Gabriele Amorth, the real-life title character from The Pope’s Exorcist, performed an astounding number of exorcisms throughout his career. The Pope’s Exorcist is one of the horror genre’s only biopics, telling the life story of the Pope’s personal exorcist, Amorth, played by Russell Crowe. The movie received mixed reviews from critics, but it was a big enough hit with audiences for Sony to start developing a sequel, with Crowe set to reprise his role as Amorth. Critics might not have been impressed, but moviegoers were fascinated by this mysterious real-life figure.
