- 60VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonOffers a relatively fresh take on standard-issue exorcism-melodrama tropes, along with a performance by Aaron Eckhart that is more than persuasive enough to encourage the investment of a rooting interest.
- 50Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayDense with plot and mythology, the film is refreshingly unpredictable — if only because guessing what comes next would require understanding what the hell is going on.
- 42The A.V. ClubKatie RifeThe A.V. ClubKatie RifeIncarnate is a comic-book movie in search of a comic book.
- 40We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoWe Got This CoveredMatt DonatoIncarnate is just another buried Blumhouse special, and I assure you its neglect is with good reason.

- 15TheWrapSam FragosoTheWrapSam FragosoIssues of continuity and logic pale in comparison to how the film forces Eckhart to act. It’s rare that we see someone as talented as Eckhart be relegated to work this shoddy and dispiriting.
- 12RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiRogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiIncarnate is such a pointless bit of hackwork that it almost makes the recent horror dud “Shut In” seem focused by comparison.
