Just a couple weeks ago, we shared the news that Uncork’d Entertainment was planning to release writer/director Kelton Jones’ exorcism movie Of the Devil sometime in August. Now a trailer for Of the Devil has arrived online, and with it comes the announcement that Uncork’d is giving the film a digital release on August 9th! So check out the trailer in the embed above and see if this looks like a movie you’ll want to watch next month.
Based on a story by James Cullen Bressack, who also serves as executive producer, Of the Devil follows
a family desperate to find a cure for their young son’s brain cancer. When unconventional treatments lead to the child being possessed by an ancient evil, the parents must fight not only for the child’s life but also his soul.

The cast includes Vernon Wells (The Road Warrior), Devanny Pinn (Crossbreed), Robert LaSardo (The Mule), and Eileen Dietz, who played two roles in the horror classic The Exorcist (watch it HERE, pick up William Peter Blatty’s novel HERE). She was the face of Pazuzu the demon, and also played the possessed girl Regan in some scenes that were too violent or disturbing for young Linda Blair to perform.
Keith Leopard, the President of Uncork’d Entertainment, had this to say about his company acquiring the Of the Devil distribution rights:
Fans of The Exorcist will eat up this frighteningly fun possession thriller from Kelton Jones – it sent shivers up my spine!”
