A spellbinding fusion of religious and supernatural events set in Biblical times, The First Exorcist tells of a mother’s harrowing quest to save her daughter from demonic possession.

His refined storytelling and dynamic visual style will elevate The First Exorcist, and we are thrilled to bring his spine-chilling vision to life.”
