Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile researching the life and work of Fr. Gabriel Amorth, Russell Crowe discovered that Amorth's personal favorite movie was The Exorcist (1973), so much so, that Amorth became good friends with its director William Friedkin who later directed a documentary of Amorth's work as an exorcist, The Devil and Father Amorth (2017). This would be the second to last film Friedkin directed to be released in his lifetime before his death on August 7, 2023.
- GoofsThe movie starts in a village in Italy, then in Rome and in Castille, Spain (where I am from). When construction workers speak, before they get burnt, the one who speaks does not have a Spanish accent from Spain. Then, when they take the boy to the hospital, the doctor and the interpreter do speak in Castilian Spanish, but in the subtitles in English they say they are speaking in Italian.

Featured review
So much more than I was expecting.
Father Gabriele Amorth is dispatched by The Vatican to assist a family, who's youngest member has become possessed by a powerful Demon, Amorth unearths all manner of secrets, some of which The Vatican would prefer stayed secret.
I'll be honest, I had low expectations for this film, let's be honest, how many possession films have been released in recent years, some low budget some high, one or two pretty good, the majority not white. The Pope's Exorcist actually rates quite highly.
There are the moments and sequences that you'd expect, the jump scares, the dialogues, the explosions, they're all there, but there is so much more, the characters are all well developed and have more depth than you'd expect, it delivers scares and emotional kicks in equal measure.
Father Amorth is the coolest Priest I've seen on the big screen, Russell Crowe was brilliant, he was tough, he was funny, he drove a Vespa, on my book, be rocked.
This film gave me back some faith in a genre that I thought had long since run its course.
8/10.
