May I ask what it is you find so frightening about it? The head rotating 360 degrees? The pea soup? The deeeeeeeep voice in Regan?

I would put it on a list with The Blair Witch Project, Scream, The Ring and probably one or two I'm forgetting as being almost completely devoid of any scares whatsoever. At no point during any of those movies was I the least bit unsettled or scared.


Well kudos to you for being so edgy!!! If only we could all be so awesome

/sarcasm.

Was this based on Shirley Jackson's short story?

See, I'll never understand this - Getting offended because someone doesn't like your taste in movies, music, art, et cetera. I've had people tell me how much they hate my taste in such things and I could not care less.

No wonder half the people in this country can't discuss politics without having fits of hysteria.

I wasn't offended that you didn't like my taste in movies. However, I felt you were insinuating that my Catholic upbringing and my friends' beliefs somehow tainted us because we were afraid of a movie about being possessed. You seemed to approach my comment with an attitude that we were stupid for subscribing to the belief that the devil might exist.

I apologize if I read too much into it.
