I remember that the Buddha asked the Demon King, "You can't break the Dharma when I am alive; what will you do after I die?" The Demon King smiled: "Hey, I will turn into your own way and mess up your Dharma." .
Having said that, the battle between God and Demons in "The Last Exorcism" is nothing more than expressing this point of view. Please note that the devil is not a ghost, and the power of the devil is far superior to that of the ghost. In other words, compared with Sadako and the like are all pediatrics. Possession is the lowest level trick, in addition, he can also randomize the phase, make you adore and make you crazy. The point is that you don’t think he is a demon, but instead you think he is a Buddha, a God, and an angel. This is the power of the devil.
It is said that "The Last Exorcism" is a tribute to "The Exorcist", and apart from the twisted limbs, the plot and structure have been reborn, which is more interesting than I thought. I think this film is somewhat similar to "Omen" (it is recommended to watch the trilogy, which is more beautiful than the remake). It also includes an upcoming demon king, and also has a (a group of) close followers to protect the demon's body.
"The Last Exorcism" obviously weakens the power of God, and even expresses people's confusion about their beliefs through the protagonist priest, which is in sharp contrast with the demon's side. I think this obvious weakness and the life and death of the priest at the end are all for the sequel. It's not that God is not crazy, he can only appear after his real opponent comes out. This logic is like "Saint Seiya" starts with bronze and dark fighters, but it must not be the golden zodiac. You can only play with you if you have enough level!
Not scary, in fact, it has to be given 3 stars. The extra star is for the sequel.
It's interesting to watch such a movie on the birthday of Jesus Christ!
