   "I get it. It takes all kinds" says one character (doesn't matter who) right before the interfaith exorcism, and thats as deep as this movies message gets. After an ok, tense-ish first half it quickly devolves into creaky callbacks and muddled intersectional claptrap, as if pleasing a nodding dog audience is more important than character development or meaningful scares.
   Ps that Chris girlboss monologue is tragic - a momentary beg for a goodboy sticker betrays numerous characters and emotional beats of the original, Chris included. Without spoliers, she discusses not previously being allowed in a room because of "patriarchy"...but when she is allowed in the room and something happens, I was dying for her to say, "oh maybe THATS why they didn't let me in" 6 months ago

   Predictable, wooden acting, and not scary at all.

   I guess 75 billion boring exorcist movies wasn't enough, so Blumhouse gives us another one to throw on the pile. However, this one is set in the official exorcist cinematic universe and deletes the pretty good Exorcist III from the timeline to stink up its place.
   
   There is nothing in this movie that we haven't seen 75 billion times. It's always the same combination of stupid crap about religion, boring filler scenes, bad characters and ineffective horror sequences. I really feel like absolutely nothing happened in this movie. Two girls that we barely get to know get possessed, then nothing happens for 90 minutes and it's over. I don't even understand what we were supposed to be scared of. That a bunch of stupid religious people may die? Good riddance. 6 months 3 weeks ago
