Potential but an overall failed effort.

I felt like this was an average possession movie but it had some good moments. The opening scene is great and grabs your attention but quickly gets boring for about 45 minutes. The small town plot should have got fleshed out more, specifically the cult part. The exorcist returning to that area is the most interesting part of the story but you have to get through a large chunk of nothing before hand. Special effects are decent and it's something different in a saturated subgenre. If you like possession movies you should check it out and give it a chance. Just for me personally by the ending I stopped caring and was ready for it to be over.

Shadow of God had the ingredients for a strong film but falls apart when it strays from practical effects

I recently watched the Canadian film ?? Shadow of God (2025) on Shudder. The story follows a priest with extensive experience in exorcisms, whose next case hits close to home - he must perform an exorcism on his own father. As he confronts the entity inside his dad, he begins to wonder if he's facing God himself...The film is directed by Michael Peterson (Knuckleball) and stars Mark O'Brien (Ready or Not), Jacqueline Byers (Prey for the Devil), Josh Cruddas (Polar), and Adrian Hough (There's Someone Inside Your House).Shadow of God feels familiar - like a story you've seen before - but it still manages to hold your attention. The acting is excellent, and the dynamic between the priest and his father feels authentic. The setup is solid, and there's a shooting/execution scene that really grabbed my attention. Unfortunately, the exorcism scenes rely heavily on CGI, which felt awkward and ultimately broke the immersion for me.In conclusion, Shadow of God had the ingredients for a strong film but falls apart when it strays from practical effects. I would score it a 4/10 and recommend skipping it.

Sub Par at Best

This is just not a great movie to begin with, let alone a good exorcism movie. None of the characters really have any depth and the entire film just exists to posit the very unoriginal plot of "what if God were evil?" and it doesn't really even deliver on that too well. It's not overly long, so that's good, and some of the acting isn't bad at all, but the editing, terrible special effects, and predictably of the film definitely make this less than it could have been. I would only recommend this to veteran horror lovers who have seen their fair share of bad movies, because there might be a chance that they could appreciate some parts of this movie.
