audience reaction: The audience reacted as well as can be expected of a "scaredy-cat" audience watching a horror movie.
recommendation: It was a scripturally-inaccurate cheap entertainment for me. This is a "documentary-style" horror movie for fans of such a genre.
spoiler alert! When Isabella walked out of the mental hospital, she did so well ahead of her tag-along cameraman; but, as she walked down the steps, the cameraman was already on the sidewalk filming her from behind--Oopsy! The Dog Scene is the only scary scene in this movie, and simply because of its unexpectedness. In the Basement Scene, when the possessed young woman, Rosa ( Bonnie Morgan ) arched her back, while she was hemorrhaging, some of her blood splashed on the lens of the overhead camera--I've heard of "squirters" but this one takes the "bloody" cake! Ha, ha, ha. I can't believe that Isabella asked the priest, "David, what the f-ck are you doing?" Clearly, she was already possessed by the Devil to be so disrespectful toward the priest! LOL. Father Ben ( Simon Quarterman ) was cussing-up a storm--'probably was already possessed, too! Father Ben knew that Isabella was already possessed. So, why did he not restrain her? Why did he put her in the car? Why did the driver not pull the car over to the curb at the first sign of a struggle in the back seat? Why were the airbags not deployed? The Fictitious Persons and Events Disclaimer at the end of the trailing credits just proved that therossifiles.com is a bogus site!
fyi: In the basement where a possessed young woman, Rosa, was tied to her bed, the camera switched to an overhead shot and, from what I saw briefly, I wanted to yell out: Camel Toe! Ha, ha, ha--snort!
Father Ben said, "I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God." While it might be true for Father Ben to say that he'd "seen" the Devil on a number of occasions because the whole world is Satan's principality ( Matthew 4:8-9 ), it was wrong of him to lead us to believe that he had seen God and lived to tell about it! As a priest, he should have known better than to say such a lie!!!
Exodus 33:20 "You cannot see My Face for no one may see Me and live." New International Version
To Jesus Christ, His Apostles and their Disciples, Infant Baptism was an abomination before God! None of them baptized babies! Please allow me to repeat what I just said: NONE OF THEM BAPTIZED BABIES! This practice is a Roman Catholic invention. Jesus Christ, His Apostles and their Disciples only baptized individuals who had met the "adult age" requirements for Bar/Bat Mitzvah! In other words, a male had to be at least 13 years of age to be baptized; and a female had to be at least 12 years of age to be baptized. The reason for this is in 1st Corinthians 7:14 "For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean but, as it is, they are holy." New International V ( Hence, no need for infants, toddlers and underaged children to be baptized! ) [ There is a "little technicality" attached to this provision, but this is neither the time nor place for me to engage you in such a digression. ]
Re-read my blog on THE LAST EXORCISM ( 2010 ) to learn what The Holy Scriptures have to say about these so-called modern-day "exorcisms".
Technically speaking, the Roman Catholics are not Christians at all, they are Marians, in the sense that they have supplanted the Divine Authority and Power of Jesus Christ as Our Savior with a belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, has some kind of intercessory ability!!! A priest interviewed outside of the Vatican in the documentary movie, RELIGULOUS ( 2008 ) bemoaned this lamentable idolatrous fact. She does not have such an intercessory ability at all--Period! Yet, they ( the Marians ) persist in the false notion that since Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the King of kings, then Mary, His mother, must be the Queen of Heaven. Ergo, the FAULTY LOGIC that Mary has Divine Authority and Power. But ... read what Jesus Christ had to say about His mother in Luke 11:27-28 and in Matthew 12:47-50. Also, please read what is said about the Queen of Heaven in Jeremiah 7:18-20 and in Jeremiah 44:17-29. Finally, read what Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, had to say about her relationship to God, The Father, in Luke 1:46-48. The Roman Catholic faith has the most demonically-possessed followers of all religions, it seems to me, simply because THEY ARE NOT IN GOOD GRACES with Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior! Gee, I wonder why ....
word of advice: Read the Bible! Then, read it again! That way, nobody can fool you into believing in something that has no scriptural basis to it at all!
tidbits: I had my quarterly dental cleaning today, first thing in the morning, at 9:00 a.m. Then, I went to Benicia, CA, to pick-up my paycheck and deposit some money at BofA and at Chase Bank. And I had to go back to the Fed-Ex Store on Admiral Callaghan Lane here in Vallejo, CA, because the Name and Address labels that they printed-up for me didn't come out to my exact specification and to my complete satisfaction.
