgatory."

"The kind of film that mysteriously vanishes from most participants' resumes."

"It's dull, it's grim, it's stupid."

"A sprawling anything-for-a-jolt movie."

"If you're looking for groundbreaking badness, you needn't look much further."

"A lot of noisy tomfoolery that never coalesces into a solid horror yarn."
