Directed by Julius Avery(Overlord), The Vatican Exorcist is a blend of horror, fantasy and biopic, inspired by the life of the real-life Father Gabriele Amorth, the Vatican's official exorcist.
The story follows Father Amorth, played by Russell Crowe, as he is sent to investigate the case of a possessed young boy. What begins as a classic exorcism takes an unexpected turn when the priest uncovers a centuries-old conspiracy that the Church has been trying to erase from history.
Between demonic manifestations, occult investigations and confrontations with the forces of evil, the film offers a heavy, eerie atmosphere, where the main character's faith is put to the test. Daniel Zovatto and Alex Essoe complete the cast of this horrific thriller inspired by true events.
The Vatican Exorcist will air on Netflix from March 10, 2025 and is already available on Prime Video.
Synopsis: Based on the true archives of Father Gabriele Amorth, the Vatican's chief exorcist. Father Gabriele Amorth investigates the terrifying discovery of a possessed young boy. His investigations lead him to uncover a centuries-old conspiracy that the Vatican has desperately tried to keep forgotten.
The Vatican Exorcist is aimed above all at fans of exorcism films and horrific thrillers, in the tradition of William Friedkin's The Exorcist, James Wan 's Conjuring and The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
The film promises a dark and eerie atmosphere, combining scenes of demonic possession, religious rituals and a historical quest into the secrets of the Vatican. Russell Crowe, accustomed to roles as authoritative figures, plays a priest fighting evil forces with charisma and intensity.
On the other hand, those looking for more psychological or subtle horror may find the film more focused on action and shock effects, with a sometimes spectacular approach to the theme of exorcism.
With Russell Crowe in an intense role, The Vatican Exorcist promises an immersive and terrifying experience, blending demonic possession and Vatican mysteries. An ideal film for fans of supernatural tales.
