I think backmasked vocals are bullshit. Imagine all the work it would take for singers, mixers and producers to carefully craft songs so that they say something different when played backwards (and more often than not, listened to very carefully). Also, the "messages" are often generic evil stuff and grammatically incorrect; wouldn't it make more sense to advertise products to get more sales or something?
There are some coincidences that are staggering, amusing or both... a decade or so ago this Spanish Christian rock band had a verse in one of their songs said "search for the devil, look in the sect" in reverse... but they're just that, coincidences.
As for movies, that one may be possible. But Tyler Durden-style frame splicing never took off, and the other, more subtle methods are also subject to not being noticed in the first place. Did you see the starry sky spelling "sex" in The Lion King? Likely not until seeing it in a YouTube video that pointed it out... and more importantly, did you feel like doing sexy things after watching the movie?
Discuss.
