The Exorcism 2024

The 2024 supernatural horror film The Exorcism, directed by Joshua John Miller, centers on Anthony Miller (Russell Crowe), a troubled actor and recovering alcoholic who takes the lead role of a priest in a horror film remake that mirrors The Exorcist. The plot sees Anthony's mental and physical state quickly deteriorate, leading his estranged teenage daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), to question if he is relapsing into his past addictions or if a more sinister, demonic possession is at play, as the movie set is rumored to be cursed. Lee, working as his personal assistant, must confront her own trauma and loss following her mother's death while trying to save her father, ultimately enlisting the help of the film's religious consultant, Father Conor (David Hyde Pierce), and the young star playing the possessed girl, Blake Holloway (Chloe Bailey). The climax sees Lee and the others attempt an exorcism on the fully possessed Anthony on the film set, with Lee finding the strength to save her father by appealing to his genuine self and performing the rite with him against the demon Molech, which has drawn on Anthony's past traumas, including childhood abuse and neglect of his dying wife. The primary cast features Russell Crowe as Anthony Miller, Ryan Simpkins as Lee Miller, Sam Worthington as Joe, Chloe Bailey as Blake Holloway, Adam Goldberg as the demanding director Peter, and David Hyde Pierce as Father Conor. Upon its release by Vertical on June 21, 2024, the film received generally negative reviews from critics, who cited its reliance on clichés despite the meta-textual setup, resulting in a Rotten Tomatoes score of 28% and a Metacritic score of 46/100. The box office performance was modest, with the film grossing approximately $12.6 million worldwide against a domestic opening of $2.5 million.The film began its streaming life shortly after its theatrical run, becoming available on digital platforms on July 9, 2024, and is currently available to stream on services like AMC+ and Shudder, and is also available for rent or purchase on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
