Priest Malachi Martin, who strongly believed in the existence of the Devil, is known mostly for the many books he’s written on the subject. Published in 1976, Hostage to the Devil is one of his most well-known books, and it’s also the title of a new documentary about Martin’s final exorcism.
Directed by Marty Stalker, Hostage to the Devil will be released sometime this year by Causeway Pictures. In the meantime, check out a chilling trailer below.
Synopsis:
Over five years in production, director Marty Stalker has made a film which examines age-old questions about the existence of the Devil and the debate over good versus evil, all through the life of a controversial Irish-born Jesuit priest, Fr Malachi Martin.
Using first person-interviews with paranormal royalty such as Lorraine Warren, Ralph Sarchie, and John Zaffis, along with dramatic reconstructions, archival evidence, and words straight from Martin, this spine-chilling documentary takes the audience on a journey through an extraordinary life marked by battles against the Vatican, scandal, contention, and most of all, a deep and all-encompassing belief in the theory and practice of exorcism.
The film explains in graphic detail the process and outcomes of such an ordeal, including the horrifying case study of a four-year-old girl whom Fr Martin assessed as requiring exorcism. This was to be the last case he was involved in before he died under mysterious circumstances.
