What are critics saying?

40

Village Voice by Nick Schager

The Offering leaves few horror devices unused.

20

Los Angeles Times by Noel Murray

[An] uninspired, nonsensical mishmash, which crudely cobbles together second-hand religious imagery, abrasively noisy jump-scares, and — for some reason — techno-phobia.

20

The New York Times by Andy Webster

The Offering, a muddled horror film, falls over itself incorporating as many genre elements as possible. The result is the cinematic equivalent of combining every paint color on a canvas: a murky mess.

12

Slant Magazine by Chuck Bowen

It inspires retrospective gratitude for the empty yet slick craftsmanship of someone like James Wan.

10

The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore

What it all adds up to is either laughably baffling or just plain laughable, depending on how much attention one has paid.
