Character Arcs: Moving from Skepticism and doubt to Absolute Conviction
The abbey was the home of a series of the fasincating paranormal activities. The film is a historical novel that draws inspiration from real events, adventures, and phenomena while mixing dramatric historical fiction with horror. The character of Father Amorth was meant to undergo a great deal of change in the story. This is why the emotional and elict depiction of his character was focused.
Cinematic Aspects: A Frsh Feast for the Eyes and Positive Advancements
Cinematography has proved to be a great assistanxt in capturing the horror of the abbey, and the tension in the scenes of exorcism. The abbey horror scenes and the scenes of exorcism are so well camographed that they bring out the lighting and sound horror design beautifully. The critics points about the sound and lighting being unsubstantial for the horror, and the pacing being unreasonable is valid.
A Surprising Choice: Russell Crowe
Crowe’s casting as Father Amorth raised some eyebrows because he seems most likely to act in action and drama roles. In hindsight, he should have acted in the horror genre previously, even if he thought otherwise. Crowe’s performance seems to have multiple layers. For this reason, he should be credited with carrying the film. His commitment to the film seems strong, even if the tone of the film sometimes negates this.
A Production’s Backlash
It seems like there was minimal time to finish the film. Combine this with the historical nature of the filming locations and you have some uneven pacing and tone of the film. In addition to this, the film seems to have taken and liberal approach to including religious elements and some chose to criticize this. For some the film took an approach that strayed too far from the intended material.
As discussed, there aren’t films that does horror as well as drama and in this case Russell Crowe acts as the main feature. Majority of the audience does have high expectations which allows this film to approach the pack. If you are interested in a creatively thought of horror film, I would recommend this film.
