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.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.
