Not hard to see why this sat on the shelf for a few years but what is surprising is the studio sunk more money to salvage this dreadfully dull supernatural horror film. Not entirely sure why Russell Crowe was in this unless he just wanted to try new things and maybe was bored or something. Also interesting to see Sam Worthington falling to third billing behind Ryan Simpkins. The third act is just …

The Exorcism is more of a psychological drama than a straight-up horror film, and that’s where it finds its strength.

Unbeknown to him, though, we know that the studio set is home to a malevolent spirit - who saw off his predecessor (or perhaps he just volunteered) - and is now …
