In 2021, the third addition to the franchise of The Conjuring was released, titled The Devil Made Me Do It. As with the other films in the series, this movie is based on a true story of extreme malevolence.
This Halloween, an upcoming documentary on Netflix delves into the true story behind the first individual in the United States to utilize a “the devil made me do it” defense in a murder case, which inspired the film adaptation.
Today, Netflix has made an announcement that the premiere of The Devil on Trial will take place on October 17, 2023. Please review the poster displayed below, and anticipate the forthcoming release of the trailer.
In “The Devil on Trial,” we delve into the singular instance where a defense of “demonic possession” was utilized in a US murder trial. Through the use of first-hand narratives detailing purported possessions by the devil and an unsettling account of a murder, this exceptional tale compels us to ponder upon our trepidation of the mysterious and unfamiliar.
Christopher Holt directed the forthcoming feature documentary.
