It's a chance to watch Pearce and his remarkable cheekbones and gleeful weirdness at work with a scripture-chewing performance that puts a lot of meat on what could have been an off-the-peg turn from a lesser actor.

Pearce gets the good lines, which he delivers with a sinister nonchalance that says, "The devil made me do it. Or maybe it was my accountant."

A movie like this needs to be more in-your-face. Instead, its intensity level rarely rises above a mutter.

1/5

Sadly, The Seventh Day can't muster much in the way of anything near that and instead opts to be a dull meditation on what goes into having faith. Considering the power of Christ compels us – it's not that compelling.

Mixing the subject matter of The Exorcist with the structure of Training Day is a pretty intriguing starting place for a movie, but Lange unfortunately struggles at times to make the most out of these unconventional ingredients.

Material like this should be unsettling and make us squirm. But it all comes across as pretty generic despite having an enticing general premise and at least one capable lead.

Good movie. The progression of a priest. The end hints to a sequel. Would have been great during Halloween. Recommended.

I've been a Guy Pearce fan for decades. But I suppose once you've seen "The Exorcist", all other possession horror films pale by comparison. I can't quite put my finger on WHY, but I just couldn't seem to 'connect' with any of the characters. I didn't believe what they were selling, and I particularly resent cheap "jump scares". Jump scares are not actually caused because you're scared -- you are startled rather than actually frightened. In any case, I didn't think the chemistry between the two lead characters was good at all ... something was off and just didn't work. That may have been the biggest factor as to why I just couldn't get interested in this film.

I mean, for real, the acting is so bad. It looked as if it was trying too hard to mimic a big-budget horror movie, instead of creating something special.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

What on earth is Guy Pearce doing in this mostly awful movie. While some thought provoking theological questions are brought up, most of should be very interesting does not go much of anywhere due to faulty screenwriting and directing. The voices placed on the possessed child are a laugh. I hope Pearce once again chooses his work wisely.
