The Exorcism (2024)

Russel Crowe in another exorcism role, this close after the former?

I wonder if he secretly aspires to be a religious figure for real, or is, or is suddenly just seriously sought after when it comes to roles like this...

He's great, always, but this movie... was great! I don't get why critics bash it so. I was prepared for worse. The girls may not be the best actors too much. Standing beside Russel they seem... inferior, but they weren't bad! The way that the movie takes place on an actual set somehow makes it all the more chilling. Like they break the fourth wall in regard to what's real and no. You're on the set. You see this through a movie. It's very meta. I like seeing the technicalities of the sets, too, though of course they just show what they want you to see, so it's all so much more impressive than it really is. If that makes sense?

It may be trife with jump scares, but it was way more than the regular exorcism movie this one. With a very double-edged take on the topic of religion. On the one hand it's the requirement for victory after all, on the other it doesn't paint it in the best light as it does... does it redeem itself? The fact that a priest plays the demon is... interesting.

It's all an act in one way or another. It's all a set. Nobody's who they seem to be. Everybody plays a role. Everybody's something different. The effects are simple, but they work well that way too. The complexities lie elsewhere. They layer. They build slow.

Whatever the critics may say, I actually... really liked this movie.
