Occult Scene


Did anyone else notice that their "pentagram" was not so much a pentagram as the Star of David? So Jewish people are evil now? I can't believe someone didn't catch that.

I first saw this film screened at the Nashville Film Festival in 2003, and the audience was in hysterics at that scene - you could actually feel the laughter spread throughout the audience as more and more people noticed it or had it pointed out to them: "What's so funny?" "They had a star-of-David pentgram!" Yeah...pretty funny. of course, if you asked someone from the church, you might receive an even scarier explanation, e.g. "well yeah, who killed our Lord, after all?"

If Jesus died for their sins, thereby giving everyone the chance to go to heaven, and the Jews are responsible for his death, doesn't it make sense to thank the Jews every chance they get?

Typical Christian logic. No offense to any Christians that may be reading this - I realise that most of you are decent, sane people.

I watched that on the campus of a Christian college, and we all had a good laugh at the ignorance of this mistake -- I assume that that is all that it was.

You give me joy that's unspeakable, Jesus I am so in love with You

The "pentagram" just proves how far away from reality these people are. But, as ironic the stab at the occult and the rape-drug-suicide are, just as sick and offensive were the scenes about the young man dying of AIDS, the desperate abortion girl and the bullied suicide boy.

You clearly missed the quotation marks, and with them, the irony.

The poster put it in quotes to show that s/he understood that this was a misusage of the word (i.e. they call it a "pentagram" but it wasn't). Quotation marks can be used to indicate that the writer realizes that a word is not being used in its current commonly accepted sense. Grammar 101. I've been teaching English for over 20 years, speaking it and writing it for over 40 (well, speaking for 43+!, but probably only using quotation marks for a good 35!). No need to believe me, though. It's easy enough to look up!

OK, I am done teaching for the day!

Actually, I don't really think it was intentionally supposed to be the Star of David, but they beleived it to be an actual pentagram. It's fully possuble they either can't tell the difference or simply didn't know - it's not that common, people confuse it a lot.

my jaw dropped when in the very beginning they're discussing what scenes to do at hell house and they show a kid in a black tee shirt wearing a star of david around his neck on a chain ...i'm sitting there thinking "what the hell?" thought i was going crazy at first, then they get to the whole "pentagram" thing and i realize it's NOT ME who's crazy after all! i never figured out whether i was disturbed or amused by this movie. ....my hubby is an agnostic and i bet him $50 he couldn't get thru the film and another $50 he couldn't get thru the first half hour without exploding into a raging torrent of scarcasm and loathing. he pleaded no contest to it after a few minutes. *giggles*
**edited to add**
anyone notice the kid in the "rally" scene with the transformers sticker on his guitar? harry potter and magic: the gathering cards are satanic, but robots from outer space who believe in the afterlife and/or are created by a force that has nothing to do with god (referring the the allspark) are cool with them? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Maybe it wasn't really a star of David, but a sigil of Solomon.
