AMERICAN EXORCISM Possess’s VOD in May

For horror fans who just can’t get enough demon ousting and supernatural hijinks, American Exorcism is yet another exorcist film being released this year. Hitting Video on Demand in May, the Tripp Weathers directed film tells the story of Damon Richter “who thought he left the world of possessions, exorcisms, and evil behind until an old friend arrives with frightening information about his estranged daughter knowing that only his otherworldly skills can save her.” Pretty standard stuff as far as exorcisms go, and without so much as a trailer to go on, that’s all the info we got until the film is released. Still, as Tom Petty once crooned, “She was an American girl.” Not sure if the lady in Mr.Petty’s song had green skin and puked pea soup over everyone, but hey, you gotta take what you can get.

ISLAMIC EXORCIST Puts A New Spin On A Classic Genre

Islamic Exorcist is exactly what it sounds like; The Exorcist, just with Islam. Given The Exorcist is one of the best horror movies ever made however, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. And Islam can stand toe to toe with any other religion as far as scary ass demons go. Ever heard of Zaccoum? It’s basically a tree, except with more decapitated heads. Based on a true story (because what good exorcism movie isn’t?), Islamic Exorcist is directed by Faisal Saif, who actually received death threats while filming. From the mouth of the man himself, “I got lots of life threats from the Muslim and Shia Muslim community to not to make this film or if already made, not to showcase it anywhere.” Damn. With that much horror just behind the scenes, the full film itself must be terrifying.
