The film, of course, is mystical, but it is based on the biography of a real-life character who said that he had performed more than one hundred thousand exorcisms in his life. In fact, he called "exorcism" any help he provided himself, even if he simply exposed the pretender in a minute of conversation. Russell Crowe portrayed a priest in a somewhat boorish and ironic manner, not a fool to drink, who loves jokes, because laughter is repugnant to demons. It turned out just fine. And the story itself kicks the Catholic Church a little bit like that, which the filmmakers used to allow themselves, if at all, then it was heavily veiled. And now it's more dangerous to offend a gay radical or a trance than religion. Yes, Islamists are still being clung to like lightning, but Christianity is already being mocked with might and main. And this is a global trend. Well, let it be. The film was shot with good special effects, with an interesting story, and as for the reality of the character, that's fine, the movie is still artistic and very good. I recommend.

It's hard to classify this movie as a horror. The final battle of the beaver with the donkey reminded Sailor Moon, bringing retribution in the name of the moon. Is there anything better in such a subject than Konstantin?

We looked at houses, expecting nothing, bought into Russell Crowe. Well, it's not exactly horror, but it's still an interesting movie for once, especially if you think about what's based on real characters, then it's funny (to the point of horror) what kind of characters surround you in real life.

I watched the movie because I bought into the good rating of Kinopoisk. Well, it would be better to spend this time on something else. The film turned out to be not bad, but not good either. Just nothing at all, alas.

As a connoisseur of this genre, I note that the film turned out to be very good, and if we discard the partial cliché of the storyline, then for me it clearly surpassed "The Rite", "The Curse of the Nun" and "The Exorcist: The Beginning", with which there is a similarity of plot twists and even some locations. Russell Crowe in the role of the main exorcist of the Vatican looks quite presentable and to some extent erases the Catholic cliché (comparing with the exorcist of the film "Deliver us from Evil"), and the boy possessed by another powerful demon looks just perfect. We were also pleased with the new elements of the exorcism rite, such as the seal of the demon's presence, which Crowe used in front of the possessed person's eyes. The film also fairly honestly addresses the problems of the Vatican and its atheist careerists, which is also good news. The exorcism scenes look enchanting and in some manifestations go beyond the established framework of all similar films. The dialogues, though mediocre, convey the basis of this genre well and touch upon many elements of faith, disbelief, lies, sin and repentance. The denouement was a little disappointing, as for me there was not enough sharpness of horror and screamer, as in "The Curse of the Nun" or "The Curse 2". In general, I recommend it to all connoisseurs of the genre, and to those who are far from it, I recommend comedies and or others like them.

The most normal movie. There's nothing more to say. We shot normally, played normally, and finished normally. Everything. A waste of time ? No. Did you like it ? Not either. Can I pass by? You can. And you can see it, it won't get any worse :)

The only thing that's really good here is Crowe. It's like he's been getting old all his life and dressing up , so that now it's so organic to fly into a cassock with two legs and look stupidly canonical and appropriate :)
And, if you think about it, then in general, even a small one played its role well, as it seems to me. Yes, and my sister was quite convincing in the frame. Which is also a plus .

@FRFD: Yes, I agree, Crowe played well and looked good on the screen and appropriate, but everything else... I watched the movie 4 days ago and now I remember only in general strokes what was there. An ordinary one-time pass, no more than that. Maybe for fans of films of this subject or an actor will come in.

@desdemona: It seems to me that the film can be just right with its average quality :) well, in the sense that its task could be done just normally, collect a moderate cash register , get moderate positive reviews and as if that's all:)
It's just that somehow you watch some movie and the impression is created that here they tried, here they tried straight (but it didn't work out very well) , here they got stuck on something bigger, and here it would have been even frankly cool, but the budget was not enough .

In this case, after viewing, it seems that the film simply did not strain to give out the norm..like everything, guys, Hare, worked out lava :)
It does not seem that somewhere they did not catch up , somewhere there was still potential , and somewhere they even set it for the future . Formally, they certainly said that there are almost two hundred more potential exorcisms , but it doesn't look like it's just a cast of fishing rods for the future.

@FRFD: Yes, there is a chance that this is why the film was shot in this way, and it's not worth looking for a great meaning or a Golden Globe award-level game here, when initially it just wasn't laid down.
Plus, it's worth remembering that the film tells about a real-life person and you can always assume that it was filmed as a tribute to the memory of this person. In this case, all questions are generally unnecessary.

I really hope that we will not have to take into account any Astral figures with this film and there will not be 100,500 parts, do not understand what's next. Otherwise, it will really be possible to rebel and ask questions about laundering lava at these jobs.

@desdemona: With everything in one way or another solidary, except for part of the comment about the Astral =\
This franchise has only five parts in thirteen years. Of these , the first two parts are just very good (purely my subjective opinion), the second two parts are just normal . The fifth , judging by the trailer, will be a direct continuation of the first two parts, which is as pleasing and hopeful as possible.
For me, there would be more such strong films as the first two parts of the astral plane . Yes , and the third and fourth are just average, but I would not say that they are already bad.

P.S. An important remark . The Astral franchise has five films: Astral (2010), Astral. Part 2 (2013), Astral. Part 3 (2015). Astral The Last Key (2018), Astral Red Doors (2023). Everything that is not these films is a sick imagination of all sorts of marketers from the exhibition (or who comes up with names for rental , there are several offices there) . All sorts of Astral brats.The saga.Anabolics and so on))) these films have nothing to do with the franchise .

