Dear David[a] is a 2023 American supernatural horror film directed by John McPhail, based on Adam Ellis' Twitter thread of the same name. It stars Augustus Prew as Ellis with Andrea Bang, René Escobar Jr., Cameron Nicoll, and Justin Long in supporting roles. The film is the third project between BuzzFeed Studios and Lionsgate Films. In the film, Ellis (Prew) retaliates against trolls; this results in a haunting from a demon-possessed spirit of a boy.

Dear David was released in theaters and to streaming and digital formats on October 13, 2023, by Lionsgate,[2] to negative reviews from critics.
