This is so lame. Watched it yesterday in cinema and my expression is that watching this movie is waste of time. I was so excited when I watched the trailer but when the movie starts it was really bad. Low performance, low budget and the acting is not so good.

The producers/directors are just hilarious. The plot is poor, the story prieview is way too long. I had to wait whole hour to see 5minutes of action. That wasn't very creative. I decided not to watch trailer but I guessed that movie will be something like a serial killer killing his victims by nailing them on the cross for their sins. That was like a bad copy of "Conjuring". I wouldn't even call this "horror movie" a movie. I give this trash 3/10 and I hardly recommend to everyone avoid this film if you can unless you want to destroy your life.

In the bonus segment of the DVD version of "The Crucifixion," the director Xavier Gens discussed how he felt a deep "personal connection" after his first reading of the screenplay. In an exorcism film, that is a good sign that the result may be not only be a good thriller, but one with some genuine feeling. The director also mentioned that he wanted a film that would break tradition with the generic exorcism film that attempts only "to scare" the audience. Gens was successful in finding his voice and creating a cinematic world that focused on outdoor locations and inventive uses of light, as opposed to the conventional claustrophobic bedroom setting of most exorcism films.Inspired by the true story of the Tanacu exorcism in Romania in 2004, the film approaches this delicate subject from the perspective of an American reporter, who gets more deeply involved in the subject of exorcisms than she bargained for as a journalist.We see the drama unfold from the perspective of 23-year-old Nicole Rawlins, a nonbeliever, who has never come to terms with the death of her mother and the conflict she exacerbated with her devoutly religious mom. In investigating the death of a young nun, Sister Adelina Marinescu, and the priest facing murder charges for her death, Father Dimitru, Nicole becomes the main subject of drama in Tanacu. And the primary emotion that drives the film is Nicole abiding sense of personal guilt.From Bishop Gornik, Nicole learns about the four stages of demonic possession and the function of the exorcist, as the victim moves from (1) presence (the initial possession) to (2) breaking point (the victim's period of panic) to (3) clash (the ensuing battle of the Devil and the Lord) and (4) expulsion (the final triumph of God's will by casting out the demonic spirit from the body of the sinner). We learn in the film that "demons are everywhere, waiting for their opportunity." The opportunity that presents itself with the arrival of the journalist, setting the stage for the "transference" of the demon into a weak and vulnerable vessel such as Miss Rawlins. One of the key figures in the film is Fr. Anton, who will befriend the journalist as a kind of spiritual bodyguard, on call at all times to assist her with a spur-of-the-moment exorcism. Early in the film, the starting point for the possession of Sister Adelina was a sexual experience she had with a young cad. The film also implies a countervailing sexual tension between young Miss Rollins and Fr. Anton. Wow! Based on this film, it appears that sex plays a role in demonic possession theory!While "The Crucifixion" may not be a great film, there was some innovation in the creative idea of rain (as opposed to split pea soup) as the visual metaphor for the possession. The visual effects were creative and memorable, and there is a moving parable in the healing process of Miss Rawlins after the loss of her mother. At the close of the film, we learn that Fr. Dimitru and four nuns served seven years in prison for the death of Sister Adelina Marinescu. When he was released from the penitentiary, Fr. Dimitru went right back to performing exorcism in the second decade of the twenty-first century.

Ah, another exorcism movie to sink my teeth into. Actually, my vote is closer to 6 1/2. Overall, a pretty good movie. It kept my interest right to the end, even though a major incident in the conclusion was telegraphed long before, but still intrigued.Early on we see Sister Adelina undergoing an exorcism and the actress does a good job in the role of the devil's victim, both during the exorcism and in the several flashbacks that show her descent into the clutches of the demon. Sophie Cookson plays Nicole, a reporter who travels to Romania, and who is a sceptic about religion. Her performance is solid throughout, as were the jobs done by the rest of the cast, including several Romanian actors and two from Spain. All of this was based on a true story that happened in 2005.Of course several familiar tropes occur along the way that all of us recognize as de riguer for this kind of a movie: a lot of dead insects, strange sounds, hallucinations, solid black eyes, as well as the expected floating in air, among others. The production value is high for a B list movie like this, and all about it has the look of quality. Yes, I recommend it if you are an exorcism movie aficionado like me, or if you just like the horror genre. If you are only faintly interested in horror movies then you should probably give this one a pass. It is directed by Xavier Gens, who previously directed two pretty good horror/drama movies: "Frontiers" and "The Divide."
