Brian Lowry, writing for CNN, called the film "a pretty awful starring vehicle for the actor that she also produced, a film unlikely to produce many sparks beyond those set off by the morbidly curious".[9] Top critic Sara Michelle Fetters criticized the film's plot as "unoriginal", but praised its visuals and costumes as "all suitably authentic" and "solid". Fetters also praised its editing and the performances by the cast members, particularly singling out Heard's performance by noting that, "Heard's work here as a late-19th century doctor researching the supposed possession of a young child is excellent."[10]
