One major story flaw


Because this movie deals with the supernatural, it is kinda hard to spot story flaws because things don't have to make sense. However, when the evil spirit is sent packing, all the people who were healed were unhealed. So if this was the case then Michael Elliot should have dropped dead. If it was the evil power that saved him from the bus accident in the beginning of the movie, he should have died.

For some reason I can't take Edward Furlong serious. Not sure why he is in so many movies.

I love Edward Furlong. I think he's a great actor and I love his movies. I also love his smile. It has this forever-young thing to it.

I completely agree. Why didn't Michael die? When he starting foaming and the "evil" left his body, I thought that was what was happening at first. That he was meeting his fate and was going to die. But, then instead, we get really cheesy special effects, etc.

As for Edward Furlong, he used to be pretty danged good. "American Histroy X" for example. But he was hard to look at in this movie.

I can see your point but I think he actually survived the bus accident without the aid and that he was unconscious and they got into it and pretended to let him live. Since they didn't really cause his death that is why I feel he survived. Too bad the movie didn't make that clear somewhere.

yeah see i don't think he was ever helped in the first place. because he didn't act all crazy like the others...i mean he acted weird and obsessed...but i don'tknow not like the others....

The worst day is the one in which we have not laughed.

1. The accident wouldn't have happened without demonic influence-It wasn't his time to die in the first place.

2. Perhaps it wasn't even the demons that saved him in the accident-maybe it was God who saved him.

I suspect that demonic/satanic spirits can not (or will not) kill people without judgement by God as they are either unable to, or unwilling to pay the penalty that God would exact on them.
