The New York Times
Van Rooijen’s overreliance on herky-jerky jump scares is a pity, because the movie that exists in the silence is surprisingly satisfying. - 50
The Seattle Times
The dour environment doesn’t help, the humor doesn’t pop and, disappointingly, the scares just don’t land. There are a few jumps and bumps, but there’s no real sense of dread or unease or questioning. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Doesn't bring anything new to its very tired genre. - 50
Variety
Viewers hooked on the spectacle of demonic possession tend to like their satanic tropes served neat. The Possession of Hannah Grace serves them sloppy, if not without a certain random soupçon of grisly style. - 50
Chicago Tribune
But for all the pondering The Possession of Hannah Grace inspires, it’s also true that at 85 minutes, it still manages to feel tedious at times. The dour environment doesn’t help, the humor doesn’t pop, and disappointingly, the scares just don’t land. - 42
The A.V. Club
It’s exorcism’s greatest hits, if exorcism were a band playing 300 casinos and state fairs a year. - 38
Movie Nation
The production design is top drawer. It’s just that if I’m mentioning that, there’s little else in the movie to recommend it. - 33
TheWrap
It lacks character, it lacks morbidity, it lacks subtext, it lacks suspense. It just kinda lays there like Hannah, but without any of her sinister magic.
