I wasn't really too sure what to expect from this movie. I wouldn't say I'm generally a fan of movies with Russell Crowe in them, but I did enjoy this movie.
It's a good take on the whole demon possession theme, with some homage to the original Exorcist film. The story centres around a family that moves to an old Abbey they've inherited from their deceased husband/father. While renovations are going on, an old kl buried secret is revealed. The young boy gets possessed and it's up to the popes exorcist (Russell Crowe) to help the boy and banish the demon.
Along the way, the exorcist reveals the reason behind the demonic possession and the dark history of the former Abbey.
Maybe not as scary as the original but there's some good special effects, a little bit of humour added in with a few jump scares. If you can get over having to read a lot of subtitles, it's not a bad movie.
