Movie Review: The Pope’s Exorcist (2023)
Russell Crowe, best known for his role in Ridley Scott’s brilliant 2000 film Gladiator, stars as Father Gabriele Amorth in 2023’s possession horror, The Pope’s Exorcist, currently available on Digital and VOD. Directed by Julius Avery, the film sees Father Amorth, the Vatican’s leading exorcist, as he investigates the possession of a child, leading to him uncovering a conspiracy the Vatican has tried to keep secret for centuries. Crowe and all the cast did well in their roles, making the characters feel believable and making it easy to connect with them. I was very impressed with the young actor Peter DeSouza-Feighoney who played the part of the possessed boy, Henry, a role that was both dark and very physical. At just 12, he nailed it. Crowe’s character’s witty banter adds a bit of comic relief to the intense scenes, which I can’t decide is a good thing or if it is a distraction. The cast also includes Franco Nero, Ralph

Amazing Horror Series You Might Have Missed (Part II)
Penny Dreadful (2014-2016) I can’t express how disappointed I was when the series that explores classic monsters came to an end. Incredibly well-written with outstanding performances.
