The movie begins with lead character Victor and his pregnant wife in Haiti. She is severely injured in a sudden earthquake and the doctors tell Victor that he must choose between saving her or the baby.
13 years later, Victor's daughter Angela and her best friend Katherine go into the woods to perform a ritual to communicate with Angela's dead mother and disappear for several days. When they are found, they begin acting spooky. Katherine's religious parents keep her at home, while Victor takes Angela to the hospital, where his friend Nurse Ann becomes convinced that Angela is possessed and tells Victor to seek Chris MacNeil, who has become a specialist on different forms of exorcism. Chris sees Angela at the hospital and later visits Katherine at her home. Katherine's parents are in a trance, and while Victor is distracted waking them up, possessed Katherine attacks Chris, reveals herself to be a vessel of Pazuzu and stabs her eyes out. Chris spends the rest of the movie in the hospital.
Victor and Katherine's parents approach a priest, an pastor and a witch doctor to conduct a double exorcism. but the priest refuses to participate. The demon kills the pastor before the priest changes his mind and comes in to help the witch doctor and Nurse Ann (who is a former nun) weaken the demon. It reveals that Victor chose his wife over his daughter all those years ago, but she died anyway, and the doctors saved the baby. He has lived with this guilt ever since.
The demon can no longer hold on to the girls and forces Victor to choose between Angela or Katherine. Victor refuses, so Katherine's father chooses Katherine. But it was to choose who dies, not who lives. Katherine's soul is dragged to Hell, and Angela is seemingly freed from the demon's influence. Movie ends with Reagan reuniting with Chris at the hospital (they had been estranged ever since Chris wrote a book about Reagan's possession) and Angela flashing an evil smile, revealing she is still possessed.

AI is demonic
How does one tell whether a black child is possessed or not?
blue eyes.
he stops listening to rap, goes to school, behaves
He said "possessed," not "impossible."
They speak in chirps.
>pazuzu again
THE DEMON WASN'T PAZUZU. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills
In the original? It most certainly was.
pazuzu just showed up to see that shit go down, did he?
Wasn't Pazuzu a ward against demons in the Sumerian myth?
The idea was that he was so evil that he scared off other demons if you kept his statue around
Linda Blair has a cameo then?
Yeah. Ellen Burstyn is there for 5 minutes
tl;dr: it's generic horror slop with the exorcist brand on it
Christianity is le bad?
There are too many shitskin christians for me to believe it's good
The movie doesn't say that just that there are other religions too" which fricking betrays the concept of the exorcist
Only rabbis can do a real exorcism.
>just that there are other religions too
ahaahahahahahahahahahahahaaaa
jfc christcucks are truly braindead
For wanting a movie based on a christian story to be christian?
Idk I liked the Bollywood version of Fiddler on the Roof.
Unfair comparison, anything indians make is kino
>upside down cross
OW
>You robber of trans rights! You author of racism! You corruptor of social justice, and equality, and diversity!
Was this scene really necessary?
The original isn't scary either, not even for most Christian denominations. You gotta be part of the churches that believe in demons and exorcism, or just find some kid saying curse words horrifying, to find the movie scary.
Ok zoomer
>You gotta be part of the churches that believe in demons
kek
To clarify, belief that demons exist is pretty universal among Christians; that they are actively INVOLUNTARILY possessing people today is not, especially having the ability to possess Christians. Southern Baptists at least think that demonic posession is only something that like pagan Pacific islanders would have to worry about, or actively going out of one's way to try to summon one, versus Catholics and co who seem to believe that a kid acting bad = le demonic posession, call the exorcist.
>versus Catholics and co who seem to believe that a kid acting bad = le demonic posession, call the exorcist.
have you even watched the movie you're criticizing?
>especially having the ability to possess Christians
Chris and Regan weren't Christians lmao.
>Catholics and co who seem to believe that a kid acting bad = le demonic posession, call the exorcist
The funny thing is that this is exactly what happened in the case the Exorcist was loosely based on. It was a combination of a shitty kid acting out for attention and realizing he could really rile people up by pretending to be possessed and some clergy who were way, way too willing to buy into it for whatever reason.
