I lump possession flicks in with haunting flicks in that they usually just suck. Slasher films are generally cool, but neither is scary to me. In fact, I think I'd prefer to be dealing with a slasher or a demon over a deranged family of cannibal hillbillys or something along those lines... While we don't see too many people getting possessed or stalking people from behind a mask, the fucked up weird hillbillys ARE out there. Small towns around Minnesota & Wisconsin creep me out, but if you go way out in to the boonies, you will certainly meet some fucked up folks.

As a scientist (no really, I went to University, got an honours in Environmental Sciences); i would suggest possession could partly be true, on a psychological level, eg a person undergoes some form of trauma, leading to hallucinagenic episodes, changes to personality, depression could be thought of as possessed.

Also remember that in certain periods of man's history often sufferers of disease may well have been thought of as being possessed, eg leprosy, epilepsy etc..

Oh and I prefer slasher films.

Those are some examples of things that could be mistaken for possession, but they aren't actually possession.

apparently Ms Blair didn't want to talk about The Exorcist at all and the only thing people brought her to sign was - copies of the exorcist.

she got a kick out of the fact that i brought Repossessed..

plus it had canadian content (Leslie Neilson)
