Oh I have a life. Sorry you disagreed with what I did but she kind of put herself out there like that. You don't go into a birthday thread someone created for someone else and overshadow them. She was out of line. He let it happen, so I ****ed with her. She kept doing the same **** in all of my threads. She got what she deserved. I got it out of my system. I don't have a problem with her anymore. Let's not make a huge deal of it, okay?

I loved the ending when
she signed the spell to (maybe?) exorcise that demon at the end. I knew that her photographic memory would come in, and I never saw her using her phone to take the pics of the book. Or the planning of the gas in the grass. I like that they used a rewind in each Act to explain how things turned out the way they did. Man, that ending with the shot gun though, and unloading the shells? AAGHH!
I loved the way all her friends signed so comfortably with her. It was a way to bring in another character and as you pointed out, it was done with great respect.

I know! That look at the end left it open for a sequel. Tossing the book at the gate out in the open, not burning it or getting rid of it? How stupid? BUT…I think it's because she's not alone in there! All for a sequel. PLUS the look in her eyes tells you that it's still in her. So I guess not everything got pulled out of her.
It's kind of like how they ended
Autopsy of Jane Doe
with the toe twitch.

Sometimes, demonic possession can change you. Even though I haven't watched the film, people who survive demonic possession won't be the same as they were prior to DP. Demons usually take things with them when you expel them or temporarily destroy them.
Or I may be reading too much horror novels or watch too many horror films as well as other stuff.

That would be my thinking as well. That it takes a piece of you when they're exorcised, but definitely there's no way a person can possibly be the same after that experience.
The loss of memory may be a protective mechanism, but I just don't think it's as simple as "it's all over now" type of thing.

Yeah, memory loss is the most common effect and in some movies/books/documentaries, it was said there are times you'd see yourself doing things you have no control of, which makes them pretty guilty afterward and they would want to punish themselves in some way. Being conscious while being possessed would scar me for life. shudders

They don't remember because they weren't conscious during the possession. Kind of like when a coma patient wakes up not knowing what happened during the state of comotose. Or do they? Go fetch the information, will ya? -

Not always the case like you siad. It really depends on the movie and the type of demon inside the host. You'll have to watch more of those movies to understand what I'm talking about. I prefer when the demon is completely expelled from the host like in The Exorcist or in Evil Dead (2013) because I like a happy ending. I'll watch almost any of the demonic possession movies as long as they are good movies. I'm usually disappointed because the majority of those movies aren't good. -

I did watch plenty of movies and I agree, it depends on the demons and how it portray onscreen. Some exorcists failed to save the possessed victims like what happened in
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
and the tv series,
The Exorcist
, when that one exorcist was sent to Mexico to save a little boy who is possessed and the demon killed the boy by committing suicide in the flashback sequences. It was a brutal scene.
It had me curious is what happened to you when you get killed or die during the possession? Does the demon take your soul with the demon to hell or would you automatically be sent away from the demon that took the hold of you by some unseen positive force? I guess we'll never know.