I'm an atheist and that movie has always scared me. It's just a good movie.
Yeah Hereditary and texas chainsaw massacre suffers from this discipline too tbh they sux too
Where's the PoC representation and white man bad in all of this?
Just saw the movie and there surprisingly was no race stuff. I thought the true demon was gonna be racism but wasn't even a hint of it, actually all about different groups of people coming together
so is there gonna be a sequen then
SKIBIDI DOP DOP
>Angela flashing an evil smile, revealing she is still possessed.
Oh great. The Exorcist reduced to a generic cheap modern horror with a shitty edgy non-ending.
That wasn't in the version I saw, it just cut after they hugged
Le Exorcist but with no Exorcist or actual Exorcism
>It reveals that Victor chose his wife over his daughter all those years ago, but she died anyway, and the doctors saved the baby. He has lived with this guilt ever since
wait is this what people meant when they said the film had an "anti-abortion" message?
blacks cant be catholic

Poor white girl
The other poster is correct. How can anyone find this scary if they don’t believe in exorcisms? I find it easier to believe in aliens than demons.
it's easier because alien movies make sure to follow 1 simple rule: don't make the fricking main characters passive agents. why is it that when it's a horror movie it's cool to throw literally every basic principle of story telling to the fricking wind?
demon movies are GAY AND moronic because it's just these pathetic normalgays getting kicked around by essentially an omnipotent, malicious, unstoppable force. where the frick is GOD in these shit, israelite movies? so in all of these, literally all of them, demons are real and have power over the earth and god just isn't? i'm not trying to go on some christgay tirade here, just pointing out that in alien movies - the MC and his team get some guns or hacker gadgets and deal with shit, or they are running and hiding (in between guerrilla operations toward the movie's end of run time of course); whereas in demon movies...

10/10 based and true. Frick all these Black person Hispanic horror slops.
I’m glad I read this. I’m glad my post did this. I’m not alone
genuinely based. If demons are capable of being these malevolent beings with sticks up their asses, divine beings like angels should also make an entrance to fight them off. It just can't be humans vs evil all the time
imagine typing all this moronic shit out
kys
i have completely fricked this post, i was a lot drunker when writing it and my autism demands i make it cleaner before i get too fricked up again. i'm trying to make several points here
>alien movies tend to have active characters - they react to stimuli and external events, but make decisions, make mistakes, make ground toward the goal set forth by the plot while overcoming obstacles
>demon/ghost movies tend to have passive characters - they react to stimuli and external events... and that's pretty much it. they're just slowly walking towards dark corners and slightly opened doors and getting jump scared the whole movie
>having a literal deus ex machina in a demon movie does NOT suddenly make the characters active, they would still be passive, but at least then the movie would be more logical, and at least actually novel for once
>alien movies are more believable because, fundamentally, on a story telling level, they are a more complete package and thus don't trip so many "annoying bullshit" bells in your head. the enemy is external, the enemy is material (whether that be literally, as in tangible and visible, or in the sense that something can just be fricking DONE about them), the enemy has a goal; conversely then, the human characters have goals, they have a means to struggle, they take action, and they succeed/fail throughout their advancement of the plot toward the ultimate goal by their actions
>demon movies are less believable because the enemy doesn't really WANT anything and never usually implies or makes clear what they want and what they get out of having it; along with that, the characters are 2d, 1-note slates like "loving dad." "idiot boy son," "dumb wife," "victim daughter," and "dog" that just want to "be left alone" (ie have no real stakes or motivation beyond "waaah im a horror movie character and i dont wanna die") and have zero means to fight back.
>demon movies are not just less believable, but further, fricking DUMB, because the setting of the world is always this grimdark, nonsensical shithole where all-powerful, intangible, nebulously motivated monster-ghosts (that were just fricking human old ladies or nuns or pedophiles or whatever at one point) have a complete monopoly over this magic or supernatural force and seemingly rule the planet without anybody to stop them but some vatican reject medium who has literally a 0% success chance because if it worked the movie would be over +45 minutes too early.
