The Girl Behind the Door (2013) Based on John Brooks’ memoir this documentary blends personal tragedy with possession claims. After adopting Romanian orphan Cristina she exhibited violent mood swings and spoke of being haunted. Doctors diagnosed reactive attachment disorder but Brooks believed she was spiritually tainted. The film follows his quest for answers including consultations with priests. It raises ethical questions about labeling trauma as demonic. Critics argue it pathologizes adoption struggles. Supporters see it as a cry for holistic care. The ambiguity makes it compelling as it navigates the painful intersection of mental health faith and parental desperation in interpreting unexplained behavior.
