Renfield, The Pope’s Exorcist, Evil Dead Rise, Motion Detected, and The Offering

Episode 228

This week, we’re skipping our usual short film and just blasting away with FIVE full-length reviews!

This week, we’ll watch a whole stack of brand-new movies released just this month. We’ll start with the comedic “Renfield,” move on to the less-comedic “The Pope’s Exorcist,” battle with more demons in “Evil Dead Rise,” get locked in a smart house in “Motion Detected,” and then deal with more demons, just this time with a Jewish exorcism in “The Offering.”

For our bonus reviews over at horrorbulletin.com, we have:

• “Enys Men” from 2023, an artsy, yet thought-provoking horror film. 

• “The Devil ad Father Amorth” (2017) a documentary about the real priest who inspired “The Pope’s Exorcist,” and it includes a video of a real exorcism.
