An allegory that's so impossibly overstuffed that it can't help but explode
January 24, 2005
unusual dark comedy, with stacy keach at his best.

Brilliant, funny, moving examination of faith from Blatty.

At its worst, it is supposed to be profound; at its best it's amusing
April 25, 2016
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....

Obtuse thriller.

Should be the centerpiece of a Stacy Keach shrine somewhere . . . should one ever be erected.
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.
