A documentary about an Irish exorcist is out this weekend

 “Satan is having his last stand. This is his Waterloo. But he’s going to destroy as much as he can…”

 

Hostage To The Devil is the documentary released on Irish production company Causeway Pictures.

It’s the story of Irish priest Malachi Martin who performed exorcisms. It uses interviews, original footage and reconstructions to tell Martin’s tale.

From the trailer however, the priest’s methods seem divisive. Some saying he was a cheat, some saying he was a ‘warrior’.

Check out the premiere on Sunday January 15 on Netflix to see for yourself. Watch the trailer below.
