Watch: Exorcist Director William Friedkin Recorded a Real Exorcism!

Written by Patti Pauley

Remember when I told you readers back in July of this year William Friedkin was supposedly invited to the Vatican to witness and record a real life exorcism? While some speculated, it turns out to be 100% true and the proof is in the holy pudding folks. Legendary Director Friedkin who brought us arguably, one of the scariest and most iconic horror films of all time The Exorcist, did indeed witness the real deal, haven been given permission from a catholic priest called Father Gabriele Amorth who allowed him to film an exorcism on a young woman who has been living in her own hell.

Father Amorth, joined by four other priests alongside William Friedkin performed an exorcism on a woman in her late 30s we only know as Rosa on May 1st of 2016. In speaking with Vanity Fair, Friedkin stated this wasn’t this poor soul’s first rodeo with the priests. This exorcism in particular that the director had recorded, was in fact the ninth for the woman. The first initial exorcism of the troubled woman in Rome began in August of 2015 as in the months prior, ‘Rosas’ behavior became quite disturbing; most notably during Mass.

Her family believes a curse was brought about by her brother’s girlfriend who is said to be a witch and a member of a powerful demonic cult. Whether Rosa’s condition was caused by a witch, a demon, or just plain ol’ mental illness is up for speculation for all who read this. However, one thing is for certain, and that the audio and photos below tell a strong tale of something other-worldly. Friedkin himself brought the footage to a panel of American psychiatrists whose response to the footage floored the director. Instead of them giving the boot, he claims the panel called the footage  ‘absolutely amazing’ and ‘something authentic’.

“I went to these doctors to try to get a rational, scientific explanation for what I had experienced. I thought they’d say, ‘This is some sort of psychosomatic disorder having nothing to do with possession’. That’s not what I came away with.”

 

In the video below, you can hear Father Amorth tell the evil entity to leave Rosa in Latin. She then screams back ‘Mai’ which means ‘Never’, despite not knowing the language. The priest also asks how many demons resided in her, at which the reply was ‘Eighty legions’. Sound familiar anyone? Also, you can hear her say “Io Sono Satana”, which translates to “I am Satan.”

 

 

And I’m off to go say about 343 ‘Hail Marys’.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date

Published

Jake gyllenhaal presumed innocent

Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s in ‘Presumed Innocent’

Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.

These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:

According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”

Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.

Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.
