Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real 1981 'Devil Made Me Do It' trial was the first known U.S. case using demonic possession as legal defense; the film sensationalizes what was actually a failed defense strategy.
Vera Farmiga performed the underwater sequence herself after training with free divers, nearly passing out during one take.
