An impressively staged climactic exorcism compensates in part for the random, far-fetched storytelling that precedes it.

If you didn't know that Jerry Bruckheimer produced this movie, the boot prints on your eardrums would've clued you in.
Wesley Morris, Grantland
Rotten
Director Scott Derrickson and his co-writer, Paul Harris Boardman, deliver a routine procedural with unremarkable frights.
Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Director Scott Derrickson demonstrates a knack for atmosphere but little sense of pacing; some sequences are effectively spooky (particularly one set at the Bronx Zoo), though just as many feel uninspired.
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
Rotten
It's time for Derrickson, who also directed The Exorcism of Emily Rose, to master a new ritual.
