A good movie

Finally, I am sick to death of horror movies that solely rely on jump scares to call it a horror, this story had a bit of weight to it and I was happy overall.

So it's your average story, the chief exorcist is sent to do an exorcism, what changes this movie is that it has a nice to to the Vatican and the church dating way back and many hidden secrets.

Russel Crowe was fantastic, having an actor that can bring a certain charm to a role like this is definitely drawing.

The "scenes" were all good and it took a route I wasn't expecting. The CG was good along worth an effective score and good prosthetics. The supporting cast were good and i especially enjoyed father Thomas.

There were some times that felt a little unnecessary BUT the good outweighs the bad in this one and I can honestly see a sequel if it does well. I'd recommend going out to see it in cinema !
