If I'm being quite honest, _The_ _Crucifixion_ is actually shot quite well. But there is absolutely nothing going on here you haven't seen done before, and unless you’re on some sort of quest to watch every possession/exorcism film there is, I'd say you may as well skip _The Crucifixion_, 'cause you've essentially already watched it.

The Crucifixion is a very generic Horror film that doesn't really do anything well in particular.

The movie is a weird mishmash of styles, with rural Romanian towns being presented as almost medieval but with interiors from 1940. The main characters drive modern cars but still use flip phones. The whole set feels disjointed and odd. There are just a few locations being positive exceptions.
