Overview

An 11 year old boy starts throwing temper tantrums, vomiting on and attacking people, and swearing uncontrollably. Furniture begins to move on its own when he is around, and he doesn't remember any of it. After giving up on the protestants, the boy's parents turn to the catholic church for help. Father Bowden is a WWII veteran who is experiencing nightmares, flashbacks and other personal problems, including alcoholism. He is recruited by the archbishop to perform a series of exorcisms. This is the apparent true account of the last exorcism known to have been done by the catholic church.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A grim supernatural horror anchored by the psychological struggle of a troubled priest confronting both demonic forces and his own inner demons. The film privileges mounting dread and the question of what is genuinely happening over jump scares or spectacle.
