Traditional exorcism fails, forcing a by-the-book priest and a rogue shaman to join forces. Their clashing beliefs lead to an unorthodox battle against an entity beyond Christian understanding. As the village's fate hangs in the balance, faith and folklore must unite before the demon claims more souls turns his world upside down.

Stans (Eminem and His Biggest Fans)
Directed by Steven Leckart.
Who's in it?
Eminem and his biggest fans
What's it about?
Released in 2000, Eminem's song Stan - about an obsessive, unstable fan - remains iconic. So iconic that the term stan was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017. In the song, the titular character handwrites a series of emotional letters to Eminem, repeating the line: 'I'm just like you'. That refrain serves as a guiding light for this unconventional and fully authorised feature, which follows a highly curated cast of real-life stans whose deep personal connections to Eminem mirror some of the themes found throughout his lyrics.
Why watch it?
More than just an exploration of fandom, the film examines the complicated relationship between one of the world's most private artists and his massive public persona. Through stylised recreations, rare archival footage, intimate interviews and an exclusive original interview with Eminem, it offers a raw, loud, and revealing journey across his career - and the passionate audience that has grown with him.
