Just another exorcist film. The fact that it is based on a rather colorful character (Gabriele Amorth - he actually existed and wrote some books on his profession) is a nice bonus, but it doesn't really change all that much. All the clichés are present, and having someone like Russell Crowe in the lead just adds to the cheese. The film benefits from a decent budget and a cool location. The finale is pretty spectacular and Crowe had a lot of fun playing Amorth, but the film neglects to be scary, gory, or horrific in any other sense. It's a defect many exorcism films are facing and one The Pope's Exorcist fails to overcome. Decent horror fodder, but nothing more.Read all
A decent attempt to do Wolfenstein: The Movie. Sadly there's a bit too much war stuff going on and the horror bits aren't all that impressive. Avery does his best to keep it interesting, it just gets a little dull after a while. Frankenstein's Army this isn't, though there is some fun to be had if you persist and ignore the rest.
