Over the decades, audiences have seen many exorcist horror films that try to replicate the feel and tone with the 1973 movie The Exorcist. In The Exorcism of God, the tables are turned as the other side tries to exorcise God out of an exorcist.
From director Alejandro Hidalgo, the film stars Joseph Marcell (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), Maria Gabriela de Faria (The Moodys, Deadly Class), Will Beinbrink (It Chapter Two, Dark), Hector Kotsifakis (Malverde: El Santo Patron), and Iran Castillo (SOS Me estoy enamorando). The script is written by Santiago Fernandez Calvete and Hildago.
Here is the long synopsis:
Father Peter Williams, an American exorcist, hides a shocking secret: possessed by a demon he was trying to expel, he committed a terrible sacrilege. To atone for his sin, Peter devotes his life to charity work in a small town in Mexico. Eighteen years later, his deeply buried secret comes to light when the demon from his past returns, possessing a girl and unleashing a deadly disease. Now Peter must choose between saving his own soul and saving the people he loves most in one final, epic battle against the evil within.
