Really move people's hearts

The difference between this movie and other horror movies is that other horror movies are too divorced from reality. Although horrible, they make me feel far away; because they didn’t use too many special effects, the exorcist was too ordinary and too close to reality. So that I believe that the story is happening right before my eyes.

The conversation between the priest and the devil is not only a battle, but also a psychological struggle. And how many horror movies can allow the good and evil sides to have such a complicated exchange of ideas? Think of the expressions of Sadako in Japanese horror movies. Compared to the priest in the exorcist, it is so stiff and pale, and the demon like Sadako is so inferior compared to the demon in the exorcist. , How simple.

There are not many scary images in this movie. The opposition between medicine and religion, the opposition between men as priests and mortals, and the opposition before and after the little girl is possessed by the devil, leave us more to think about later.

My feeling after watching the movie was "I have already fought with the devil", nothing terrible. But when I recalled the movie one day after watching it, I became scared.

    The only film at the 6.22 Shanghai International Film Festival, I was alone in the big light, with strangers and men and women beside me. The huge screen couldn't resist my fear. It was the first time I watched an old movie in the cinema. This feeling made me make up my mind to be sure next year. To grab a ticket.
