Movies like The Pope's Exorcist

“The Pope's Exorcist (2023) is a 2020s American horror-thriller that uses high-contrast lighting and ritual tableaux to dramatize institutional secrecy. It stages an investigator's confrontation with possession through axial composition, deep staging, and abrupt cross-cutting to escalate psychic dread. The film uses ritualized mise-en-scène to probe faith, visibility, and bureaucratic opacity.”
