Our take
The Crucifix: Blood of the Exorcist is a low-budget horror film mixing possession, pagan ritual, and Viking battle imagery. Expect demonic exorcism sequences, very strong British profanity including c-word use, violent threats, and grief over a child's death. Best for adult horror fans only
Story (may spoil tone)
A gruesome discovery in the grounds of their new home plunges a young couple into a maelstrom of spiritual possession, pagan rituals, Viking battles, and violent revenge.