@FRFD: As they say: "never offer to teach fish to swim", I am a fan of horror movies and all the Astrals watched. :)))
This was rather an example for a red word, since objectively 3 and 4 parts were sucked against the background of 1 and 2. And if the first two parts can be called good, then it turns out that 3 and 4 are well normal. And if this trend is transferred to the film "The Exorcist of the Vatican", which, as it were, initially goes in the status of "well, norm", then therefore, what would be the status of "hospice" for what?". And that's what we can't do for nothing and we can't do it with money.

The PS section just killed me and brought me back to Vietnam :DDD Because I was standing in the cinema just today and smothered on the poster of the movie Astral. Family ceremony". Which, of course, is not an Astral pancake, but in the original just a Family Dinner. Hands and heads would be torn off by these adaptologists of names, by God. You can also lure people to the movie with other things, except for ringing names.

"Astral Fraternity.The saga.Anabolics is probably some kind of amazing new franchise with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson :DDD where everyone will be coursing, and then they will have arrivals :)))

@desdemona: Ah understood, in the know for Astrals ☺️
I just what this remark decided to do ISO for me it was always clear and obvious that Astral is several times smaller than naadaptirovali and iskoverkali for cinemas, but literally last month with surprise discovered that it turns out that there are people who really thought that the Astral has so many parts (how many films there so adapted , probably about twenty pieces exactly ahaha or I myself pieces I probably watched five of them, well, except for the real four parts) . Just somehow caught the conversation for the fact that for nothing from the ASTRAL 1 and 2 made then a wild stream of movies, which in an hour for two or even three came out . It turned out that people thought that this was all part of one franchise )))

@FRFD: yes, this is a purely common mistake, which is often pursued in horror films, unfortunately :((All more or less large horror franchises have already gone through this: The Curse, Astral, Paranormal phenomenon, Sinister, etc.
Because most viewers go to the cinema with a familiar name, and the names of franchises are always heard.

Yes, my God, there's no hiding it, I myself just a couple of weeks ago also fell for the name Sinister.The beginning" and I watched this miracle of cinema really thinking that it was a prequel out. I spat for a fucking long time from the performance that was performed there! And then I burned myself out even longer that I hadn't read the information about the film in advance and was waiting for something from a film that had nothing to do with the franchise at all))

@desdemona: ahaha yes, there is such a case )))
I remember so once a long time ago burned, when imperceptibly (and in general out of ignorance) looked at such hits as World Wars 2 and Transmorfers 2 ))) I could not understand everything then, well , how after such first parts, did such second parts come out ?! Ahhh .
I found out about mokbasters later :)
Only there at least mockbasters are real films that parasitize more successful films . And in the case of all sorts of sworn Bratva, Astral saga.Anabolics.Part1-this is a purely flight of imagination of the PR department of distributors , where they also parasitize on successful films, but just put the name of other films on the cover )) by the way, and sometimes the cover itself is redone ahahah . Well, so long ago there was some movie and there the word alien was added to the title , but им it didn't seem enough and they also added Someone Else (from the movie Alien) aahahahahahahaha )))

@FRFD: Oh, yes, with the redesigned covers, this is generally a situation... as they say, there are no words, but a storm of emotions))))
Actually, the Sinister prequel (like the ahaha prequel) also worked out, the Westerners there made the cover very very very similar to the first one from the original, and ours attributed the name and it all flew out. And then the chic sparkle in the pop crackle and the rating of the film is below 4 out of 10))))

About mockbusters, of course, this is always a controversial topic.. in my opinion, they have a place to be, but please let them be at least normal, and not understand how they were made on your knee.
About the War of the Worlds, just don't let me start ahahah Every time after the film adaptation of the book, the screenwriters try to come up with the following parts from themselves, they get into a puddle very strongly and well)) why do this, it's not clear, of course, but there are 5 pieces per year as standard)))

Alas, no, fans of the genre did not get it. I was even a little surprised that Russell starred in it. But although, maybe after the writers' strike everything is so sad there, I don't know..

I can't say that I'm thrilled, on the other hand, I can't say that it's bad. Normal.
When I watched all the films in this subject, you can have a good evening, if not yet, put it aside and watch better "The Exorcist"))

A disgusting movie that annoys literally everyone. The script, it seems that they tried to cut it according to the patterns of other successful films, but they got sucked (with a leg sewn to the ear). Not even Frankenstein's Monster.)) And also in the film there are infuriating cardboard characters, disgusting acting and a muddy picture. And a scary boy. But what struck me most was that the authors are counting on a sequel, and they are trying to mold the hero of the action franchise from Tolstoy and old Russell Crowe. What for?

I see the word "exorcist" in the title/description - I put it in the queue for viewing ✨
Not the worst movie of the others in this subject. The shooting is ok, the picture is ok, the story is +/- revealed.
In my opinion, there are several moments of overkill (rubber stretched mouths, a bloody explosion of the body), but it will go for a one-time evening viewing) I will also be waiting for the sequel ✨

I really liked Russell Crowe as the Padre 🤤😍 And even though he doesn't look like the original one at all
Gabriel Amorta looked amazing and appropriate in the frames of this film. I assign an extra point for the red socks 😁✨

Overall, the film is decent, especially the beginning, I did not regret that I did not buy the negative reviews and decided to watch it myself, but the final battle slightly let me down.
