Wolf Creek director Greg McLean is making a new supernatural horror movie called The First Exorcist.
Along with 2005’s Wolf Creek, McLean is known for making 2007’s Rogue, 2013’s Wolf Creek 2, 2016’s The Darkness, 2016’s The Belko Experiment, and, most recently, 2017’s Jungle. He has also directed episodes of the Wolf Creek television series, The Gloaming, and La Brea.

The First Exorcist will be set during “Biblical times” and follow a mother as she goes “on a harrowing quest to save her daughter from demonic possession.” The plot synopsis further reads, “As their lives descend into a nightmare, the mother learns of a mysterious healer with the power to expel demons, and embarks on a dangerous race against time – encountering hostile Roman authorities on her perilous mission to find the healer and save her daughter’s life.”
