A Tennessee Roman Catholic priest has now gone viral after Steven Spielberg shared some comments about the alien film and the use of religion in the plot. Taking to his account on a popular video streaming platform, the priest commented that the filmmaker’s comments were “odd” and that he did not understand why he said that in the interview.Father Dan Reehil added in the video that “You know, they could put a curse over the film that all who watch it would have demons provoke them. It could happen. We don’t know if it did, but it could.” Further on he raised questions in the video, adding “Why would you make a movie with the distinct outcome being people’s faith would be shaken or lost? That seems very much like something the Antichrist would do, or Satan.”Not only that but the priest also commented about how people should avoid watching the film as it could be “consecrated to Satan, and demons can be attached to the movie.” The video has since gone viral, and at the time of writing, it had around 90 thousand views.
