Despite an intense central performance from Sydney Sweeney and a real shocker of an ending, this drab horror film fails to raise much of a pulse.

Some appealing performances and competent filmmaking can’t save this aggravating mess, which vies for Morbius as a low point in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.

Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon discover that the swimming pool in their new home may not be entirely on the level in this horror film from Bryce McGuire.

This sixth entry in The Exorcist franchise is not without interest, but lacks scares and fails to deliver anything beyond the usual possession narrative.
