Your two cents is worth exactly that, two cents.

I read your review and it is littered with grammatical errors. The one that stood out to me the most was the failure on your part to italicize the title of the film. When referring to the film The Nightmare you should italicize it like this: The Nightmare. You should proof read your work before posting.

That aside I agree that there should have been a medical side presented. Anecdotal evidence is not enough. However, I do think you are overreacting in thinking the documentary takes a "Jesus Saves" direction. One of the interviewees specifically states that she indeed tries to pray to god and it doesn't help. So I think it that respect they documentarian does indeed take an objective stance of the spiritual aspect of the issue.

I also feel that they should have presented some more historical background on the phenomenon. They seemed to glaze over it slightly but did not touch on it nearly enough. However, I did find the stories fascinating as I have heard similar stories to this for years. You really should go back and finish the film as it is bad form to express an opinion of a film without even watching the entire thing.
