Possessed 2000

Overview

Possessed is a 2000 horror television movie that explores the experiences of an 11-year-old boy and those around him. The narrative begins when the child starts exhibiting troubling behavior, including uncontrollable swearing, frequent temper tantrums, and physical attacks on others. He also experiences episodes of vomiting and unexplained movement of furniture in his presence, though he maintains no memory of these events. As the situation escalates, the boy's parents seek assistance from the Catholic Church after finding no resolution through Protestant channels. The Archbishop recruits Father Bowden, a World War II veteran who struggles with his own personal issues, such as alcoholism, nightmares, and flashbacks, to intervene. Father Bowden is tasked with performing a series of exorcisms on the child. The film is presented as a true account of the final exorcism known to have been conducted by the Catholic Church. The production has a runtime of one hour and fifty minutes and was released in the United States on October 22, 2000.
