Russell Crowe is in another exorcism film - but he made this one before the other! - in a film about the making of a cursed film... which itself has had a cursed production, and shows.

Sorry for the spotty uploads of late, hope this video makes up for that somewhat. This is the first full video to feature the new lens I bought recently, and I think there is a big improvement. If you've been distracted the background pulsing in some of my videos (focus breathing), that appears to have been almost totally eliminated.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

No worries. It's always a delight to see an upload from you.

[@jameslangley2196]

Been watching you for years, whatever you put in is good.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

Is this the start of an annual 'Russell Crowe in an exorcism' film tradition? Seriously, I'd love him to do something like 'The nice guys' again.

[@r.a.r.1981]

What is it with Russell Crowe and exorcism movies?
Anyway, thanks for the new Projector review. I'm having a rough time, and it's like a reward after a hard day. Makes me feel just a tiny bit better.

[@andrecarpenter2432]

Hope you have an easier time soon. Have a good day

It's interesting how you mentioned that they're essentially remaking The Exorcist, and there's the angle of showing the film from the perspective of someone who has a parent in the public eye. The director of this film, Joshua John Miller, is the son of Jason Miller, who played Father Damien Karras in the original Exorcist (and sorta reprised the role in the third film). Miller Sr. had sort of a mixed film career after his turn in the original Exorcist, sticking more to theatre work before his death from a heart attack at age 62. Part of me wonders if Miller Jr. drew some inspiration from his own life in this movie.

I've never hated a title change for a movie so much before

[@otaking3582]

"The Exorcism" sounds like a mockbuster title.

[@TheNinjaMarmot]

I thought this was a sequel to the Pope's Exorcist. LoL

[@lavaughntowell7757]

The original premiise seemed promising, especially as the director is the son of Jason Miller from the original movie, and the addiction elements and estranged relationship were true aspects of that premise. Adding the production issues on the original movie, the supposed "curse," and it could have been a way to tell a personal story while being an allegory for how difficult filmmaking really is. I don't iknow but I'm hoping just like with The Snowman, the director ironically had studio interference affect his production and that he couldn't do everything he wanted and was not granted time and money enough to fix it on his own, leading to this mess.

[@masterseal0418]

Talk about wasted potential!

[@sephirothii13]

I enjoyed this review as I have for years. Thank you for doing it as always it is informing and entertaining

[@OvercookedOctopusFeet]

I actually thought these two Crowe films were the same film just titled slightly differently for different regions/countries. Absolutely terrible idea to market them so similarly in style and release, just my opinion 🤷

[@jamesatkinsonja]

Given 'The Pope's Exorcist' made $77 million on a $18 million budget, I actually don't blame the filmmakers to 'piggy back' off it to get a similar audience [maybe making people think this is a follow up], especially given the troubled production on the film even if that's hardly honest.

[@naplockblubba5369]

I saw a thumbnail for a video reviewing this movie recently and I genuinely thought it was about the original because it's literally one letter off

[@Joecbg100]

The most interesting part is finding out that not only is the director a relative of the actor Jason Miller of The Exorcist but he also is the vampire child from Near Dark and a half brother of Jason Petric, from Lost Boys

[@jasonwheeler826]

Coming next from Russell Crowe: "The Pope's Exorcist's Exorcist".

[@vendelbo90210]

I was sure that "The Exorcism" and "The Pope´s excorcist" was the same movie, up until I watched this video.... damn

[@trevingrayek1671]

Can confirm Final Girls is pretty decent. Shame this doesn’t have the same quality

[@ESPIRITUS_A]

jesus christ you're still alive

[@carsonpeterson758]

Do you like the Michael bay films the island and 13 hours and transformers 2007.

[@user-ko3ld4mw1d]

Im glad you embraced your Baldness unlike James Rolfe.

[@masterseal0418]

I hope we'd get the return of Bad Movie Breakdown. Loved that series a lot!
