Back in exorcism mode, Russell Crowe plays an actor playing an exorcist who can’t shake his demons
There’s a killer premise and some good acting buried inside The Exorcism . Based, in part, on the urban legends and real-life tragedies surrounding the production of The Exorcist , the film boasts an eye-witness source.
Providing quiet comfort on set are Lee’s love interest and the film’s possessed little girl, Blake , Tony’s co-star Joe , and Father Connor , the in-universe Catholic advisor. Miller knows what he’s doing here, and the movie works best when it’s gently mixing some of Friedkin’s flourishes with his own. Tony’s possession mirrors Reagan’s, making The Exorcism, in some ways, a meta remake itself. The slow zooms, crossfades, and jump cuts Miller employs all evoke the ‘70s horror aesthetic.
