The Exorcist Series

M©+square SG

I've watched two installments of the film.

The latest Emily Rose sparked certain interest to know how many believers believes in spiritual warfare and possession and delieverance/exorcism.

Wondering how much will believers rate the accuracy of the accounts(in the films) in terms of doctrines and theology.

i have.. no ideas at all. Laughing the only exorcism i witnessed was the teachers praying out aloud back in sec school.

But interestingly, from wat i heard, The Exorcist (1970's) prior to the later one: The Beggining, all crew died one after another.. Rolling Eyes

How many shows are there altogether?

By the way, is this show R21? Coz my fren went to watch, its not horror like The Ring, but its damn disturbing, mentally

i dont think they should show to kids...

As far as i understand

There are all together four installments of Exorcist.

The Exorcist
The Exorcist II : The Heretic
The Exorcist III (Suppose to the titled as The Dominion)
Exorcist : The Beginning

Ya, it's rated M18 actually likely because it's notorious for the disturbing images and sensitive issues on religion and faith.
Yeah, it somewhat messes up the mind, and it's definitely not those movies which shock you and make you feel the thrill.
Kinda real.

Remember SG banned the movie 'Witchcraft' for it's explicit demostration and language?

Chin Eng SG

Can someone explain why the demons all have cool names like cain, baphomet, baal, judas etc etc

Why not have names like nim-bae, tee-kong, lau-kow Shocked

Why ang-moh exorcist always encounter english speaking demons and chinese exorcist encounter ah-beng demons. Shocked

Ito_^ SG

im juz happy chinese demons dun puke so much..

John The Baptist SG

Yes, we do have hokkien & chinese names etc. Like what u say, maybe Chinese demons like Chinese bcos they pray to Chinese gods? Mr. Green

John The Baptist SG

It's just a money making movie. So cant be 100% true.

John The Baptist SG

Horror films meant to frighten you out of your pants with whatever it takes. The more horrible the better. Mr. Green

sillyme SG

Is it because they usually manifest so that they are understood by people around? Easier to install fear that way.

As for the cool names... maybe that time they were not in fashion leh?
