somewhat similar to THE EXORCIST?

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2005)

Has anyone thought that this film had kind of a similarity to The Exorcist-(besides knowing that Ellen Burstyn stars in both disturbing films)They both have a horrifying experience to go through and the extreme disturbing images. Which is better? Exorcist is the ultimate cult classic (along with other titles). Requiem is a flat out masterpiece. I've noticed a few things that had a similarity to both films EXAMPLE: The dresser in Exorcist and the Refrigerator in Requiem (they both chase her). But that's just what I thought does anyone agree with me? Also In The Exorcist when the priests are exorcising Regan screaming "the power of Christ compels you" and there's like a 2 second shot where Regan's leg gets cut. In Requiem at the scary ending, Marion is going to that sex party and she's walking down the aisle then the camera does a close up. 2 second shot of a paper that says "work" on it and the pen marks the box and then another scary blue image shows up (my favorite part)
