Desperate, he recruits Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn, reprising her role from The Exorcist) who, though estranged from her formerly bedevilled daughter, has become an expert in demonic possession.

That the weapon turns out to be a child, Alphie – played by impressive newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles, makes for a story that’s exciting, nuanced and highly original…