>because of the combination of a dumb setting, and the seemingly fundamentally shit design principles used in horror movies (passive agents; sheep, victims, actors there solely to pop squibs and scream in horror, etc), all of these movies end up being extremely trite, boring copies of each other. many of them don't even respect your time, the story, or the characters and have the monster come back anyway for absolutely no reason and "win," something i can't name happening once in an alien movie.
finally, do alien movies have deus ex machinas? yes. the common cold snubbing the invasion in war of the worlds. the mothership in independence day taking 90's earth usbs. the aliens having crippling weaknesses and an odd penchant budgeting for useless infantry instead of their unstoppable flying killing machines in battlefield los angeles. i could go on. but these movies EARN IT and they could just as easily be written to not have these nice little bows that tie up the movie quickly after all the real action and character development has been done. active characters facing active threats and real shit happening. two very similar concepts, otherworldly, unknowable forces attacking humans - but one is total slop, and one is often very good, in terms of average genre quality.
frick you non reader Black person. check and be checked b***h
I love you man.
i love you too. i love everybody, even this c**t
I saved all your posts by the way. To notepad on my phone. I have saved hundreds of posts I liked.
wow that makes me feel good man thank you. i do the exact same shit too, there's always a gem in every thread if you're willing to get your hands in the muck
You’re welcome and I agree. I’ve found a lot of good things on here.
>>ah yes here it is page 1 result 1, "the murder-rape-cannibalizing of delores scaryoldnamethia" who was an incest baby witch of satan who hung herself here and now for some reason inexplicably can do everything ghosts can do PLUS MORE!!!! OHHHHH SHIIIDDDD!!!!!
zoz accurate
None of this applies to The Exorcist, I remember even Blatty saying it wasn't a horror story
i have honestly never watched the exorcist. i was always told it was the "scariest movie ever" when i was a kid and now it's been so long i'd almost rather not watch it and just let it remain this monolithic pillar of demon horror in my mind. i will give that movie credit wherever it's due and add for context i'm mainly talking about the drek that has been filling theaters and the horror section on every streaming service for the past 10 years or so
I never cared about it being scary, it's just a really good story, plus the actors and sfx guys did an amazing job. The problem with the sequels and associated stuff they make based on it is that they completely miss the point that it isn't a horror story per se but a thriller dealing with hope and the recovery of lost faith. I think Blatty struggled with the problem of evil and it shows in his work.
I feel like I just watched every possession horror movie that was ever made
>Implying they aren't the same thing
When is the sequel to the The Pope's Exorcist released?
I’m surprised these movies get made anymore considering the only way that they ever write how to beat a possession is by using gods personal tears or something. Very pro religion most times
Jesus' blood and tears are useless against The Nun
I bet the real Jesus is pissed, homie has been jobbing for like 4-5 movies now when in reality any of his confirmed artifacts would blast Satan, much less any of the lesser demons
It's like an auto-win for the Catholic Church but they don't just dole them out or spam them like candy
But Jesus blood btfo the Nun it both movies
It didn't BTFO her out, she came back to do sequels
IRL pasta exorcists would mog any malevolent spirit or even Satan himself if they had an actual vial of Jesus' blood
They point this out all the time in Le Pope's exorcist
>so Katherine's father chooses Katherine. But it was to choose who dies, not who lives. Katherine's soul is dragged to Hell
Triple KWAB
not gonna watch cuz that shit sounds GAY as frick plus 24% on rotten? yikes!!!
You just know that Red Letter Media is going to suck this movie off like they did with Halloween Ends.
Mike Stoklasa will make a Plinkett Review calling it a secret genius movie.
Damn I got bored reading the synopsis, no wonder this movie was panned
>Pazuzu was the representation of and had the power of the southwestern winds
Oh no! Not...the southwestern wind! Anything but that! What a jobber. I could body this homosexual ass mohawk demon.
Wait so an innocent little girl goes to hell forever at the end after doing literally nothing wrong? That's the kinda shit that made drag me to hell a comedy lmao
Yup she never even did anything bad at all. Kinda helps sell the fact the Demon is just messing around, same kid has a scene of her touching herself in a church
>touching herself in a church
Who would even think of a scene like this?
Chatgpt slop
Use your imagination next time Black person
And kindly have a nice day
