The Exorcism - The scoop and digest

Joshua John Miller's directs and co-writes screenplay with life partner M. A. Fortin.

Oh, this is not a sequel to The Pope's Exorcist.

Russell Crowe - Anthony Miller
Ryan Simpkins - Lee Miller
Sam Worthington - Joe
Chloe Bailey - Blake 
David Hyde Pierce - Father Conor
Adam Goldberg - Peter

Summary

In New York City, an actor perusing the set of supernatural horror The Georgetown Project is mysteriously killed.

Subsequently, the film's director Peter hires washed up alcoholic actor Anthony to portray priest Father Arlington, whose wife died from cancer a few years ago.

As days of shooting pass, Anthony's estranged daughter Lee becomes increasingly concerned over her dad's bizarre behaviour, including sleepwalking and soiling himself.

A few days later, Anthony suddenly attacks Lee and disappears.

The monster in you

Film in the film is a remake of The Exorcist, with production inviting a demon called Molech.

Err, what the fuck?

I suppose idea is based on the curse that surrounded the set of William Friedkin's seminal classic.

And yeah, I don't care that director is the son of Jason Miller.

Want to know something rather incredible?

Great.

The statue of said demon (spelled Moloch here) is pivotal to Chapter 3 of excellent indie horror video game Faith: The Unholy Trinity.

Psychological slow burn is initially quite watchable, but things go to absolute shit once the spectacularly boring exorcism stuff begins.

For his own sake, Maximus should cast dog collar to the nearest bin.
