The story of Deus Irae is about Father Javier, a priest living a fractured existence. On one side, he assists families who claim to have witnessed miracles, and on the other, he belongs to a trio of excommunicated priests who hunt the possessed down to exorcize them under their own terms: with Bibles, fire, and shotguns.
But when the only way to crush Evil is by becoming something even worse, he must question how much of his own humanity — or sanity — he’s willing to sacrifice to defeat the Devil.
The movie is based on a short of the same name, which had earned 25 international festival awards. The full film has been traveling the festival circuit as a work in progress, but it still found acclaim and prizes from the likes of the Sitges Film Festival.
