Production
'The Exorsis' is a co-production by Viva Films and TinCan Productions with Fifth Solomon as its director. TinCan Productions is associated with Toni Gonzaga. The film project associated with 'Exorsis' was realized in November 2019 when actress Alex Gonzaga suggested Solomon to direct a film that would feature her and her sister Toni. Solomon began writing the script, which was originally intended to be purely comedy, during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The director decided to make a horror film instead, to limit the amount of people and filming locations needed. He later shifted the script to a horror-comedy conceding that the horror genre is not his forte. The Gonzaga sisters were credited for providing the comedic elements to the film with Solomon adding that he shares "a similar sense of humor" with the siblings.
Principal photography took place in 2020 around the time when COVID-19 community quarantine measures were relaxed somewhat.
Release
