Directed by William Friedkin

A twelve-year-old girl is not herself anymore. It starts with sounds in the attic. Then a shaking bed, a voice that belongs to someone else, a strength no child should have. Her mother, a working actress, moves from doctor to doctor and comes back with nothing. Medicine has no name for what is happening upstairs. Out of options, she turns to the Church. Two priests take the case: one wrestling with his own faith, the other who has faced this before.
