Deus Irae (2010 Argentina)

See it
With so many terrible Exorcist wannabes coming out left right and center, nowadays, it is nice to see someone get it right. Deus Irae, only runs for 13 minutes yet hits the mark more times in its short run than all the exorcists movies put together.
                For starters, we do not have to endure the boring contradicting cliché with of a priest who, despite his continually exorcizing demons from people's bodies, still has doubts about his job and beliefs. They do not waste time trying to show "real documents" of exorcists from the past, in a desperate attempt to make the film seem real. And finally, they do not start a film by saying, "Based on True Events". Instead what this short flick does do is provide a quick and graphic battle with demonic beings through the channel of a young lady. This is gory and atmospheric  along with cool and violent action and plenty of shock surprises.
                13 minutes goes a long way. I just wish there was and will be more.
