Deliver Us From Evil, a preview review!

Yep....another demon possesion movie!
Just when you have had enough of this stuff, the detailed and well written book by Police Officer/Demonologist Ralph Sarchie from my good old home town of NYC originally entitled "Beware The Night" has been hollywoodized into this creepy spin based on his cases with what he calls "The Demonic".
The preview above speaks for itself about the plot of the story....Ralph, a NYPD officer, starts to get cases here in the Bronx about some people who are apparently possessed by a demon or demons. I can already tell how far this is from the book and that the book is more real than this. In this film it appears that Ralph is portrayed as a regular police officer who is skeptical and doubtful about something spiritual going on....that of course changes throughout the film as his own family start to become victims of supernatural forces beyond his control.
Needless to say, the real Ralph Sarchie, based on the book, was not a skeptic or at least did not come across as one. His strong affiliation with various Exorcists, including the famous Jesuit Malachi Martin...God rest his soul...brings great credence to his tales in the book. But this preview...
This Preview?
I'm doubtful. There have been many hair raising supernatural tales that were based on allegeed true events, the granddaddy of them all The Exorcist (1973) included. We also have The Amytiville Horror, the Exorcism of Emily Rose and the Rite are other examples. I'll wait to see this film when it's released and I'll give you my true review. However, I would recommend the book. I couldn't put the thing down and finished it in two days! Amazing.

Well, what do you think? For me, I can tell you that I like it! It seems, dark, serious, and no joke! Godzilla looks amazing, not like that iguana/raptor looking thing from 98...oh no....THIS IS GODZILLA! I grew up on this stuff. My father used to take me to the movies in Washington Heights to see Godzilla films when they were finally released here in the US. I used to look through the TV Guide every week to see if they were playing any Godzilla movies on the TV...for those of you who are very young...we only had like 14 channels....And let's not forget those Friday afternoon Godzilla marathons on channel 9 the day after Thanksgiving. I used to eat a left over turkey sandwich as I watched Godzilla fight either King Kong, or Hedorah, or that big Lobster thingy in the ocean....awesome. Enough of my rant regarding my glee….let’s get into the meat of it. First you see these soldiers being given instructions before their mission. At first you think this is just another mil...

The Exorcist TV Series.....not as Bad As I Thought.

So months ago I saw the preview to the Fox Television series The Exorcist, which was taken from the original 1973 classic.  I thought this was going to bomb. I was wrong. Not only has this series held my attention since the first episode, an exciting new twist has arisen in episode 5 which aired this past Friday.  I was absolutely shocked.  The mother of the possessed girl that Father Tomas and Father Marcus is trying to help has turned out to be non other than Regan McNeil, the girl Linda Blair played in the original film.  She had changed her name and built a new life for herself to escape her past.  She even disappeared from her mother as well because she was constantly being haunted by the memories of that terrible episode which had made audiences gasp, shake and run to the confessionals back in 1973. What's interesting to me was the parallel of the case that the original William Peter Blatty novel was based on.  The Exorcist was based...
