A ghost story. It's really good to be able to shoot like this in the 1970s! I regret watching "Scream" first, which completely imitates the classic episodes in it, and the sinful Scream! The overall narrative of the plot is somewhat lengthy, and there are quite a few religious elements. After reading the film review, I realized that watching this film should take into account the background of the times in the United States at that time, the beat generation and the lack of belief. The atmosphere in the shooting is very well presented, with various sound and light, and the makeup is very good. Poor girl, spider crawling is really scary. Well written "Where did the devil come from and what does he want? The film doesn't say it, but he took over the body of a virgin - which is considered the most holy by Christians, which is undoubtedly a strong metaphor. It Desecrating icons, tending little girls to urinate in public, exposing their private parts in front of doctors, piercing their genitals with crosses. In a country where more than 70% of the population is Christian, this is the greatest insult - what could be more What is even more absurd when the Lord’s gift is trampled on? The unscrupulousness of the devil, the helplessness of the doctor, and the helplessness of the priest, the stark contrast of the three is as if the end of the world has come, but we have not seen the salvation bestowed by the Lord. What we depend on is actually given It is not our strength. Facing the devil, all the priest does is sprinkle holy water, read the Bible

Dr. Barringer, Clinic Director: It looks like a type of disorder that you rarely ever see any more, except in primitive cultures. We call it a somnambuliform possession. Quite frankly, we don't know much about it except that it starts with some conflict or guilt that eventually leads to the patient's delusion that his body's been invaded by an alien intelligence, a spirit if you will.
Chris MacNeil: Look, I'm telling you again and you'd better believe it: I'm not about to put her in a goddamn asylum! And I don't care what you call it! I'm not putting her away!
Dr. Barringer, Clinic Director: I'm sorry.
Chris MacNeil: You're sorry! Jesus Christ, 88 doctors and all you can tell me with all of your bullshit is...
Dr. Barringer, Clinic Director: There is one outside chance of a cure. I think of it as shock treatment. As I say, there is an outside chance...
Chris MacNeil: Will you just name it, for God's sake? What is it?
Male Doctor: Do you have any religious beliefs?
Chris MacNeil: No.
Female Doctor: What about your daughter?
Chris MacNeil: No, why?
Dr. Barringer, Clinic Director: Have you ever heard of exorcism? It's a stylized ritual in which rabbis or priests try to drive out the so-called invading spirit. It's pretty much discarded these days, except by the Catholics who keep it in the closet as a sort of embarrassment. It has worked, in fact, although not for the reason they think, of course. It was purely the force of suggestion. The victim's belief in possession helped cause it. And just in the same way, this belief in the power of exorcism can make it disappear.
