The devil is like a disease, will is power

The forerunner of exorcism. The meaning is here.

The excavation in northern Iraq was actually quite suspenseful at the beginning, but then it became loose and procrastinated, and the part of the psychiatrist's treatment was too mediocre. It wasn't until the young priest came to the door that it started to get interesting.

In some places, the atmosphere is well rendered. Those cabinets are flying, beds are hanging in the air, etc. Haven't there been any movies before?

The biggest bug is that the possessed demon is so powerful that it can do anything, such as changing things and flying cabinets, and was actually tied to the bed by a few ropes.

Koreans made a Korean version, Oriental Exorcism, "Black Priests", which was in the top ten at the box office that year. There is a market for such topics. However, Chinese mainland movies cannot be imitated, because Chinese movies and TV cannot have real ghosts.
