Holy Father Brings Crime Thriller Tension to the Exorcism Genre
Supernatural horror and criminal investigation come together in Holy Father, a new 90-minute feature from writer and director Shravan Tiwari. Produced by SRHP Films, the film is designed as a genre-blending thriller that moves beyond possession horror to explore a larger mystery involving faith, violence and the unknown.
The film stars Eric Roberts as Father Isaac Wales, a priest and exorcist whose past experience is challenged by a case involving possession and escalating crimes. As the investigation develops, Wales must determine whether the evil facing the community can be understood through human motive or something far darker.
Bryan Easley plays Chief Detective Sam Harper, who represents the investigative side of the story, while Mary Lirette portrays Luna Green, a psychic medium drawn into the events. Their characters help shape the film’s central conflict between rational inquiry and supernatural belief.
Holy Father is produced by Sandip Patel and Rita Patel and also features Zuhair Ahmed, Austin Lampe and Jonathan E. Simons. As part of the Holy Trilogy, the film follows Holy Ghost and is expected to lead into Holy Son, expanding the franchise’s themes of faith, crime and paranormal danger.
