William Friedkin attends an exorcism with Father Gabriele Amorth, as he treats an Italian woman named Cristina for the ninth time. Prior to filming, Cristina had purportedly been experiencing behavioural changes and “fits” that could not be explained by psychiatry, and which became worse during Christian holidays.

Directed by William Friedkin, written by Mark Kermode and William Friedkin, produced by Mickey Liddell and Pete Shilaimon.
Average viewer score of 5.1/10 from 106 ratings.
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…
