Key opinion
The Exorcist: Believer is widely considered a significant disappointment that fails to live up to the legacy of the original film. Critics and audiences alike criticize its weak script, lack of genuine scares, and incoherent narrative, viewing the expensive franchise revival as a soulless and redundant entry in the horror genre.
| Screenplay | The film suffers from a weak, incoherent screenplay that relies on tired tropes rather than original ideas. | |
| Direction | The direction fails to create tension, resulting in a dull experience that turns horror into a 'circus'. | |
| Acting | The acting is widely panned as wooden and unconvincing, with even the veteran cast members failing to elevate the material. | |
| Pacing | The pacing is criticized for being sluggish and episodic, making the two-hour runtime feel excessive. | |
| Production | Opinions on the technical execution are split: some find the visuals to be slick and competent, while others dismiss the film as low-budget and lacking in atmosphere. | |
| Ending | The ending is divisive; while some find the final ten minutes offer slightly above-average twists, others dismiss it as an abrupt and incomplete fragment. |
