A priest and two Vatican exorcists must do battle with an ancient satanic force to save the soul of a young woman.
The potential is here but the po-faced screenplay contains painful dialogue, the performances are wooden, with the exception of the ever-reliable Peña, and not a single chill runs up your spine.
Satan makes a play for a bodacious blogger in Mark Neveldine’s zeitgeisty, diabolically thin Halloween offering.
In terms of characterisation and plotting, the film is utterly absurd, but taken as a fairground ride for the ghoulishly inclined, it just about passes muster.
Olivia Taylor Dudley is genuinely creepy as a woman possessed in this otherwise routine chiller.
