In the end, excess wins with horror overwhelmed by hokum.

It’s not just the demonic possession victims whose eyes will be rolling back in their skulls – none of this should work, really, and yet the film just about gets away with it, proving the Lord truly does move in mysterious ways.

Crowe is by far the film’s strongest suit, pre-empting (some of) our gigglier responses and mitigating against (some of) the material’s flimsiness.

The Pope’s Exorcist is never particularly scary or thrilling, but it does manage to coast by on star power, thanks to a generously bonkers performance from Crowe, hip flask, scooter, and all.

There’s nothing you haven’t seen before, but Avery puts it together with so much aplomb that you can’t help but have a good time.
