FILM REVIEW: The Exorcism (2024 Film) Starring Russell Crowe

Image
“The Exorcism” offers a spine-tingling journey that explores the blurred boundaries between reality and the supernatural. Directed by Joshua John Miller, this highly anticipated horror film stars Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe, whose riveting performance will leave audiences gripping their seats. Crowe portrays Anthony Miller, a once-renowned actor haunted by a dark past. While shooting a supernatural horror movie, Miller begins to experience eerie occurrences that challenge his grip on reality. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), becomes caught in the unraveling mystery, torn between concern for her father’s potential relapse into addiction and the possibility that something far more malevolent is at play. The film deftly navigates Miller’s spiral into either madness or a supernatural possession, blending psychological terror with otherworldly horror in a narrative that is both intimate and universally terrifying. The film’s cast adds further depth to the story. Sam Worth...

It’s my new short story collection of ghost stories, sometimes the ghosts are good, sometimes they are bad, but they always seem to frighten us mere mortals. Why do you think readers are still interested in ghost stories? I’m actually going to give readers a preview of my new book by publishing the book’s introduction here— Ghost stories are found in all cultures all around the world. Storytellers have been using the oral tradition to tell these scary tales for many centuries now. The most famous English ghost story is probably A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, although Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad by M.R. James is a strong contender for second. The most famous American ghost stories are The Haunting by Shirley Jackson and, of course, Peter Straub’s Ghost Story. Another signi"cant ghost s...
