Godless follows a married couple named Lara and Ron as they struggle to get back to a normal life. Lara is tormented by her deteriorating health and torn between science and faith. A frustrated Ron pushes Lara to seek treatment from a congregation of zealots. The future of Lara is in the hands of a cruel exorcist who claims to be able to save her soul which ultimately leads to an innocent woman enduring hell.
Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism feels like a raw, realistic take on possession and mental health that is as empathetic as it is chilling.
In no way is this a William Friedkin 'The Exorcist' knock-off, instead it leans into the grim reality of unfettered religious fundamentalism.
