Crowley (2008)

Stuttering professor Oliver Haddo gets into a virtual reality scuba suit and ends up being possessed by the spirit of Aleister Crowley, who proceeds to cause havoc and spew bodily fluids around campus.  He wishes to permanently take residence in the professor and starts black magic rituals.

The movie is confusing as the virtual reality idea is never fleshed out.  I'm not sure what the point of the experiment was or why it started with a virtual receptionist in an office.

Simon Callow does an excellent job as Haddo/Crowley.  The film was co-written by Bruce Dickinson, of Iron Maiden fame.
