An impressively staged climactic exorcism compensates in part for the random, far-fetched storytelling that precedes it.

Director Scott Derrickson and his co-writer, Paul Harris Boardman, deliver a routine procedural with unremarkable frights.

Director Scott Derrickson demonstrates a knack for atmosphere but little sense of pacing; some sequences are effectively spooky (particularly one set at the Bronx Zoo), though just as many feel uninspired.

It's time for Derrickson, who also directed The Exorcism of Emily Rose, to master a new ritual.
