‘An Irish Exorcism’ Picked Up By Virgil Films
26 Aug 2014 : Deirdre Molumby
New York-based Virgil Films and Entertainment has recently picked up Irish film "An Irish Exorcism" for distribution. The expected release date for availability on VOD and more is early 2015.

Written by Martin Robinson and directed by Eric Courtney, the creative team behind the feature ‘Seer’, ‘An Irish Exorcism’ focuses on 13 yr old Lisa and her apparent possession as witnessed by anthropology student Lorraine, Father Byrne and Father Quinn.

“When I was sent the script for 'An Irish Exorcism,' my immediate reaction was one of shock that there had not been a film made on this subject, set in Ireland,” said Paddy C Courtney who plays Fr. Quinn in the film. Courtney is best-known for his work on ‘Shameless’ while ‘Game Of Thrones’ fans will be excited to see Brian Fortune is also included in the cast. Newcomer Anna Davis will play Lisa.

Speaking about the film, director Eric Courtney said the film comes “two years after directing my first feature ‘Seer’, which was also written by Martin Robinson. We shared a mutual interest in the movie ‘The Exorcist’ and we both realized that a drama tackling exorcism in Ireland did not definitively exist from an Irish perspective.

“We both started out researching and reading books on the subject. Given Ireland’s identity as being a country steeped in Catholicism and religion, a story started to take form from Martin’s pen… While this was happening, I saw the first Paranormal Activity movie which rekindled my interest in telling a story through first person narrative.”

‘An Irish Exorcism’ is produced by Richard Kearney through Frame It Productions, based in Kildare.
