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.

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.

Never remotely scary, and when it aims for visual terror it’s ultimately an embarrassment of poor CGI and a manic mentality it hasn’t quite earned.
