Jul 3, 2007The "True Story" That Inspired The Exorcist
Steven E. de Souza, behind the scripts of a number of high-profile action films, directs this film that supposedly tells the true story that inspired The Exorcist. In practice, this is just another excuse to trot out the possession and exorcism cliches but the results are ludicrous
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
Nov 13, 2005Demonic Possession/"True Story"
This became a big sensation with its claims to be on the true account of an exorcism even if director Scott Derrickson alters what actually happened to the point of complete fiction. The rest just rehashes cliches from The Exorcist
Fido (2006)

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)
Sep 13, 2025Spy/Action Film
The eighth of the Mission: Impossible films. The previous entry Dead Reckoning was a high point in the series and this is left wrapping up the storyline in what would appear to be Tom Cruise’s final outing for the series
