Renny Harlin makes a demon possession movie.

Refuge (2023) is an action-horror movie directed by Renny Harlin and it turned out to be another generic demon possession movie and it was awful.Positives for Refuge (2023): The movie works as good background noise for when you're doing other things. That's it for the positives.Negatives for Refuge (2023): The movie is horribly pacing and it's like that throughout the entire runtime. Aside from the main plot, nothing happens in this movie. The acting from the cast is awful and it feels like they're reading off cue-cards. There's barely any action sequences and that's a rarity for a Renny Harlin movie. And finally, the demon possession stuff is very basic and it feels half-assed.Overall, Refuge (2023) is another one of these dumb and generic demon possession movies that I am starting to get sick and tired of watching.

They make the American/Muslim population out to be so racist:

What A Mess

You know, Renny Harlin knows how to make a film. Unfortunately he seems incapable of choosing the correct vehicle for his endeavours.This is essentially a Muslim version of The Exorcist, without any of the thrills or tension that made that film a classic.There are plenty of fine actors in this film, but they are only handed cliches with which to work.I'm afraid to criticise the direction this movie takes because I may bring a jihad down on myself, but it appears someone was trying to drive home the idea that a 2000 year old spirit may only be exorcised by a 1400 year old religion. Further to that, the 2000 year old religion that managed to rid the world of the demon that infected Linda Blair is treated as a sideshow worthy of only a few disparaging scenes. If they really wanted a convincing showdown, perhaps they should have chosen an even older religion instead. You know which one I mean.Ultimately, this is a rather pedestrian attempt at a woke-ish horror film that is is well shot but offers little by way of horror or even thrills.Go rewatch The Exorcist instead.
