Viewing Notes

Possession movies are not necessarily my thing. Sure, there are some good ones – The Exorcist, The Last Exorcism, etc. – but they just don’t terrify me. Maybe it’s because I was raised by an agnostic mother who prays to her brothers (living) when something goes wrong, and a father who rejected his Catholic upbringing for a more ‘there’s probably a god, but I’m not going to church’ approach to religion. And although I dabbled in Christianity myself in my early teens, I gave up magical thinking altogether a long time ago. But that doesn’t fully explain my apathy (mild apathy) toward possession films. I mean, I don’t believe in monsters or ghosts either, but there are plenty of those in my favorite films. Whatever the reason, a possession movie has a big hurdle to jump right out of the gate with me. It’s not an impossible hurdle. But it’s not insignificant either.
