To the people who say that it WASN'T a demonic possession?

I've read a few posts here and am quite frankly surprised to see that many people think that there wasn't anything supernatural involved.

If so, how do you explain the drawings,then?.

The drawing of the white cat being beaten to death.... only hours after it was discovered by the film crew, the girl actually goes on to serendipitously meet a similar colored cat and end up beating it to death.

The three drawings of the film crew... each having their own way of dying... with Cotton being burned in the fire, Iris being hacked to pieces and the cameraman being beheaded are exactly the way in which the three of the guys meet their fates in the end (well we never actually see Cotton being killed in the fire, but he was heading towards it with his cross and it's reasonable to assume that he does get killed in it). That is simply too big of a coincidence for the cult members to have elaborately planned. I mean, for one thing, the decision to go back to the Sweetzer farm was an impulsive one that the film-crew took while heading back home... there was no way that the cult members could prepare for them, let alone plan for the moment they'd show up and arrange their executions accordingly.

And these are just the main points, I thought I'd raise.

She very clearly WAS possessed. The ending alone proves that.

The film gave you the choice through most of it, and even implied that she was simply crazy... But the ending shoots that horse in the face.

God I love this movie.

Hail to the king, baby.

These people don't like the idea that this stupid movie tricked them by bait and switch. It seems to end with something that's like a "rational" ending, then the director switches it around and demand the viewer believe what is happening.
There is no trick suggested, nor is movie meant to create an interpretive ending.
That said it is still a bad movie and one that is bigoted toward the southern people imo.

Also Nells eyes COMPLETELY change color. All through the film her eyes are brown. In the barn when she starts acting possessed the quite clearly turn Amber.

Also the demon completely lies to them to get them off the farm by having Nell tell them she was pregnant by that kid from the coffee shop when that was obviously not the case.

She spoke Latin. She knew the preacher was a liar and I dont know how she would have heard the actual name of the demon when she was nowhere around when Cotton told the father but it was possible she heard it so thats not really proof.

Some say she levitated when she was filming with the camera.

She was obviously possessed.

Is this a joke? If they have a white cat, then she could clearly draw a picture of the cat dead. Then go kill it. That's the most retarded thing I have ever heard.

Are you not entertained?!

The dead cat is easily explained.

But how did she know that Cotton was gonna walk toward the fire with a raised crucifix in his hand, or that the film crew was gonna get whacked in that exact way?

That makes her appear to be in on the whole thing, somehow. Either she was telling the cult to achieve that outcome; or she was magically psychic that it was going to happen, anyway.

The eye color change could be faked with contacts. Her behavior could be explained as a dramatic hoax.

But the pictures seem to defy casual explanation, to me.
