You know how it goes –you wait years for an exorcist film starring Russell Crowe, and then two come along at once… The Exorcism is not to be confused with 2023’s The Pope’s Exorcist, however. This time, Crowe actually plays an actor playing a priest, and we’re spared his Italian accent. Otherwise, familiar genre conventions are intact, in a meta kind of way.
Anthony Miller (Crowe) is a troubled star who is hoping to stage a comeback in an equally troubled supernatural horror. His predecessor met an untimely end, and rumor has it the production is cursed. Cue strange events and behavior, not least from Miller himself.
