Is this actually a still from a movie anyone here has seen?

Some online commenters suggested the cloaked person was performing a Pagan ritual.
If that is true, there’s no reason to feel threatened, according to Heather Darnell with Piedmont Pagan Pride.
A Pagan person may make offerings while wearing a cloak, but there would be nothing violent about it, she said, and it likely wouldn’t be done in an apartment complex during the day.
“We do it privately. It’s not for publicconsumption,” she said.
Darnell speculated that the photos were either staged or potentially the act of someone new to Paganism.
If it is a hoax, Darnell said she finds the photos offensive.
“It looks like someone is deliberately trying to create havoc,” she said. “I think it’s pretty ugly and irresponsible if someone is just trying to get attention.”

Must be a slow social media day. Always amazing how people give way too much attention over, well, nothing.

That was the first thing that came to my mind as well: someone cosplaying The Emperor.

It's totally real. There is a magical dark person doing strange rituals it's the end of the world.
