The rest of it is hugely influential and well made, but its shock value has been quite diminished with the passage of time and religious horror isn't my flavor (other than the original "The Wicker Man", which is just brilliant now as it ever was).Tim Lehnererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410878013331168436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715711610648154390.post-64258828451093951592014-10-21T09:51:51.946-04:002014-10-21T09:51:51.946-04:00I'm hoping for an Exorcist-like experience, ob...I'm hoping for an Exorcist-like experience, obviously.

And I hope I was fair to everyone's talents being put to use in this movie--they're all good actors, directors, cinematographers, etc. It just didn't do anything for me and I found it to be silly verging on ridiculous.Tim Lehnererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410878013331168436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715711610648154390.post-90949046350877472112014-10-20T11:51:15.048-04:002014-10-20T11:51:15.048-04:00Hmm, I've always wanted to see this.
