Help remember the name of an old movie enough. The film looked in the 80s. The meaning of the film vaguely remember. The film is likely very similar to the English Poirot or Miss Marple. Start vaguely...

The film has many confrontations between Kane and Cutshaw.
Thief
Author William Peter Blatty went further to channel that evil through what is essentially an innocent creature: a child, while also having the person who is supposed to fight against that evil, a priest, question his own beliefs in The Exorcist.
