The Pope’s Exorcist [DVD]

Product Information

Looking at the trailer, you might find the overarching tone of The Pope’s Exorcist similar to other exorcism classics like The Exorcist, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Rosemary’s Baby, and some more modern titles like The Conjuring or Prey for the Devil. However, The Pope’s Exorcist differs from these popular films in the genre in its narrative and the fact that the plot is derived from the real-life experiences of a priest who worked as an exorcist. So, while it is supernatural fiction on one hand, it’s also sort of a biographical story on the other. If you’re not one to head to theaters, you’ll want to know when you can watch it at home. That means knowing when it’s on DVD and Blu-ray. As it’s only just out in theaters, the DVD release date isn’t set just yet. We need to look at other movies from the same studio to get an idea as to how long it will take for this one to come out. In June 2022, Russell Crowe was cast as Amorth.

The Pope's Exorcist is a 2023 supernatural horror film directed by Julius Avery from a screenplay by Michael Petroni and Evan Spiliotopoulos, based on the 1990 book An Exorcist Tells His Story and the 1992 book An Exorcist: More Stories by Father Gabriele Amorth. [6] The film stars Russell Crowe as Amorth, with Daniel Zovatto, Alex Essoe, and Franco Nero in supporting roles.

The Pope assigns Amorth to visit a possessed boy named Henry in Spain. Henry, his mother Julia, and his rebellious teenage sister Amy had traveled from America to take possession of a mysterious old Spanish abbey, Julia's husband's sole bequest to his family after he died in a car accident where Henry was present. The traumatized Henry has not spoken since the accident. Following a sinister fire, workers who were restoring the abbey so the family could sell it, leave. Henry starts behaving bizarrely, and supernatural events unfold; serum chemistry panels and MRI show nothing abnormal. The church requires a thorough medical and psychiatric examination before a major exorcism can be implemented. Canon Law, the code of laws governing the church, dictates exorcisms can only be performed with “express permission” from the local ordinary, a church officer who can execute these laws. In April 2023, a sequel was announced to be in early development. Crowe is expected to reprise his role. [43] See also [ edit ]Asay, Paul (April 14, 2023). "The Pope's Exorcist". Plugged In.
