Also psychological manipulation in very high stress environments. I've seen it over and over and over in the evangelical circles I was raised in. Take someone with trauma or chronic pain/illness and start telling them its because they're being "afflicted" or "persecuted" by the agents of hell. When your whole worldview hinges on eternal salvation or eternal damnation, being "afflicted " by hellish forces makes many people panic which results in things like heavy weeping, screaming, hyperventilating, becoming irrational, etc. It may not be speaking with the voices of Legion or climbing up walls, but it's what the run of the mill exorcism looks like in evangelical circles and its very disconcerting to see people pushed past their psychological and physical limits "for the glory of god"

I think you could do some really cool stuff with Christian iconography and make some powerful horror with it. For example, that shot of Mary rising is super sick, but then it just devolves into something campy and dumb. For once, I would like to see an exorcism movie portray demons not as vulgar jerks, but as truly incomprehensible beings, and do the same for angels. Because if you think about it, if they existed, they would almost certainly be unfathomable to the human mind. People constantly meme about "Biblically accurate angels"-which I should clarify the wheel beings with a thousand eyes are not "angels" according to the Bible, they're something else (seraphim are not angels in the Bible, malakim are, which are men with wings)-but I think you could create a film that's truly haunting if you portrayed these things as nigh omnipotent, eldritch, entities.

If you're interested in modern exorcists, I recommend the podcast Oh No Ross and Carrie, specifically their episodes on Bob Larson (start with the episode "Ross and Carrie Get Some Exorcise: Teenage Exorcist Edition"). It's a very good investigative journalism podcast run by two ex-christians. The Bob Larson episodes go from ridiculous and funny to just downright horrifying. Bob Larson is an American exorcist who has been active for a very long time and he's honestly a total piece of shit. They attend a couple of his events and the shit he says and does is pretty bad. It's hard to believe that that kind of person is still out there making money off of vulnerable people

There are a couple people in the comments pointing out that modern exorcists always make sure to check for mental health issues first. While it might be true for some of them, it's also important to note that priests are not mental health experts. It also definitely does not apply to all exorcists. People like Bob Larson don't take those things into account which can become quite dangerous and lead people further into psychosis

Hey Amanda! Just wanted to suggest that you should def do a video about White lotus season 1&2! I think it's perfect chaos show for your chanel and I would love to hear what you think about it. Love you and keep being yourself ❤️
For the record, Catholicism does NOT believe that demons can meat puppet your dead body, or control you when you are sedated. But that's also because their demon lore is incredibly inconsistent, partly because they believe learning too much about demons will corrupt you, so it's better to be ignorant of how they work and just rely on God and being holy. Catholic Demonology is boring as shit and you shouldn't use it as a basis for a film. Use Occult Demonology and Medieval Demonology, it is more interesting. But also never cite Supernatural as a guide to any mythology ever please.
watching this in the cinema with some friends was one of my favourite experiences, whole crows was laughing
Ah, So in this movie about the cathlic Church, the little boy se$ually harasses people. And the poor church was tricked into doing the spanish inquesition. ... Thats a cinematic choice.
It wasn't dumb is more of a "been there done that" however Russel Crowe's character was really fun to watch.

I think the premise around the family being there dumb, and the rest being too similar to every other exorcist movie - but yeah, really enjoyed Russell in this
Imagine being the prop designer, making Spanish inquisition for the wall design in a big(?) Hollywood movie, and then posting it to Twitter or something. And hours later bombarded with replies from people excited for a video game adaptation called Dragon Age that you never heard of and definitely isn't working on.
Honestly, while this sounds just...so dumb, I *am* genuinely interested in reading some of Amorth''s books. I'm very much not religious, but it's always fun reading things from wildly different viewpoints, and that kind of stuff CERTAINLY qualifies. Also yes to a exorcist cinematic universe. I want like 20 of these, fast and furious style. I want to see how stupid things get.
The thing that annoys me the most about the American family going to the dad's abbey in Spain is that in a Catholic country like Spain you can't inherit a (formerly) religious building, THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS. 😂 Setting the whole thing in England would have made more sense because at some point in the past the Anglican Church DID give such properties to certain civilians (noblemen, high ranking military people). But I guess then we wouldn't have the montage of Russell C arriving by motorbike 😂

I know in England (or maybe it was Wales? Somewhere in the UK) there's that church that got turned into a Tesco but it had some kind of partial historical building status that meant they had to keep some of the Churchy Stuff, so there's like, stained glass windows behind the checkout
love his little Ferrari sticker on his scooter - good to know that the popes exorcist is a tifosi lol
The last exorcism and the blackcoats daughter will always be my favorite exorcism/demon possession movies
The sudden and smooth transition into the sponsor plug slapped me
This is the review I didn't know I needed, anout a movie I would never have heard about. Thank you 🖖
I feel like I really agree with you about it not mattering if the host body is just a corpse … because demons frequently seem to abuse their hosts in ways that would surely kill a mere non-possessed human. I mean, just take what has to be at least a top 3 favorite of turning ye olde head 180 degrees. Generally not a great move for the living. 🤷♀️
I'm like 4 months too late, but a guy in my church started watching this movie on a bus trip A Catholic guy I'm in tears, I feel so sorry for him
I had a weird relationship with this movie. Like I was looking for a recipe for pork chops and the ad that played for it was the trailer for this, I was so damn confused.
i'm late to the party, but i hope they make more, it was so stupid that i actually enjoyed it.
The only thing I think I will like is Amort just zooming by on a vespa like a madlad. Skipping this one.
I think “the books are good” is more of a joke/reference to be fair lol, when Tomas meets Amorth he says something about how he’s read all his articles but not his books, and Amorth is a little miffed and says something like “oh, well. The books are good.”
Great video! And that shirt looks wonderful on you!
Wow, how well you speak, very expressive and fluent 👌🏼👏🏻👏🏻🌺
mount your vespas soldiers we ride at dawn
The Cult was a great band. "Oh, the heads that turn/ make my back burn/ and those that turn/ make my back, make my back burn."
I’m so jealous you’re at Cannes! How do you get to go to all the festivals?!
Best thing to come out of this is the Wrestlemania match between Edge and Finn Balor
ngl "I'll pray for Guam." made me chuckle.
Maybe the real demons were the priests we made along the way?
I don't see how they keep making these demonic possession movies thinking there's an audience for it. Yes, the original The Exorcist is a classic, but that film was kind of a one hit wonder. The concept of it all is laughable.
