“Bone-chilling…” Screambox is releasing this chilling new horror film made in Argentina called Deus Irae, marking the feature directorial debut of genre filmmaker Pedro Cristiani. This originally premiered in 2023 at the Mar del Plata Film Festival in Argentina, and has played at other horror festivals during 2024. Now set for a streaming debut this month if you want to dive into it. Javier stares at a crucifix and his expressions and hands suggest that his nerves are consuming him. A flashback reveals that a priest devotes his life to visiting families and cleansing their homes from the demons that try to possess them. Jorge Prado stars as Father Javier in this violent, gory exorcism tale. “When the only way to crush Evil is by becoming something even worse, he questions how much of his own humanity — or sanity — he’s willing to sacrifice in order to defeat the Devil.” Looks like a properly messed up body horror / supernatural thriller made for horror fans.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Pedro Cristiani’s horror Deus Irae, direct from YouTube:

Deus Irea follows Father Javier, a priest living a fractured existence. On one side, he assists families who claim to have witnessed miracles, and on the other he belongs to a trio of excommunicated priests who hunt the possessed down to exorcize them under their own terms: with Bibles, fire, shotguns. But when the only way to crush Evil is by becoming something even worse, he questions how much of his own humanity — or sanity — he’s willing to sacrifice in order to defeat the Devil. Deus Irae is both written and directed by Argentinian genre filmmaker Pedro Cristiani, making his feature directorial debut with this, adapting his own short film of the same name (from 2010). Executive produced by Marcela Cárdenas-Alvarez. This first premiered at the 2023 Mar del Plata Film Festival a few years ago. Bloody Disgusting will debut Cristiani’s Deus Irae streaming on their Screambox service starting December 10th, 2024 this month. Look scary?
