SOURCE-Netflix Streaming
Saw the trailers for this film when it hit theaters and thought meh might watch it in a few years. Then heard some good reviews so changed that to OK will watch this when it hits streaming. Forgetting that now stuff hits streaming 5 weeks after theaters.
Russell Crowe is the Pope's Exorcist. He is sent to an old abby in Spain. Where a family has moved. They were trying to renovate the abby ,so they could sell it. The work crew ran off when one of them got burnt by a gas leak. Then the woman's son gets possessed.
Was expecting your standard Exorcist ripoff. But glossy and full of cheap CGI. Nope they gave us more than one twist. A good chunk of the FX work looks practical or at least a practical base with some CGI help on top that.
Really really surprised at how much I enjoyed this. Not as good as Song of Solomon. But for me better than the Exorcist. OR at least this entertained me more than any viewing of the Exorcist.
The Pope's Exorcist gets a B.
