[edit] I want to see this movie

This looks like a very good horror movie and I would like to see it. It looks really scary!

Fie and humbug. It'ss all just carefully sculpted Catholic propaganda, just like all the other exorcist films. -Alex 12.220.157.93 09:16, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't think the Catholic Church is really happy with this kind of film. Its true that the hero was a priest who risked his own freedom to expose the truth about the devil, but it also showed the Catholic hierarchy as being cowardly. They sent this hotshot lawyer (Laura Linney) to get him to cop a plea bargin. Instead he refused the deal and insists on telling the entire story during the trial.

It may be controversial to take Emily off of her medication and perform an exorcism but it certainly was not something the Church would want people to see. The modern church actually frowns on exorcism. -Piercetp

Actually this is untrue. Refer to northern italy. The church simply frowns on exorcism in areas where people don't like it any longer. Close to their home turf, they support it.

[edit] "Work Out Your Salvation With Fear and Trembling"

From what line is this quote? I can't seem to find it in the Bible...

-->>Philippians 2:12

"A church commission later declared that Anneliese Michel had not been possessed, but superstition carried the day; her corpse was exhumed – eleven and a half years after her burial – to confirm that it had decayed as would have been expected if she’d not been possessed. You see, if she’d really hosted demons, her body would have been preserved, as Bram Stoker told us; I’m surprised you didn’t know that. There is now, more than twenty years after Anneliese Michel died, a new Exorcism Rite, which is prescribed for worldwide use. I’m sure it works just as effectively as the old system. That’s progress, right?"

[edit] Cleanup

The article was way too long and corny, some of it read like those RL Stein kiddy horror books and the trivia section was mind numbing. we don't need long explanations of who Nero, Cain etc are when the article already links to their individual pages. By the way, discussion pages are to discuss the article itself, not the film. Join a movie forum for that. Daigo 14:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

The link from Legion should be directed towards the article on that instance of demonic possession in the New Testament, not the Roman military unit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.37.233.201 (talk) 04:09, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Biological checkup

Somewhere in this move, don't remember where exactly but I think it was after the attempted exorcism where the existance of two sets of vocal cords is mentioned, I checked the "vocal cords" article here on wikkipedia but there was no mention of it, so I ask: Does humans really have two sets of vocal cords? 81.228.148.16 13:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

There is, but they are usually called the ventricular cords. To my knowledge they have no effect on speech. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.121.5.129 (talk) 10:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Explanation of edits

From the infobox and categories I have deleted all descriptions of this film as being anything but English-language. A few lines of dialogue - in any film - spoken in a language other than the primary one used do not qualify it to be categorized in the other languages. IMHO, to say this film is Greek-language or Aramic-language or Latin-language or Hebrew-language when they are heard only briefly is ludicrous and not in keeping with the purpose of defining a film by language.
