New documentary explores the story of Fr Malachi Martin.
Causeway Pictures released the new trailer for the upcoming documentary, HOSTAGE TO THE DEVIL. Over 5 years in production, director Marty Stalker has made a film which examines age old questions regarding the existence of the Devil, and the debate over good versus evil, all through the life of a controversial Irish-born Jesuit priest, Fr Malachi Martin.
The film has been funded by Northern Ireland Screen and the Bord Scanna?n na hE?ireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB).
From Ireland, to the Vatican, to New York, using first-person interviews with paranormal experts including Lorraine Warren, Ralph Sarchie and John Zaffis, along with dramatic reconstructions, archival footage, and Martin’s own words, this spine-chilling documentary takes the audience on a journey through an extraordinary life; marked by battles against the Vatican, scandal, contention and most of all, a deep and all-encompassing belief in the theory and practice of exorcism.
The film explains, in graphic detail, the process and outcomes of exorcism, focusing on the horrifying case study of a four year old girl – Fr Martin’s final exorcism consultation before his death under suspicious circumstances.
Causeway Pictures will be in attendance at the Berlin Film Festival 2016.
