Fascinating and thought provoking. This is not a

Fascinating and thought provoking. This is not a perfect doco and there are a lot of things that could have improved it (like having no music at all, going into the background of Father Amorth and possession more). (Secretly, I wonder if the release was rushed for legal reasons). But it is incredible to watch an actual exorcism (which is nothing like the movies) and also to see health professionals talking about it afterwards (and I would have liked more of this too). Some people have complained about the quality of the footage and sound during the actual exorcism, but I think that considering there was only 1 camera with no prep for something he had never experienced before, that it was well done. Watch this movie either on netflix or youtube for a different view on exorcisms in movies.

Intriguing. Don't listen to the bad hype

First I have to say that I am not a religious person, so this doesn't come from that point of view.

I struggle to understand why so many bad reviews for this documentary.

The Devil and Father Amorth is an amazing documentary that delves into exorcisms still performed to this day by Vatican appointed Exorcists.

William Friedkin is fantastic in this documentary as he explores exorcisms and what made him famous via directing the greatest devil possession film of all time The Exorcist.

This documentary is genuinely disturbing and it does have you questioning is there something more out there and maybe I should visit church.

It is creepy, intriguing and had me on the edge of my seat all the way through.

I would highly recommend this film. I am sure with the coming release of The Pope's Exorcist staring Russell Crowe and based on some of Father Amorth's files, This documentary will get more viewing time and perhaps get the respect it deserves.

You don't have to believe. I personally don't believe in Satan. However, this film made me question and if it can do that, then its a good film.
