The Pope’s Exorcist Movie Review

admin — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 16:18:13 +0000

With way more humour than the trailer would lead you to believe, The Pope’s Exorcist works on a few different levels. Russell Crowe gets to camp it up as Father Gabriel Amorth a Vespa-riding iconoclast who loves to stick it to his strait-laced superiors.

Those laughs are often countered by the intensity of the possession scenes. They are more than reminiscent of that granddaddy of the genre, The Exorcist. Those moments are delightfully over the top and build to a bat-shit-crazy crescendo by the film’s end.

When Julia (Alex Essoe), Amy (Laurel Marsden) and Henry (Peter DeSouza-Feighoney) first roll up to the creepy castle-like structure in the middle of nowhere, it’s not long before things go bump in the night. As the possession escalates so does the gore.

As an exercise in exorcism, the film breaks very little new ground but it seems that is not really the point. It puts entertainment before all-out horror and gives it the chance to break out of the limited appeal of the devil-made me-do-it category. It will happily provide something bad to do this Good Friday.

After best friends Kate, Liz, Cassie and Anna finished university, they didn’t have a care in the world. With their whole lives ahead of them, they decided to pack their bags and head off Interrailing around Europe for a month. Their final destination was the Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma on Mallorca, where they missed the dazzling ‘Festival of Light’. When the trip was over, they promised that one day that would repeat the special journey again. But life got in the way.

Now the quartet has become a trio with the death of Anna. As a parting gift, Anna leaves her friends tickets to repeat the journey, but on one condition – Kate (Jenny Seagrove), Liz (Sally Phillips) and Cassie (Kelly Preston) must bring Anna’s 17 year-old daughter Maddie (Elizabeth Dormer-Phillips) with them. Agreeing to take Maddie with them they realise they have only five days to reach their destination of Mallorca, so they don’t miss ‘God’s Disco Ball’ – The Fiesta de la Candelaria – which occurs once a year.

This time around they find travelling across Europe much more difficult, as lost passports, train strikes, and unexpected romantic entanglements throw their friendships into chaos. The question is: will they make it in time and honour their friend’s memory?

OFF THE RAILS is directed by Jules Williamson and stars Kelly Preston, Jenny Seagrove, Sally Phillips with Ben Miller and Franco Nero.

OFF THE RAILS coming to Australian cinemas on December 2nd 2021!
