Overview
After years of performing “exorcisms” and taking believers’ money, Reverend Marcus travels to rural Louisiana with a film crew so he can dispel what he believes is the myth of demonic possession.

Center
Primary
The film maintains a neutral stance by exploring the conflict between religious faith and skepticism, ultimately presenting a terrifying, apolitical triumph of evil that critiques both the misuse of faith and the limitations of a purely rational approach without championing a specific political ideology.
The film features a predominantly white main cast, though it includes a Black supporting character, offering some visible diversity without explicit recasting of traditional roles. Its narrative explores themes of faith and rural life without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on DEI themes.
Secondary
The film depicts Christianity, particularly its fundamentalist and evangelical forms, as either a cynical scam exploited by charlatans or a source of dangerous superstition leading to violence and tragedy. The narrative offers no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal, instead highlighting the destructive potential of extreme religious belief.
