Shadow of God
Directed by Michael Peterson
Produced by Peterson Polaris, The Coven
A dark, theologically provocative horror film that weaponizes exorcism and demonic possession to interrogate faith, divine nature, and the boundary between salvation and damnation.
While performing an unauthorized exorcism on his father, an elite exorcist suspects the entity he's doing battle with might be a holy being – perhaps even God.
