Did you like it SubZeroGirl? I also had high hope for it as I always enjoy Russell Crowe. I gave it a 7 out of 10. Some things were good and some things could have been done better. But his acting as always did not disappoint.Watching The Pope’s Exorcist. I have high hopes for this.

Did you ever watch the Chernobyl?You are most welcome. Just finished The Days on Netflix. It was a good retelling of the meltdown of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant during the tsunami that hit them in 2011. Such great acting in it, I was impressed.
It’s one of those things that you hear people talk about it, and then that show put everything in perspective and show how everything was fucked up.I did, I honestly can say I watch most things HBO puts out. As usual, they did not disappoint. Seeing how much those officials tried to bury and keep from the rest of the world was disheartening to say the least. I still remember the day it happened.
It truly did. Makes you wonder how much truth our own government knew here in the US? I am sure it was a great deal more than the media at the time showed. But seeing the series shed new light on the actual facts of the aftermath.It’s one of those things that you hear people talk about it, and then that show put everything in perspective and show how everything was fucked up.

I did like it and I would love a sequel. I didn’t find it particularly scary, it wasn’t the Exorcist level of horror.Did you like it SubZeroGirl?

Yeah I agree about the family. I had no connection to them at all other than finding the bratty teenage girl to be annoying, and anytime her scenes were on I just wanted to fast forward. That is a stereotype that is overdone in my opinion. (kind of the same for television dads all being idiots ) My biggest problem with the family storyline was.....who the hell inherits a damn church??? That was a bizarre plotline to me and since it started the movie, it was almost a too unbelievable to keep watching.I did like it and I would love a sequel.

****POSSIBLE SPOILERS****
The family wasn’t compelling at all. I felt nothing for the little boy and the daughter was portrayed as the problem child. The mom didn’t have a personality beyond being a mom. There was no reason for the dad to have died or the son to have stopped talking. I’m sure it was meant to give them some personality or a reason for the possession, but it was too shallow. I liked the priest. I didn’t like that he had a hidden sin, very cliche. I liked some of the horror elements a lot, like the suicide girl spitting up the red bird.
The ending is where I felt the most stress and tension because I was waiting for the horror movie trope of “you thought it was over, but here’s the twist.” Was he still possessed, was the other priest possessed or was the pope possessed? I waited until the very end to find out it really had ended when it seemed to. Russell Crowe was fantastic and believable. An enjoyable movie that I would recommend.
My favorite line was when the little boy yelled to bring him the priest, the priest on site walked in, was thrown out and he saidYeah I agree about the family.

I also really liked the other priest, it was good casting and his part was well written. His sinful plotline was added fluff to me and extraneous. It did not really add anything to it other than giving the demon something to fuck with him about. But his and Russell's acting were excellent and their chemistry throughout it was worth the watch.
The horror of it was mediocre at best which was fine as true horror movies mess with me long after I see them and I walked away from this one just fine. It was a nice twist that he took the possession unto himself to spare the family. That was an interesting twist from most exorcism movies. I did enjoy that the whole thing was a Vatican coverup, and then finding out at the end that this was a true story told from one of the priests' books. Finding out any of this stuff actually happened to someone is always an extra creepy factor. Kind of like The Conuring and Annabelle, true stories from the Warrens.
That was one of the best lines of the movie. Also laughed at it.My favorite line was when the little boy yelled to bring him the priest, the priest on site walked in, was thrown out and he said
“Wrong fucking priest”
I laughed at that line.
I love The Conjuring universe, but I don’t believe in ghosts.
