The Vatican Exorcisms2013
“The public were never meant to know”
Directed by Joe Marino
The premise
The Vatican Exorcisms was shot by Joe Marino, an American film-maker who went to Italy to shed light on the phenomenon of exorcisms. Accompanied by Padre Luigi, a true exorcist, Joe travels to the south of Italy, a place where the sacred and profane have always lived together, where Christian rituals are inextricably linked to the pagan ones.
Horror Vault's take
An American filmmaker travels to southern Italy alongside a practicing exorcist, documenting a world where Catholic ritual and ancient pagan tradition blur into something deeply unsettling. Shot in the style of a documentary, the film immerses viewers in communities where demonic possession is not folklore but lived reality. What begins as an observational journey grows increasingly disturbing as the camera captures encounters that defy easy explanation.
