Known as the “Dean of Exorcists,” Father Amorth (who turned 92 not so long ago) has performed thousands of exorcism rituals to rid evil from the human body.
About 2 months back we let you guys know that William Friedkin’s new documentary The Devil and Father Amorth was expected to hit theaters this spring via The Orchard.
Today we have news via BDM that not only will the film be hitting theaters on April 20th, but we also have the movie’s poster to share!
You can check out the poster to the right (which looks more like the cover of a new novel than a movie – not that that’s a bad thing) and the trailer for Friedkin’s The Exorcist below. The let us know if you’re excited about The Devil and Father Amorth? Let us know below!
The film hits select theaters April 20.
Synopsis:
In his latest, William Friedkin returns not only to his documentary roots but to the subject of one of his most towering works, 1973’s THE EXORCIST. Friedkin, a legendary raconteur, leads a tour that moves from the infamous Exorcist steps in Georgetown to Italy, where he meets with the 91-year-old Father Gabriele Amorth, official exorcist of the Diocese of Rome, and accompanies Amorth on one of his harrowing house calls. A sprightly, at times gonzo-style investigation into the long history of demonic lore, and a one-of-a-kind insight into the persistence of medieval belief in the supposedly modern world.
