The Pope's Exorcist (15)

Father Gabriele Amorth investigates cases at the behest of the pontiff. In most instances, Amorth refers the afflicted to doctors and psychiatrists but in two per cent of cases, the exorcist believes he is in the presence of evil. The Pope asks Amorth to focus his attention on a young boy called Henry, who has supposedly been possessed by a demon. Local priest Father Esquibel supports Amorth and they uncover a far-reaching conspiracy that the Vatican has attempted to keep secret for centuries.

The Pope’s Exorcist (15) Film Review from LondonNet

Oscar winner Russell Crowe leads the cast of director Julius Avery’s supernatural horror thriller based on the books An Exorcist Tells His Story and An Exorcist: More Stories penned by Father Gabriele Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican. Written for the big screen by Michael Petroni and Evan Spiliotopoulos, The Pope’s Exorcist follows Amorth as he investigates cases at the behest of the pontiff (Franco Nero)…

In most instances, Amorth refers the afflicted to doctors and psychiatrists but in two per cent of cases, the exorcist believes he is in the presence of genuine darkness. The Pope asks Amorth to focus his attention on a young boy called Henry (Peter DeSouza-Feighoney), who has supposedly been possessed by a demon. Local priest Father Esquibel (Daniel Zovatto) is woefully unprepared to tackle this ancient evil so Amorth lends his years of experience and he inadvertently uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy that the Vatican has attempted to keep secret for centuries.
