, the horror movie Russell Crowe shot in Ireland, has hit the web.In the film, the Gladiator Oscar-winner plays Father Gabriele Amorth, who was an Italian Catholic priest and served as the Chief Exorcist of the Vatican.Before his death in 2016, he claimed to have performed tens of thousands of exorcisms throughout his life and was the subject of a 2017 documentary by William Friedkin, who also directed The Exorcist.
