Ripoff of the Exorcist... jewish version


Good acting, but it looks like a ripoff of the Exorcist... jewish version. The possessed girl was a Linda Blair look alike... It had its moments, but I could not helped myself comparing it constantly with the Exorcist.

I'm sorry that you have so little self-control.

She looks nothing like Blair.





'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings.

Well, The Exorcist is the definitive demonic possession film. Every demonic possession film since owes a massive debt to it. Comparisons can't really be avoided.

reply

it's the story line of possession .. of course it's going to seem like the same story.

Comparing her to Linda Blair's looks... Linda Blair had WAY bigger tits (boobs)!!!

And "The Possession" was watered down and "The Exorcist" was pretty much no bars held!

reply

Well it's based on a true story so.... She looked a little like Linda Blair but not that much.

reply

She does look a little bit like Lina Blair. She's around the same age Blair was when she did the Exorcist and she has that cute little girl thing going on: you know, the cute little face with the turned-up nose.

The budget couldnt afford the litres of pea soup needed.
I've seen possession films the rite..the exorcism of so so ..etc but this crap is close to ripping off the Exorcist.

reply

Well, demons are real and both The Exorcist and The Possession were based on real events. The Possession was loosely based on real events surrounding a specific Dybbuk box. So not a rip off, just another possession and story being told of it.
