Film Quiz Friday | Getting The Hell Out

Consult a young priest and an old priest before playing this week’s film quiz, which features 30 new movie-related questions.

---

In cinemas now, Russell Crowe stars in his second exorcism movie in as many years, straightforwardly titled The Exorcism. (Read James’ review here!) With a certain TV season finale also involving demonic possession (see Q21!), this week’s film quiz includes some general knowledge movie questions, ramps up the crazy with a second round on demons, devils, and exorcists on screen, then settles back into another round of cinematic teasers.

Once you’ve completed all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is all just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. And if you don’t like it, well, to quote a film I watched on a plane once: “Your mother chucks socks in Hull!”
