Have you ever seen an exorcism movie? Then you've seen 90% of this.
Back in 1987 a kid gets possessed, and the Pope's own personal exorcist is sent to take care of it. Because... because he does. As it happens, this is the most powerful demon evah and only Russell Crowe on a mini motorbike can deal with it!
As I said, this is just like 90% of other exorcism movies. The other 10% is the lore of this movie, in which we find out that the devil has been inside the church all this time. And that this is supposed to be from the exorcist's personal files. Although we start with the exorcist doing an exorcism that is more theatre than actual exorcisng, and that he says only 2% is actual evil, this of course happens to be the 2%. According to him. Do we have independent validation of any of this? I haven't looked, but I doubt it. [Again I ask that if this is still happening, why is it not better documented in our world of technology?]
There easily could be a whole series of these films, but let's hope they actually do something interesting with the concept.
