* AudienceAlienatingEnding: [[spoiler: The movie abruptly ends with a car crash]] with the plot completely unresolved, and directs viewers to a (now defunct) website to finish the story. Critics and audiences were vocally displayed with the NoEnding to the point it's the only thing most people know about the film.

* AudienceAlienatingEnding: [[spoiler: The movie abruptly ends with a car crash]] with the plot completely unresolved, and directs viewers to a (now defunct) website to finish the story. Critics and audiences were not pleased with the way the film ended. It's gotten to the point where this non-ending is the only thing most people know about the film.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The Vatican conspiracy that's hinted at but never fully explained, never elaborating on Ben’s DarkAndTroubledPast, whether [[spoiler: Maria's second exorcism]] was successful or not, and then there's that [[NoEnding ending.]]

* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler: There’s NoEnding, just a link to a defunct website]]. Since it is the only thing people talk about when mentioning the film nowadays, anyone watching today will be aware of its conclusion.

* OvershadowedByControversy: The ending, or rather [[NoEnding the lack thereof]], became more well-known that anything else about the movie, especially after the website it told viewers to visit went offline.

* AudienceAlienatingEnding: [[spoiler: The movie abruptly ends with a car crash with the plot completely unresolved, and directs viewers to a (now defunct) website to finish the story.]] If it's not considered ''the'' worst movie ending of all time, it's certainly in the top 5. While the film certainly had other criticisms from critics and audiences, this ending was the breaking point that caused people to despise it and encourage others not to waste their time.
* CriticProof: While a massive financial hit, both critics and audiences hated the film, to the point where it earned a rare F on Cinemascore. Then again, it's hard ''not'' for a wide-release horror film to be a hit when it was produced at the cost of only [[NoBudget a million dollars.]]
* HamAndCheese: Susan Crowley as Maria Rossi, one of the few lauded elements of the film because many found her over-the-top possessed antics entertaining.

* {{Narm}}:
** "The Vatican did not endorse this film nor aid in its completion." You know, unlike all those OTHER demonic possession movies that got the Vatican Seal Of Approval.
** The bizarre Irish accent Maria takes on during the exorcism. Is she possessed by a ''leprechaun?''

* AudienceAlienatingEnding: [[spoiler: The movie abruptly ends mid-car crash with the plot completely unresolved, and directs viewers to a (now defunct) website to finish the story.]] If it's not considered ''the'' worst movie ending of all time, it's certainly in the Top 5.

* HypeBacklash: Enjoyed a strong opening weekend, but all hype was squashed the moment audiences first viewed the infamous ending.

* ArtisticLicenseTraditionalChristianity: Virtually every claim made related to Catholicism is the ''opposite'' of how it's actually practiced. For example, the priests claim at one point that a possessee would not be repelled by inverted crosses, as they are blasphemous symbols -- forgetting that an inverted cross is actually known as a "Petrine Cross", a holy symbol associated with Saint Peter (who apparently requested to be crucified upside-down, feeling himself unworthy to share Christ's death) and his successor, the ''Pope''. At another point, they claim that it is important to recognize the identity and infernal rank of the demon, when the Catholic guidelines are to ''completely avoid'' playing into the demon's ego and simply treat it as "the Devil, an enemy of Christ".

** If you happen to understand Italian, watching the movie in English and hearing the heavy Eastern-European accents of some of the supposedly Italian secondary characters (while some scenes of movie were shot in Italy and Vatican City, many were filmed in Bucharest, Romania) ruins the suspension of disbelief, although it does add a layer of unintentional fun.
