The Resurrection Man

On Feb 24th, 2018, a video titled 'The Resurrection Man' was uploaded to Youtube by an anonymous user. The video purported to show actual evidence of demonic possession as captured during an unauthorized exorcism. In less than 72 hours, the video received more than 8 million views. The 61 minute video drew instant criticism and complaints claiming that what it actually showed was the abuse and torture of a mentally ill man by members of his church. The video was removed by Youtube for violating their content agreement. This documentary examines the 61 minute video known only as 'The Resurrection Man'.

Directed by Jason Hawkins, The Resurrection Man leans on a strong ensemble — David Mitchum Brown, Jason Hawkins, Tristan David Luciotti — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2023.
