"The Pope's Exorcist" franchise gains momentum with Russell Crowe's lead role.

The Pope's Exorcist, starring Russell Crowe as an Italian exorcist who reports directly to the pope, is a well-made horror movie that knows how silly it should be. The film's clever world-building and playful nods to The Exorcist franchise make it stand out in the stale exorcism genre. Director Julius Avery's creative shots and setups, along with Crowe's hammy Italian accent, add to the fun. The movie ends with a tease for sequels, and the author hopes that each of the 199 exorcisms left for Father Amorth to perform gets its own film.

Vatican Exorcists Slam Russell Crowe's "The Pope's Exorcist" as "Unreliable Splatter"

The International Association of Exorcists (IAE), founded by Father Gabriele Amorth, has condemned Russell Crowe's latest film, The Pope's Exorcist, as "unreliable... splatter cinema". The IAE claims that the film's plot, which involves a Vatican conspiracy, poses "unacceptable doubt" as to who "the real enemy is, the devil or ecclesiastical power". The group stipulated that its statement was made in response to the trailer and that it would be commenting further once the full feature was released globally on Good Friday (7 April).
