The Exorcism (2024)
They were making a cursed movie. They were warned not to. They should have listened.
A troubled actor begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film, leading his estranged daughter to wonder if he's slipping back into his past addictions or if there's something more sinister at play.
In The Exorcism, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “possession horror set”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing possession, faith, trauma, exorcism, supernatural.
