While we patiently await a deal here in the States, you can read about Anchor Bay Entertainment Canada’s acquisition of writers/directors Jen and Sylvia Soska’s American Mary by clicking here. The Canadian indie portrays a disenchanted medical student (Katherine Isabelle) who enters a world of underground surgery that leaves more scars on herself than on her freak clientele.
“The Real Exorcist” will premiere on Lifetime on Wednesday, October 31st at 11pm ET/PT. “The unscripted series follows Reverend Bob Larson as he attempts to “cure” the possessed. With over 10,000 exorcisms under his belt, Larson and his team – including his wife,Laura – confront demons while victims, often restrained; speak in tongues, bite, scratch and scream. In the Halloween night episode, it is a matter of life or death as Reverend Larson tries to help a suicidal young woman in Savannah, GA, who believes she has demons that want her dead. Later, an exorcism with a man in Oregon doesn’t quite end the way he or Reverend Larson had planned.“
