Now this is one horror show that when I first saw the trailer I knew that I was going to watch it.
It's kinda like how you just see a bag on the store and know you must have it.
That's the same way I felt when I saw it's trailer, although due to my rather busy schedule and not wanting to watch it on cinema or Netflix I had to wait a few months to watch it before others.
I guess all I can say is that my patience paid off!!
The Pope's Exorcist
Plot
Father Gabrielle Amorth, an enthusiastic out of the book exorcist gets a rather peculiar case from Spain.
The Vasquez family has inherited the San Sebastian Abbey in Castile and with it got a very powerful demon.
This demon possesses the youngest of the Vasquez family and asks in particular for the priest Gabrielle.
Now Gabrielle walks into a fight with pure evil, would his jokes and humor be able to help him this time, or would the devil finally succeed?
This movie brought plenty emotions to me; fear, laughter, shock, curiosity, excitement, I was literally switching from emotion to emotion, from face to face with every scene. It was truly electrifying.
What I liked.
- The New Feel
Now this wasn't like any type of horror movie I had ever watched.
Fear Street, Chucky, The Conjuring chronicles all had the same vibe, the same tempo, but this was entirely new.
Everything was different, from the way Priest Gabrielle handled his cases to even the way the demons spoke.
This new horror feel greatly influenced enjoyment factor in the film.
- The Comedy
I know what some are thinking.
Comedy in horror?
But that's just it. It was unheard of to see a priest crack so many jokes.
His snide remarks and questions to the demons always made me smile inside and sometimes laugh outloud.
It was pure definition of a badass exorcist in action. Not afraid of anything, he drives on annoying the devil till he leaves.
- The Mysterious Plot Twist.
It's uncommon for a horror film to have a plot twist. Although there are some in which you'll just see it coming, this movies own was more or less unexpected.
The king of hell proved way more powerful than normal and even me had to sit down thinking of what he wanted from Henry.
In the end when everything was brought to light, it won't be just the horror that shocks you anymore, you'll just be amazed.
- The Touch of Reality
Now there's nothing I love most in a film than to see;
....and that just what happened.
Although the plot of course did have some touches of fiction.
Father Gabrielle Amorth, the chief Exorcist of the Vatican did exist, and the files say he was just as fearless and as witty as the movie portrays him to be.
It's nice to know that this movie was sort of a tribute for him and indeed he needs it, having conducted over 50,000 exorcisms, I feel by now you need a series on your head.
Overall Review
Now like I had implied, this wasn't your regular horror movie.
To be honest, it wasn't even particularly scary, but the sense of adventure and mystery makes up for the lacking in fear.
Nevertheless, this has to be one of the best horror movies I have ever watched.
It's R-rated though, cause although it isn't particularly scary, there is still some shocking scenes, lots of blood, a whole drum full of crude language and obscenities spouted by the devil, and some nudity.
Hence it's not for the little one's 馃檪
Although all these were implemented to the minimum and did help the movie flow well.
I rank this show as a 9/10 and it's a must watch for anyone possibly later than me in watching it 馃槀.
ESPANOL
Este es un programa de terror que cuando vi el avance por primera vez supe que lo iba a ver.
Es como cuando ves una bolsa en la tienda y sabes que debes tenerla.
Lo mismo sent铆 cuando vi su tr谩iler, aunque debido a mi agenda bastante ocupada y al no querer verlo en cine o Netflix tuve que esperar unos meses para verlo antes que los dem谩s.
隆Supongo que todo lo que puedo decir es que mi paciencia vali贸 la pena!
El exorcista del Papa
Trama
El padre Gabrielle Amorth, un exorcista entusiasta de los libros, recibe de Espa帽a un caso bastante peculiar.
La familia V谩squez hered贸 la Abad铆a de San Sebasti谩n en Castilla y con ella un demonio muy poderoso.
Este demonio posee al m谩s joven de la familia V谩squez y pregunta en particular por el sacerdote Gabrielle.
Ahora Gabrielle entra en una pelea con pura maldad, 驴podr铆an sus bromas y humor ayudarlo esta vez, o el diablo finalmente lo lograr谩?
Esta pel铆cula me trajo muchas emociones; Miedo, risa, conmoci贸n, curiosidad, emoci贸n, literalmente estaba cambiando de emoci贸n en emoci贸n, de cara a cara en cada escena. Fue realmente electrizante.
Lo que me gust贸.
- La nueva sensaci贸n
Ahora bien, esto no se parec铆a a ning煤n tipo de pel铆cula de terror que hubiera visto jam谩s.
Las cr贸nicas de Fear Street, Chucky y The Conjuring ten铆an la misma vibra, el mismo ritmo, pero esto era completamente nuevo.
Todo era diferente, desde la forma en que el sacerdote Gabrielle manejaba sus casos hasta la forma en que hablaban los demonios.
Esta nueva sensaci贸n de terror influy贸 mucho en el factor de disfrute de la pel铆cula.
- La comedia
S茅 lo que algunos est谩n pensando.
驴Comedia de terror?
Pero eso es todo. Era inaudito ver a un sacerdote hacer tantos chistes.
Sus comentarios sarc谩sticos y preguntas a los demonios siempre me hac铆an sonre铆r por dentro y, a veces, re铆r a carcajadas.
Era pura definici贸n de un exorcista rudo en acci贸n. Sin miedo a nada, sigue molestando al diablo hasta que se marcha.
- El misterioso giro de la trama.
Es poco com煤n que una pel铆cula de terror tenga un giro argumental. Aunque hay algunas en las que simplemente lo ver谩s venir, esta pel铆cula fue m谩s o menos inesperada.
El rey del infierno demostr贸 ser mucho m谩s poderoso de lo normal e incluso yo tuve que sentarme a pensar en lo que quer铆a de Henry.
Al final, cuando todo salga a la luz, ya no ser谩 s贸lo el horror lo que te sorprender谩, sino que simplemente te sorprender谩s.
- El toque de la realidad
Ahora bien, no hay nada que m谩s me guste en una pel铆cula que ver;
....y eso fue exactamente lo que pas贸.
Aunque la trama por supuesto s铆 ten铆a algunos toques de ficci贸n.
El padre Gabrielle Amorth, el principal exorcista del Vaticano, existi贸, y los archivos dicen que era tan valiente e ingenioso como lo retrata la pel铆cula.
Es bueno saber que esta pel铆cula fue una especie de homenaje para 茅l y, de hecho, lo necesita, despu茅s de haber realizado m谩s de 50.000 exorcismos, siento que ahora necesitas una serie sobre tu cabeza.
Revisi贸n general
Ahora bien, como hab铆a insinuado, esta no era una pel铆cula de terror normal.
Para ser honesto, ni siquiera fue particularmente aterrador, pero la sensaci贸n de aventura y misterio compensa la falta de miedo.
Sin embargo, esta tiene que ser una de las mejores pel铆culas de terror que he visto en mi vida.
Sin embargo, tiene clasificaci贸n R, porque aunque no da mucho miedo, todav铆a hay algunas escenas impactantes, mucha sangre, un tambor lleno de lenguaje crudo y obscenidades dichas por el diablo, y algo de desnudez.
Por lo tanto no es para los m谩s peque帽os 馃檪
Aunque todo esto se implement贸 al m铆nimo y ayud贸 a que la pel铆cula fluyera bien.
Califico este programa con un 9/10 y es algo que debe ver cualquiera que posiblemente lo vea m谩s tarde que yo 馃槀.
