Ever since The Exorcist was first screened all those years ago, the legitimacy of the practice has been a constant topic of discussion. A new documentary looks to shed a rather bone-chilling light on the unsettling issue.

Norwegian filmmaker Fredrik Horn Akselsen, and his crew, followed José Antonio Fortea as he went about his daily business. His daily business just happens to be exorcising demons from tormented souls.

This is taken from the film’s site,

“The Exorcist in the 21st Century takes the viewer into the unknown and sinister world of exorcism in the Catholic Church.  We meet one of the few exorcists in Europe, the Vatican approved José Antonio Fortea. He travels around the world on a mission to enlighten the masses about demonic possession. Constanza, a Colombian woman, is desperately looking for Fr. Forteas help. She claims to have been possessed by demons for nearly 15 years and she goes through a ritual of exorcism before she sees the Spanish exorcist as a last hope for spiritual liberation. The film follows both their journeys and gives a unique insight into one of the world most secret and mystical rites – the catholic ritual of exorcism.”
