The Exorcism
A troubled actor begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film, leading his estranged daughter to wonder if he's slipping back into his past addictions or if there's something more sinister at play.
Critics Sentiment
Joe sees phantom Miller and is killed by flying glass from mirror
Lee burns possessed Miller with crucifix, breaking the paralysis
The film crashes from its peak death scene (6.5) to its poorly received climactic exorcism sequence (2.5), a drop of 4 points as critics found the finale incoherent and unsatisfying.
The Exorcism starts with modest promise but quickly loses momentum due to pacing issues and heavy themes that weigh down the horror elements. Critics appreciated Russell Crowe's committed performance and a few effective supernatural moments, but universally panned the choppy editing and incoherent final act. The film fails both as horror entertainment and as the serious psychological drama it attempts to be.
