Ooit overnachtte Bram Stoker, de auteur van Dracula, in Six Mile Hill, een Iers boerengat waar luidens de legende de oeroude vampier Abhartach begraven ligt. Wanneer enkele wegenwerkers zijn laatste rustplaats verstoren, ontketenen ze ongewild een sinistere oerkracht waarbij Dracula maar klein bier is. Overleeft het dorp de nacht?  

Reviews

• Bloody-disgusting.com: Springs to life when Baugh goes all-in on the horror elements. Ihe film does leave you thirsting for more vampiric slaughter.
• Bloody-flicks.co.uk: Boys from County Hell is an unconventional vampire film with the humour of a Shaun of the Dead plus plenty of gore. Highly recommended.
• Jbspins.com: a pretty wild ride.
• TheGuardian.com: a bloody good laugh.
• Ukfilmreview.co.uk: The charm and familiarity among the ensemble are undoubtedly the reasons the film works as well as it does.
• Jordyreviewsit.com: A big crowd-pleaser. It’s witty and emotional (at time), while being a hell of a fun ride.
• Dailydead.com: a lot of fun and one that you will definitely want to check out.
• Llivingsnoqualmie.com: The characters are quite funny, even if not always believable. Complete with carnage and heart-stopping moments, this film will probably start you out asking, “what on earth did we pay for” but leave you grinning and refreshed.
• Letterboxd.com: Wickedly fun Irish horror movie.
• Scarynerd.com: Succeeds with a brilliant tone, a different spin on vampires and successful comedy throughout.

Reviews

• Modernmyths.nl: Sommige films blijven je lang bij. Een knoop in je maag en een brok in je keel ... IJzersterk acteerwerk.
• 411mania.com: A brutal and uncompromising horror-thriller that never feels mindless or pointlessly cruel. Anchored by a marvelously villainous turn by Daniel Gillies and an intensity that never lets you go, this is a gorgeous and well-crafted piece of abduction horror that is well worth seeing.
• Bloody-disgusting.com: A grim, jaw-dropping morality thriller.
• LAtimes.com: Ashcroft and his cast - and especially Gillies as the menacing and charismatic Mandrake - excel at drawing out the moment-to-moment tension of a crime in progress.
• HollywoodReporter.com:  A nerve-rattling portrait of chance violence becomes a dark meditation on the long-term reverberations of childhood abuse in state institutions.
• Nycmovieguru.com: A riveting, provocative and terrifying psychological horror film.
• Bloodygoodhorror.com: Impactful, brutal, and unrelenting.
• Horrorbuzz.com: Dark, violent, and in some moments strangely resonant, Coming Home in the Dark is a much smarter suspense thriller than we are used to.
• Screenzealots.com: Filled with an unrelenting brutality that will give your nerves a jolt.
• Slashfilm.com: A one and a half-hour gut-punch, Coming Home in the Dark is bleak, tense, and often unshakable. It sticks with you; haunts you. Leaves you feeling restless. Anxiety-inducing and frequently unpleasant, it travels down dark roads, and while you can likely guess the destination, getting there is no less unnerving.
• Voicesfromthebalcony.com: Unrelenting and grim, from an early moment that echoes The Hitcher until its final scene, this is a tense thriller with its roots in real-world horrors.

Reviews

• ReogerEbert.com: Features more than enough flourishes of originality to elevate it above most possession films. Its characters and narratives are well thought-out and progress logically, without significantly deviating from their goals and themes. "The Exorcism of God" is always committed, and often surprising. 
• Bandsaboutmovies.com: I have never seen a movie where a demon tries to exorcise God from the soul of a priest, so well done director Alejandro Hidalgo.
• Heavenofhorror.com: So much works so extremely well in this movie, which is why it is definitely worth watching. Any fan of exorcism movies (or The Exorcist in particular) should not miss out on this one!
• Ihorror.com: A two-fisted devilish good time. It's a tremendous take on the genre that proves there is still life in the world of cinematic exorcisms.
• Scaredsheepless.wordpress.com: An energetic take on the possession movie.
• Grimoireofhorror.com: This movie will definitely appeal to anyone who is a fan of a good exorcism. 4 out 5 stars.
• Signalhorizon.com: There are genuinely unnerving jumpscares, extended bursts of violence, and loud bone-rattling roars that jangle the nerves and set your teeth on edge. It isn’t a cheap film full of one jump after another, but instead, well times scares that keep you poised for more. For fans of hyper-violence, unsettling imagery, and nervous laughter, The Exorcism Of God is an entertaining triumph
