Critics Consensus

Despite a solid cast and intermittent thrills, Legion suffers from a curiously languid pace, confused plot, and an excess of dialogue.

Perri Nemiroff (YouTube)

Swallowed up by its effort to be a film of multiple genres. The only genre it earns a place in is comedy; it achieves an amount of unwarranted laughs of biblical proportions.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

A whole series of familiar tropes wrapped up in a cliché-ridden bow.

Rob's Movie Vault

The movie takes its absurdity very very seriously, but somehow it retains the vibe of the sort of flick you used to encounter in the video store in a lurid, battered clamshell case.

Rated: B-

If you can't handle demons and crazy evil possessions - don't watch the film. If you’re a hardcore bible reader, don’t watch the film - it won't match up. Otherwise, grab a Corona and enjoy

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great use of one location and a surprisingly entertaining film that should be considered a cult classic.
