A Revelation of Truth that Shocks and Frightens!

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2007)

The Hollywood ploys for "shock and awe" are employed in this film which has false starts to get the heart pumping and the adrenalin flowing. This movie has great impact because it may have great spiritual truth attached to it. The blasphemous, swearing, Godless mother who is perhaps cursed from the start, placing all her faith in man and science, is sure to meet her fate. She becomes fertile territory for attracting evil spirits and as a result her daughter is attacked by demons of high placement. This movie is clever in its research because it is based on actual events that took place in and around Washington D.C. in the 1940s (Georgetown). This movie really frightened me and it is because, I believe, that there may be a spiritual truth to what Jesus reveals about demons in the New Testament. This film will touch your unconscious mind powerfully because it is revealing secrets of the supernatural world that surround us daily in a spiritual warfare that we need protection from. This movie will haunt you long after viewing it and I think it would be unwise to watch this film more than once because there is a potential to stimulate an awakening curiosity of a prurient and depraved nature that could steer some people down a dangerous path. The two priests are well portrayed, (Max Von Sydow in particular). I would be cautious about watching this one. Good film though! A good one for Hallowe'en.
