I enjoyed the film a good bit. The slow burn set up was well done. The casting was fantastic for the majority of the characters. Special effects and cinematography was outstanding.
Now let's talk about the bad parts.
Plot threads were abandoned or forgotten about completely. Especially the beginning scenes with the mother and her voodoo blessing.
It felt like they needed more emphasis on the different religions and beliefs that were brought together for the exorcism. The pieces were there, however they needed to flesh that out more.
The exorcism wasn't terrible, however they rushed the ending and didn't do enough to show the families and fallout after the "twist" ending.
I gave it a 7. It's the 4th movie in the franchise and could have been better, could have been worse. The legacy characters making cameos was well done.
