Spoilers ahead When Christina's parents were blessed by Father Amorth, she became violent with possession again. Why didn't Father Amorth focus on her again? Why did he just continue to bless her parents? If the case of possession is so unique, devastating and devastating to her, why just leave her with it while blessing other people? The narrator even mentions that she is more violent than before, but no one does anything about it? How did Father Amorth, a very holy Father, just die from pneumonia? Why was the extremely dramatic meeting in Alatri not even filmed or recorded? When you call Christina and she sounds angry on the phone, you can assume that you might have a chance to film something that is exactly what the documentary is all about. Wait, what was the documentary about again? This confirmed for me that the whole documentary is fake.

The documentary is taking a very interesting approach. The real footage of an actual exorcism is being compared with current scientific knowledge and findings both in psichiatry and neuroscience. Honest and unbiased scientist's and physician's opinions give added weight to this phenomenon. It will be very interesting for those of us who usually say that the science does not recognize such illnesses or that the problems of such sort (possessions) are exclusively a "religious thing", thus discarding any deeper self-reflection and worldview questioning. Even if the spiritual problems of demonic origin are very rare, it does not mean that they do not expose the deeper reality of our spiritual being. Father Amorth was a renown priest, a person entirely dedicated to helping people in need, but above all, he was a warrior. This documentary is the real deal and don't let the low ratings fool you into not seeing it.

I like how it was documentary style. I also liked that they showed both sides of the argument. Her voice when she was possessed sounded like the nazi zombies from call of duty. The ending was a bit ridiculous

In order to push that demonic posession is real, Friedkin: 1) talks about the inspiration for "The Exorcist," but omits that the "possessed" boy faked it for attention. 2) uses special effects to alter the sound of the "possessed" woman's voice during her "exorcism" 3) talks to psychiatrists then blatantly lies that they believe in demonic posession. Pathetic!

Shame on you William Friedkin and LD Entertainment. It is obvious that this documentary is an another effort of Vatican for keeping people under their own control with Totalitarianism attitude with force of Gabriele Amorth. It is obvious that a huge amount of money have been exchanged between Vatican and William Friedkin and LD Entertainment. The actress who plays the Cristina was doing her job OK and I'm sure she is now very comfortable in her villa with the money that Vatican gives her for playing this role (A possessed woman from somewhere in the Italy - village of Venafro). Just imagine the amount of money that causes William Friedkin an amnesia! Because as matter of fact he is an Agnostic, but when it comes to The Exorcist movie and the business around it he will forgot about that and leave it under the carpet. Special effects for Cristina's voice was cheesy. come on! you could at least lesson to Gollum from The Lord of the Rings and learn from it. By the way, Other audio frequencies from anyone else in that room were leveled down when Cristina snarls to make it easy to overdub the Cristina's voice. I can make growls way more better than this cheesy overdub. There was a moment that William Friedkin said, "They said to me that you can film the exorcism with just a camera and ALONE" Why!!! just because Vatican could pay William Friedkin and that's it... it is a way more better idea instead of buying the whole crew! William Friedkin forgot that he was limited to film the exorcism with limited equipment (just a camera) and filmed some of the other interviews with that Sony camera!!! Laughable... isn't it? The overall production was bad. The purpose and the message was horrible. ...Wait a minute... everything was horrible except the account balance of William Friedkin and LD Entertainment guys! If you wanna indoctrinate people, do it at least professionally and believable!

The documentary is very interesting, showing what a real exorcism is. And one prove of that are all the negative comments here, insults and 1-star ratings.

Friedkin does try his best to make this somewhat credible, I'm not religious in the slightest but went into this with an open mind. The build up was fun, hearing these accounts from Christina's family about the horrific things that had happened, oh boy, I'm very interested in when we get to the 'real' exorcism, then we find out this is Christina's 9th lap around the holy field and at that point is where any optimism left me, this is simply religious propaganda. Go to mass and holy ceremonies because this is how you'll get the devil anGerY, then you'll know you're possessed. The 'fact' that Christina has been exorcised 8 times prior to this recording is just an easy way to dismiss the far more extreme symptoms she allegedly had in the previous exorcisms; which leads me to the damn voice. The. Damn. Voice. It's just post production magic, synthesising the voice, and its blindingly obvious, take a listen back at it and notice how every time Christina's demonic voice is projected, the room goes silent and even when Amorth is speaking, his voice disappears, but his mouth keeps going. I have a lot of respect for Friedkin and his contribution to modern film, but he was in over his head here, couldn't even isolate a track in order to keep background noise over the voice. The documentary is a sham, watch for a few laughs.

Greetings again from the darkness. In 1971, William Friedkin directed one of my all-time favorite films, THE FRENCH CONNECTION. He won the Oscar for Best Director. But of course that's not the movie which entrenched him as a cinematic legend. Two years later he directed THE EXORCIST, a film that, 45 years later, still regularly appears at or near the top of most "Best Horror film" lists. For most of his adult life (he's now in his 80's), Mr. Friedkin has been associated with exorcisms, and he kicks off this documentary by confessing that he will be attending his first ever actual exorcism ... and will be filming the ceremony. It's a ritual very few of us have ever witnessed, and we learn that more than 500,000 Italians seek exorcisms from a priest each year. The director seems very anxious to take us along on his journey. We get interviews and footage from multiple associated folks: Jeffrey Burton Russell, author of "The Prince of Darkness" and other satanic novels; William Peter Blatty, author of "The Exorcist"; a young Los Angeles priest who simultaneously expresses skepticism while stating he wouldn't want to get that close to the devil; and a couple of Neurosurgeons and some Psychiatrists. There are also interviews with a brother and sister recalling her experience of having a liberating exorcism performed on her, and the titular Father Gabriele Amorth - one of the most beloved figures in the Catholic Church. He was Head Exorcist for the Diocese of Rome for more than 30 years. Whether the movie works for you or not (whether you believe it's real) likely depends on the interview we neither see nor hear. Mr. Friedkin's build up is to the exorcism he attends as Father Amorth performs the 9th exorcism on 'Cristina'. It's May 1, 2016 and there are perhaps 12-15 people in the room, including Cristina's parents and boyfriend. She has struggled with "demonic possession" for years, and the footage is quite startling - especially the audio of the guttural voice from such an innocent looking lady. It's also Father Amorth's 91st birthday and he literally thumbs his nose at the devil. It's after this ceremony where Friedkin claims he was to interview Cristina in a local church. Inexplicably, he doesn't have his camera, so we only hear him tell of the horrific events. Mr. Friedkin directs the film (co-written with noted film critic Mark Kermode) and also acts as our guide through the rituals and beliefs associated with exorcisms. There is a bit of a "Dateline" vibe to the production, though it's a bit surreal to hear Father Amorth proclaim to the evil spirits, "You are banned forever". As has been the tradition for years, religion and science are at odds with the subject. Neurosurgeons label it "delirium", while Psychiatrists call it "Disassociate Trance Disorder". Is it merely a placebo effect caused by religious beliefs, or does Satan exist? Perhaps author Jeffrey Burton Russell says it best: "stay away from this stuff".
