The Pope's Exorcist

The Pope's Exorcist (2023) is a supernatural horror thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Russell Crowe stars as Father Gabriele Amorth, the Vatican's chief exorcist, sent by the Pope to a crumbling Spanish abbey. An American family has just moved in, and their youngest son is behaving as if something else has taken hold of him.

What starts as one boy's possession turns out to be only the surface. The deeper Amorth digs into the monastery's past, the clearer it gets that the demon is tied to a secret the Church has locked away for centuries. The priest pushes back with prayer, stubbornness and a dry tongue — Crowe leans into the dark humor, which somehow makes the scares bite harder.

Director Julius Avery drew on the real journals of a priest who served the Vatican. Alongside Crowe are Daniel Zovatto, Alex Essoe and Franco Nero as the Pope. A grim pick for anyone who likes old-school exorcism with a gothic chill. Stream The Pope's Exorcist (2023) online on iFILM.
