The Crucifixion

Released in 2017, The Crucifixion is a horror film that deals with an exorcism.

The movie is based on a supposedly true story about an actual exorcism that was performed on a nun in Romania. This nun was reputed to have been actually possessed by a demon.

Actress Ada Lupu plays the possessed nun, and when we first meet her, she's being carried by her sister nuns while tied to a cross.

She's barefoot and dressed in a simple shift.

She does not survive her exorcism, sadly, and her death is the reason a reporter (Sophie Cookson) from New York City comes to Romania to investigate.

Lupu's performance in these scenes is superb; she really gives it her all.

The exorcism, with a barefoot Lupu tied down throughout, is intercut as flashbacks through the whole movie as Cookson's reporter finds out more of the story in the present day.

Although she never gets tied, there are still some nice barefoot moments with Cookson.

As usual, the spooky stuff happens late at night, when Cookson's dressed for bed.

But as these caps show, she doesn't get much sleep.
