The #1 documentary on Netflix is about a case so terrifying that it inspired countless possession movies over the years. While most of us most recently saw this story unfold in The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It none of us were prepared to hear from the people who were involved in the actual case. The Devil on Trial gives the people who lived through this scary event a chance to tell their side of the story.

Official Netflix Synopsis

“The Devil on Trial explores the first — and only — time “demonic possession” that has officially been used as a defense in a US murder trial. Including firsthand accounts of alleged devil possession and shocking murder, this extraordinary story forces reflection on our fear of the unknown.”

Twitter is losing it over the documentary. Many viewers are stuck on how many movies have been inspired by this story. Others are using this film to share their feelings about Ed and Lorraine Warren.

I watched The Devil on Trial earlier and think that kid had them all played.

Just watched The Devil on Trial on Netflix and I gotta say, the demon that supposedly possessed the kid in the doc, well, he has a way with words. It uttered, perhaps, my favorite line a demon has ever spoken.

Priest: "Get out of the boy!"

The demon: "Fat Dick, Pork chop!"

The devil on trial, so Arne was “possessed” when he killed, but then after that he just wasn’t possessed anymore?

There is exactly one credible individual in The Devil on Trial and it's the eldest brother, Carl Glatzel.

Watching The Devil on Trial on @Netflix. Kinda fascinating that most of the early signs something was wrong sound more like things from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But mom’s first instinct was to call a priest.

The Devil on Trial was directed by Chris Holt. The film combines interviews, home footage, and reenactments of this unbelievable tale. It also features interviews with Arne Cheyenne Johnson. Johnson is the formerly possessed man who stood trial for manslaughter while claiming to be inhabited by a demonic entity at the time of the murder.
