Looking at the trailer, you might find the overarching tone of The Pope’s Exorcist similar to other exorcism classics like The Exorcist, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Rosemary’s Baby, and some more modern titles like The Conjuring or Prey for the Devil. However, The Pope’s Exorcist differs from these popular films in the genre in its narrative and the fact that the plot is derived from the real-life experiences of a priest who worked as an exorcist. So, while it is supernatural fiction on one hand, it’s also sort of a biographical story on the other. In Rome, the Pope becomes ill while reading documents about the Spanish case and is hospitalized. Amorth finds a well on the abbey grounds going down to a complex sealed off by the Church as demonically dangerous. He learns that a founder of the Spanish Inquisition, an exorcist, was possessed, which let him infiltrate the Church and do many evils. Amorth also finds the Church covered this up and eventually discovers the name of Henry's demon, Asmodeus, which will assist the exorcism.
