Review: Russell Crowe's "The Exorcism" tortures him and the audience.
Review of The Exorcism: Played by Ryan Simpkins and starring Russell Crowe, the picture veers through dark hallways, turns, and locked chambers before, at last, wearing us out.
Unfortunate incidents have been documented diligently on the sets of horror movies. Russell Crowe is among the worst? Who would have guessed? The Australian actor reappears in a cassock and collar a little over a year after playing The Pope's Exorcist, subjecting us and himself to even more pain.
This time, however, it's not the hotshot demon slayer in chief of the Vatican—rather, it's a down-and-out actor named Anthony Miller, whose career has just spiraled downward due to alcoholism, drug abuse, and rehab—caused by the gradual death of his wife from cancer. As she lay there near death, writhing in her own bodily fluids, he deserted her and their daughter.
