‘The Exorcist: Believer’ Test Screening Met With Negative Reactions
According to World of Reel, the latest David Gordon Green Exorcist film had a test screening in New York City and we are already getting the news that the film isn’t very good. In fact, the word is “Not very scary” and “Too long”. We are a long way out from the official release of the film. So, there is plenty of time for them to rework it but, still. Ouch.
One viewer highlighted on Twitter did come out to say that the film has one outstanding jump scare in it. However, outside of that not much on the positive side came out of the test screening.
The synopsis for The Exorcist went like this:
One of the most profitable horror movies ever made, this tale of an exorcism is based loosely on actual events. When young Regan (Linda Blair) starts acting odd — levitating, speaking in tongues — her worried mother (Ellen Burstyn) seeks medical help, only to hit a dead end. A local priest (Jason Miller), however, thinks the girl may be seized by the devil. The priest makes a request to perform an exorcism, and the church sends in an expert (Max von Sydow) to help with the difficult job.
We don’t have many details at this time other than Ellen Burstyn making a return to the franchise. Her character is set to assist a new parent who has come into contact with Pazuzu and a newly possessed child.
We are kind of bummed out with the test screening news. But, we are holding out hope that the audience in that test screening doesn’t know what they are talking about.

Baffling Footage of “Time Traveler” Captured on Ring Cam
Some physicists think that time travel is possible and in a recent social media story we might believe them.
It all started when a homeowner named Alec Schaal checked his outside security camera remotely. He saw a young gentleman walking aimlessly around the yard seemingly looking for something. The trespassing individual with a backpack over his shoulder entered the homeowner’s tool shed and closed the door. It seemed like a simple case of unlawful intrusion. But as the homeowner reviewed the entire footage he noticed something strange and ended up calling the police.
It became a concern when the interloper never exited the shed. Worried, the homeowner had law enforcement check on the situation but the investigation turned up nothing: the stranger was nowhere to be found, he seemingly disappeared into thin air.
That would have been the end of it, but what happened next is even stranger.
The next day, someone who looks like the first guy emerges from the shed but he appears 30 years older!!
Since this weird story broke, Schaal’s TikTok has been blowing up and he has given several updates. Of course, some people are outright skeptical about the whole thing, while others want more proof which Schaal provides.
In the most recent update, Schaal says TikTok is trying to remove the story from his feed saying that it violates their guidelines about…gambling. He’s appealed but was declined.
Take a look at the videos for yourself and let us know what you think.
@alecschaal I’ve literally watched this 1 million times and he never leaves. Where did he go? 😭👀

‘Violent Night’ Director’s Next Project is a Shark Movie
Sony Pictures is getting in the water with director Tommy Wirkola for his next project; a shark movie. Although no plot details have been revealed, Variety confirms that the movie will start filming in Australia this summer.
Also confirmed is that actress Phoebe Dynevor is circling the project and is in talks to star. She is probably best known for her role as Daphne in the popular Netflix soap Bridgerton.
Duo Adam McKay and Kevin Messick (Don’t Look Up, Succession) will produce the new film.
Wirkola is from Norway and utilizes a lot of action in his horror films. One of his first films, Dead Snow (2009), about zombie Nazis, is a cult favorite, and his 2013 action-heavy Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is an entertaining distraction.
But 2022’s Christmas blood fest Violent Night starring David Harbour made wider audiences familiar with Wirkola. Coupled with favorable reviews and a great CinemaScore, the film became a Yuletide hit.
Insneider first reported this new shark project.