While I was at the Fed-Ex Store, I was treated to an unexpected but pleasant surprise: The beautiful daughter of the owner of the Chinese buffet here in town, Empire Buffet, walked in. She had been gone for many months, the reason why I haven't blogged about pigging-out at this buffet restaurant for so long.
Hi! Somebody told me that you went back to China, I said.
"I did. Then, I went to New York and came back. And I went to New York again and came back," she answered.
Lucky you, I commented. ( I hope that she didn't go to Times Square to watch the Ball drop only to have some snot-nosed, slobbery pervert give her a cold and flu New Year's Eve kiss! )
Then we got to talking for a bit. We formally introduced ourselves to each other--finally, and about time, too! And I learned that she is from the Southern Province of Fujian, in China.
Hey, maybe I'm related to her by blood on my father's side--distantly, I hope, because I've got the "Hots" for her. Most of the Chinese who settled in the Philippines, through the centuries, were mostly from Southern China.
I had to leave before her. And as I stepped-out of the Fed-Ex Store, I said to myself that I should ask her out on a date. Then, I saw her mother waiting for her in the passenger seat of her car. She drives a Lexus sports coupe! ( And I own a 1994 Geo Metro and a 2001 Hyundai Accent. Sad but true. ) I just looked at that fancy, expensive car that just dashed my wishful, romantic hopes and said to myself, I probably paid for the monthly on that with my frequent dining at their restaurant! Oh, I should point that out to her and get her to reciprocate by going out on a date with me. Otherwise, her Lexus is gonna get repossessed! LOL
Then, I went to Vacaville, CA, to eat lunch,first, at Tin-Tin Chinese Buffet before going to the Fairfield, CA, cineplex to see the TIN-TIN I-Max 3-D movie because of the obvious Name Tie-In. But I ate too much and I had to use their "facility" to relieve myself! Because of this, by the time that I arrived at the theatre, the TIN-TIN movie had already been playing for about 10 minutes. I will have to retry this tie-in attempt on another day next week, the determined movie blogger that I am! ( Ahh ... I already saw this movie, by the way--but without the tie-in! So, there .... )
I just drove back home and took a nap to allow my system time to digest all of the food that I ate for lunch.
Finally, it was time to get up and to go see this movie.
While I waited for my turn to buy a ticket at the box office, the woman ahead in line of me told the box office clerk that she wanted to buy two tickets for herself and for her little son for the movie, THE DEVIL OUTSIDE. The clerk laughed and her son laughed at her, too. She didn't know why they laughed at her so she repeated herself. They laughed at her again. Hell, I laughed at her, too. Finally, her son said that "... it's THE DEVIL INSIDE, not OUTSIDE." Then, she found out why ....
Before the movie started, a public service message was shown on-screen about not being rude and inconsiderate by talking or texting while the movie played. But, as soon as the auditorium darkened, cellphones here and there lit-up the whole damn place! I will have a word with management the next time that I come here and make sure that they enforce their policy! Because, frankly, I am tired of being in the same room with a bunch of rude and inconsiderate people!!! But, I guess it is just the Vallejo crowd who are just a bunch of low-lifes!
After the movie, one of the patrons said to one of his friends, in reference to therossifiles.com, "You better not go to that sh-t, you're a christian, brother!" Here's yet another example of an idiot who's ignorant of the biblical fact that a True Christian has power and authority over evil spirits and demons and is actually in command of them! ( Again, read the Bible to learn this spiritual fact. )
As I stood in the hallway looking at my movie notes, a security guard--where was she when all of those cellphones lit-up the auditorium?--came and asked one of the patrons, "Was it a scary one?"
The young female patron answered, "No, it was stupid as f-ck!"
I second that opinion.
