Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 100% based on six reviews. Natalia Keogan of Filmmaker praised Georgia Eyers's performance and wrote that, "It's interesting to see a horror film, call out dangerous religious rites instead of sensationalizing them—and even more so for one that's 'based on true events' (a case from 1994) to present tangible facts in lieu of obscuring them to create a more compelling narrative." Bloody Disgusting's Meagan Navarro gave the film a score of two out of five, criticizing its narrative as "stripped bare of anything outside its path toward exorcism-induced destruction" and its sound design as "overblown"; she called the film "effectively uncomfortable" but referred to it as "less successful in its attempts to infuse a fictional horror movie with true crime."
