Like the Gothic castle (festooned with gargoyles, crucifixes and posters of Bela Lugosi) in which The Ninth Configuration is predominantly set, Blatty's film is something of a grand folly, by turns uproariously funny and deadly serious....March 18, 2003
Should be the centerpiece of a Stacy Keach shrine somewhere . . . should one ever be erected.December 29, 2002
Brilliant, funny, moving examination of faith from Blatty.April 26, 2016
A resolutely offbeat film which offers a richly rewarding and affecting viewing experience if you're willing to embrace it's esoteric flourishes.February 09, 2015
Obtuse thriller.July 15, 2002
