Now Marsh will jump back to feature films as THR reports he will be helming the supernatual thriller The Vatican Tapes which centers on a series of events that unfold after a tape gets leaked from the Vatican displaying an exorcism that goes wrong.

Audiences are shockingly gullible - so many people thought that The Fourth Kind was based on a true story despite Universal really doing the bare minimum amount of work selling that aspect - and they continue to love thinking obviously faked stuff on YouTube is real, so it could go on for a while. via the Hollywood Reporter Here's an Islamic exorcism... caught on tape!

Stalked: What Alice Forgot, April 23, The Vatican Tapes
