The trailer is sobering to say the least. Does anyone know any of the background on this movie, and if the Catholic Church approved of it? Might not be a bad thing for our culture, perhaps it might make some folks reconsider or consider that there is evil. Does anyone remember the hysteria when the Exorcist came out? whatdoyoubelieve.warnerbros.com

Gail,

I haven't heard about the movie, but interestingly regarding evil and possible hysteria, there was a piece on the news last night showing witches in Romania who angered about being taxed in their fortune telling businesses had threatened to curse the city magistrates -- who now all wear something purple everyday to ward off the curse.

And a day earlier there was another piece on the news about some witsh or shaman in another country (in Southeast Asia) where to guard against a curse the townsfolk were required to conduct a marriage ceremony for two pythons.

Mass media now seems to be interested in reporting on these things, so we may well see more in the days ahead. Who knows what all this news may do to profit the movie sales.

There seems to be a major increase in the population of whackodiles -- perhaps related to the large numbers of abortions that have been seen in the past decades. Maybe the fetus is a natural arch enemy of the whackodile and man has disturbed the ecological balance of the world.

Pop-pop

Actually its an horror movie and I'd watched it with my school friends.
