The Pope’s Exorcist surprised the hell out of me, which in fact is exactly where Father Amorth (Russell Crowe) was trying to avoid going. The question of the day is did he conquer the demon or did he choke under pressure and lose his soul to the Devil?
After fourteen years of watching practically all of the horror movies that Hollywood gives us, I’ve become jaded. Honestly, almost fifty years of watching due to my love of everything strange and eerie. They seem to all follow the same pattern with their typical outcomes that are so easily deduced within the first twenty minutes. The Pope’s Exorcist avoided all the cliché moments and dug deep down to show us how it’s supposed to be done.

Russell Crowe was outstanding. His actions, humor, seriousness, and pure faith were downright amazing. This was a serious movie but it felt like he was having fun with it. It’s always refreshing to see and sense that in a movie.
I also want to mention the effects. They did a spectacular job too. The way that they transformed Henry (Peter DeSouza-Feghoney) was spooky, creepy, and perfect. He gave me the chills a few times.
All in all, I loved this movie. This might be a tiny spoiler but I’m excited to see if they make a sequel. They set it up perfectly to have an astonishing 199 hellish returns. You’ll understand later.

What people are saying about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
