The Exorcist | A Christian Horror Film

- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- In this All Hallows’ Eve season, we see our culture externalize its love of death with their ritual veneration of evil. However, the horrific does exist. Demonic possession does exist. It is part of the human experience. And so we should expect Christians to make horror films that are good horror films. Pr. Jack thinks The Exorcist fits the bill.

I watched it alone and it honestly scared me into attending Church that week, after skipping the previous few years. The film certainly has heavy Christian themes.
The unearthed demon was Pazuzzu, the Chaldean demon of the southwest wind- which brought super-heated winds from Arabia. It was hung in windows facing this direction to drive away demons of pestilence. This is why Fr. Merrin looks at the small amulet and says, "Evil against evil."
I always find it interesting how very modern this film still feels because our reliance and worship of the medical, the psychological has actually increased from the year it was released instead of decreasing. Glad to see a shared view on that side of things, I write about it often.
That's right. Lack of fathers with their kids is very harmful.
That movie horrified me as a kid. I've never seen the special director's cut that came out in 2000. Being a non practicing Catholic I still cannot watch it.
I wasn't allowed to watch horror movies as a child. I think it's wise to be highly selective with what children watch, and would counsel any parent not to permit their child to watch any horror movies. I can imagine the movie would have been terrifying to watch as a kid. I didn't start watching horror movies until I was in my 30's, ha! And I'm still not a fan of the genre generally. But there are select few that I have found to be good.
I watch ska😍
That was a really good explanation. I definitely see more in the movie than I did before. You know the boy that the movie was based on recently passed away, and they revealed his name finally. The priest had always kept contact with him over many years, even though he otherwise remained anonymous.
Do you have any thoughts on the Exorcism of Emily Rose? It was based on a case of exorcism in Germany.
I didn't know about the boy who the movie was based on. That's interesting!
I've never seen the Exorcism of Emily Rose. Is worth watching? What are your thoughts on it?
@@jackshannon777 I enjoyed it. It's less subtextual you could say than the Exorcist, but it's well put together, and communicates a few challenging points about faith. The historical exorcism it was based on was itself controversial, and the woman's grave has become a pilgrimage site.
Somewhere here on YT is a chilling audiobook read by the author Peter Blatty .
8:50 / I don't believe the demon was "unearthed". It was meant to be (as is elements in the Iraq epilogue) foreshadowing that Merrin will face evil. Pazuzu arriving in Georgetown is more random than it having to do with the Pazuzu pendant being sent to a nearby museum.

The zodiac said it was his favorite comedy in his letters
Wow what an edgelord he was.
The Exorcist was *just* a movie.
The exorcism of Roland Doe... what the Exorcist was based on, most true story. The Exorcist actually happened to a boy in Maryland. Please just do your research. 💯

Sorry Lady Havanna
@@nativeatheist6422 No harm done... There's a many movies on exorcism, all of which my pastor-in-Spirit (RIEP) thoroughly researched. He said that he himself believed the best movies about exorcism were "The Exorcism of Roland Doe" (The movie The Exorcist was based on, the true story), "The Devil and Father Amorth" and there's also "The Pope's Exorcist"... But if them two don't make a believer-in-exorcism out of you, I don't think nothing would! I also hear of "The Pope's Exorcist", another one I hear worth watching but they warn you "Watch at your own risk" And I see just now scrolling through, there's another movie that came out this year called "The Exorcism", UGH, so many are trying their best to re-create the original 1973 Exorcist but it just ain't gonna be happening!!! However, I hear a lot of people like "The Exorcist III" out of them ALL and there's about 9 or 10 of them, this was the movie that showed the continuance of Father Karras, they'd like you to believe he DIED after falling down the stairs in the Exorcist but he didn't, he later turned up in the Exorcist 3 in a mental institution. In my personal opinion I don't think ANY of the Exorcist movies can top the 1973 original version. I also heard the one that recently came out "The Exorcist: Believer" was a total flop and there were supposed two more sequels to follow but I think the guy that created them gave it up. So sorry so long, just wanted to inform you! 😂🤣😁
There was no overt act of god in The Exorcist.
