What is the ruling on watching horror movies that depict possession by jinn and devils, and the expulsion of jinn by crosses and the Gospel?

These movies are not free from the evils present in other films, such as music and the uncovering of 'awrah (private parts), which is sufficient to prohibit them. Even more objectionable is their inclusion of rituals of disbelief, such as the cross and the reading of the distorted (muharraf) Gospel.
