Father Dan Reehil, a Roman Catholic priest and exorcist for the Diocese of Nashville, has sparked discussion by suggesting that Steven Spielberg’s upcoming alien-themed movie “Disclosure Day” could carry demonic influences capable of undermining viewers’ faith.
Reehil, who pastors St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Columbia, Tennessee, addressed the topic in a recent video on his YouTube channel. He reacted to comments attributed to Spielberg, whose film explores government disclosure of extraterrestrial activity and its potential theological ramifications.
“Spielberg said something very odd. He said that this film will shake the faith of many people or have people re-question their belief in God and their religion,” Reehil stated, questioning the intent behind such an outcome. He added, “That seems very much like something the Antichrist would do, or Satan.”
The exorcist noted Spielberg’s long history with alien narratives in films and highlighted the current cultural debate surrounding UFOs and their possible spiritual dimensions. While expressing uncertainty about the director’s specific motives, Reehil warned of the potential for movies to be deliberately infused with dark forces.
“One of the things that comes to mind is that the movie itself — I’m not saying this is what was done, but this could be done — the movie could be consecrated to Satan, and demons can be attached to the movie,” he explained. Reehil drew parallels to past practices in the music industry, where albums were reportedly dedicated through occult rituals to influence listeners.
He further cautioned that such a curse could introduce “demons of unbelief, demons of fear, [and] demons of terror” to those who watch, though he stressed this remained a possibility rather than a confirmed fact. A clip of his remarks quickly went viral on social media, drawing both attention and criticism.
Reehil also expressed concern over the recent removal of Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti, the chief exorcist for the Archdiocese of Washington, citing Rossetti’s public views linking many UFO sightings to demonic deception. “Demons have appeared in many ways, shapes and forms for millennia,” Reehil observed, defending the veteran exorcist’s theological standing.
