The premiere of The Pope’s Exorcist
A shocking vision of the fight against the devil and paranormal phenomena in the Catholic faith
In an exclusive interview for La Opinion, Zamudio, founder of the Mexican Agency for Paranormal Investigation, the second autonomous body for the investigation, classification and evidence of supernatural cases, highlights the importance of this film in exposing the dangers posed by the devil and the way in which human beings can face them with their faith.
“The Pope’s Exorcist” is an opportunity for the public to witness first-hand the struggle of this ecclesiastical against the forces of evil and how his courage and beliefs led him to face terrifying situations. The film shows the reality of paranormal phenomena and offers a shocking vision of the fight against the devil in the context of the Catholic faith.
Zamudio emphasizes that this film is unique in its genre since it addresses supernatural events and the work of exorcists in a professional and journalistic way, offering a realistic and terrifying vision of the struggle between good and evil. It invites the public not to miss this cinematic experience that will open their eyes to the reality of paranormal phenomena and the courage of those who face them.
The legacy of Gabriele Amorth

Gabriele Amorth, a leading fighter against evil, resumes his ministry that was forgotten by the Church for a long time and even denied by some ecclesiastics.
In “The Pope’s Exorcist”, Father Gabriele (played by Russell Crowe) embarks on an investigation into the demonic possession of a child, thus discovering a conspiracy that the Vatican tried to keep secret for centuries, revealing the terrifying presence of the evil one.
For Zamudio, director of this film, it is important to highlight the humanity of Amorth, who never lost his faith or sense of humor, despite facing a being who sought to claim souls to form legions of evil.
It is important to remember that this Sony Pictures film is based on the stories of Father Gabriele Amorth himself, who would have performed around 70,000 exorcisms and was the founder of the International Association of Exorcists.
“Gabriele Amorth’s strength lay in her faith and her belief in religiosity, as is clearly shown in every exorcism in the film ’The Pope’s Exorcist’,” Zamudio said, highlighting how she faced these dramatic encounters without being traumatized.
The Prospect of Demonic Possession

The perspective of demonic possession, from the perspective of an expert in paranormal phenomena, becomes more relevant when listening to Antonio Zamudio, who has more than 27 years of experience in this field and has witnessed 8 cases of demonic possession in his career.
“When we approach a case of this nature, we do a rigorous and professional analysis of the phenomenon,” explains Zamudio, who clarifies that he is an agnostic, that is, he does not follow any religion.
“We act as researchers and classify the phenomenon, filtering it out for the Church, since many people tend to go to a research organization faster than to a parish priest or diocese.”
As a researcher, Zamudio describes that confronting a spiritually evil being is confronting your own fears. “The devil seeks and finds a secret that only you know, something that you have kept for years or that you have even forgotten and uses it against you. We’ve had experiences where you shudder.”
Where is “The Pope’s Exorcist” located on the threshold of horror movies?
Antonio Zamudio argues that when he witnessed demonic possession, despite being agnostic, he remembered God. This sense of fear and anguish is the same that we will experience when watching this film.
But beyond the adrenaline we can feel, “The Pope’s Exorcist” is an unprecedented film. “The fact that the film is based on the real reports, anecdotes and protocols of an official exorcist like Gabriele Amorth makes it a pressing need for those interested in the subject.”
