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
Russel Crowe makes an otherwise passable by the numbers Exorcism film far more enticing.
Like clockwork we have at least 2 possession films each year around the same time. Easter and Halloween it seems. They're usually hit or miss with the same cliches strewn about with maybe some attempts at being slightly innovative. While this doesn't break away too much from the plot formula, Crowe's powerhouse performance does and amplifies the overall film to enticing levels. He has clearly found his late career niche with thrillers/horrors of late and it works extremely well. The scares are serviceable and the story is as well. Visually it's one of the best possession films I've seen in quite sometime with fantastic settings and terrific practical and cgi features. This doesn't mean the cliches don't hinder it at times but overall a very welcome film for the genre.
