According to Flixpatrol, almost six million people have viewed the first trailer for The Pope’s Exorcist.
In the film, Father Gabriele Amorth, chief exorcist for the Vatican, battles Satan and innocent-possessing demons. A detailed portrait of a priest who performed more than 100,000 exorcisms in his lifetime.
This supernatural horror movie is based on the book An Exorcist Tells His Story and An Exorcist: More Stories by Gabriele Amorth. The book is allegedly based on a true story.
The Pope’s Exorcist is directed by Julius Avery. The screenplay was written by Michael Petroni and Evan Spiliotopoulos. It stars Russell Crowe, Franco Nero, Alex Essoe, and the voice of Ralph Ineson.
