What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Father Peter's exorcist vocation, sacrilege, excommunication, confession, and battle for his soul structure the central conflict.

The demon unleashes a deadly illness among the town's children, raising the stakes beyond a single possessed person.
Critics specifically describe the film as bombastic, overblown, and visually designed around disturbing demons and gleeful violence.
