Demons are people too. At least, they used to be. Interview with a Demon puts one such diabolical eyewitness on the hot seat to explain what really happens when we "pass on".

Bradley Gibb had it all. A beautiful wife, a palatial home in the suburbs and a great job hosting the most popular talk show on television - The Hot Seat with Bradley Gibb. Then, one day, all hell broke loose. His wife, Boodle, is suddenly possessed by a demon and it looks like he might lose her altogether. At the instructions of the archdiocese's exorcist, Father Francis Flanagan, he ties her to their bed and waits for his arrival. Ever the opportunist, Bradley decides that this would be an excellent opportunity to film an actual exorcism for his show. Surely his wife, the show's director, would agree, wouldn't she? Unfortunately, he can't ask her in her current condition so he makes the decision for her. He calls in his main cameraman, Pat Lor, for the historic taping. At first outraged by this turn of events, Father Flanagan reluctantly agrees to allow the cameraman into the bedroom to record the sacred rite of exorcism. But when Bradley and Pat encounter the demon in his lucid state for the first time, a new opportunity emerges. An interview with a demon! As a negotiation to voluntarily leave the body of Boodle, the Demon consents to the television interview, but first he must enter the body of a new host. He explains that when a host is willing, there is no danger and so convinces Pat to be his new body. What follows is a wild ride as the Demon explains, demystifies and reveals the truth about life on the other side.—Mark Terry

Synopsis

What really happens when we die? A question that has been asked for centuries yielding a variety of answers, but none with proof.When Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon, he was constantly asked what was it like?What if we had a similar reporter, someone who had been there and come back to tell us what it's really like, answering all our big questions once and for all? How we cross over. What, in fact, is on the other side? Are Heaven and Hell actually as we believe them to be? Do we reunite with our relatives who died before us? All of them or just grandma and grandpa?And what if this reporter was a demon? Would his testimony be reliable given his reputation? Or maybe we are imposing a generalized prejudice on this individual. Why do we believe ALL demons are evil? When we exercise that philosophy on other groups we are accused of being racist, sexist, even, ageist."Interview with a Demon" gives the benefit of the doubt to our intrepid reporter from the netherworld and what he has to report will leave you re-thinking your entire belief systems!
