The Pope's Exorcist Review
‘The Pope’s Exorcist’ blends true-life terror with schlocky horror. Russell Crowe plays a real-life exorcist who faces down a tough demonic challenge, but the movie wastes a compelling figure.
In theaters on April 14th, ‘The Pope’s Exorcist’, directed by Julius Avery, tries to turn a captivating true-life person into a homily-spouting, all-action priest who chuckles in the face of demonic possession. The result is a mess of a movie that is only haltingly entertaining. You’d honestly be better off throwing on William Friedkin’s 1973 iconic ‘The Exorcist’.
