I enjoy movies with a good story and rich world-building. Although I'd rate this movie a 6/10, I still liked and enjoyed watching it. It's a thriller and mystery that kept me hooked as I wanted to uncover each mystery. The creatures were terrifying, I wouldn't want to come across one of those.

I do agree with some of the reviews that I found some of the characters odd, and no one normal would act the way they did if they were in such a situation.

One thing that could have made a big impact is adding a bit of romance at the end-you'll understand when you watch it. Overall, it's not a mind-blowing story, but I enjoyed it.

Great protagonist? Check.

Scary location? Check.

Good story? Check.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from a movie with the word "exorcist" in the title. I was pleasantly surprised when it exceeded my expectations and gave my friends and me an enjoyable night of horror.

The story is good, it wasn't life changing, but it definitely gave me goosebumps once the plot twist unfolded. The movie is a breath of fresh air for possession type films.

Russell Crowe's performance is praiseworthy. Me and my friends instantly liked Father Gabriele's spunk. If there's a "cool mom" then he is definitely a "cool priest".

The film mentions that it is based on the real life story of Father Gabriele Amorth, which just added another round of goosebumps on my arms.

I know this is a horror movie, but the ending just made me feel good. I'm so excited for the sequel!

I like horror films with good stories and thats why I would recommend this to my family and friends!

I believe it's better to go into this movie blind, so I will also be a bit vague with my review. The first part of the film can be a bit slow and plenty of dialogues. Those conversations really lay the groundwork for where the story's headed and give us a good sense of who the main characters are.

The music really sets the mood and keeps you hooked. Although the slower part doesn't stick around for too long, before you know it, you're fully absorbed in the movie, long before the halfway mark.

What I really enjoyed about the movie were the solid plot, well-developed characters, strong acting, and some genuinely scary moments. The ending was perfect and won't leave you feeling down like some other horror flicks. There are more things I liked, but I don't want to spoil anything. Overall, it's a great horror film to watch, even solo, as it's not as traumatizing as other Asian horror classics like "Shutter" or "The Grudge."
