    Looks like The Exorcist, 2005 version. Part of me wants to see it, part of me doesn't. I'm torn.

    Thank you for proving my point.

    Horror is a form of fiction, often borrowing from either fantasy or science fiction. But throw religion into it and suddenly people are shifted into the zone of near-100% gullibility. The Exorcist of course is the most handy example... it put numerous weak and unstable people in counseling/hospitalization. The phenomenon can be compared to the power of Voodoo in the Carribean. A witch doctor puts a "curse" on a victim, and the victim dwindles and literally dies from fear, because he BELIEVES he is cursed.

    Suspension of disbelief is the goal of every storyteller. But I see a trend towards the return of erroneous and backwards superstitions about the nature of otherworldly forces and their relationship to Man, of which this movie appears to be a part.
