The Exorcism of God

The Exorcism of God is currently streaming in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Starz Apple TV Channel, and it earns its premise rather than just borrowing genre trappings. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 1,169 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Will Beinbrink anchors it with a performance that grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

The Exorcism of God is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The Exorcism of God uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. An American priest working in Mexico is considered a saint by many local parishioners. However, due to a botched exorcism, he carries a secret that’s eating him alive until he gets an opportunity to face his demon one final time. Will Beinbrink and María Gabriela de Faría lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It hit screens in 2022. The rules of The Exorcism of God's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give The Exorcism of God a chance. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Will Beinbrink anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.
