    While performing an unauthorized exorcism on his father, an elite exorcist suspects the entity he is battling with might be a holy being, perhaps even God. Director: Michael PetersonRunning time: 1h 27mQuite a mishmash of horror mainstays. Peterson and his cast make a valiant attempt at keeping it all afloat, but Shadow of God would probably have been better served by a bit of streamlining.

Irish folk horror, a buddy comedy without the comedy, and an exorcism gone wrong.
