What was up with the Demon's name?


Jungler? wtf i was expecting a cool name where they could tie up loose ends and end the storyline perfectly, if the demon came from a tomb in Iraq, and what purpose did it have? Jungler was totally random and unexplained, if the priest wanted his name so dearly then I guess he was disappointed to hear a random name.

The point of hearing the demon's name was that once you learn its identity it loses its power. It doesn't matter what the name actually is, that's not the point. There is great power in their names and keeping their identities a secret ensures that those powers are preserved. It also allows the exorcist to apply the correct ritual in exorcising the entity.

Don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want.

The Catholic Church has more than one exorcism ritual?

That being the case, they should have had them crack up like the rest of us did when they heard what it was called, just to undermine the demon even more.

For once I'd like for them to be like "What is your name demon!?" Booooooooooooob, my name is BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIE!" with a high pitched gay accent. There aren't enough gay demons represented in the film industry.

It really is an underwhelming name isn't it?

Jongleur? Really? That's the best you could come up with? You sit there for half a year planning the plot, fleshing out the characters, building the script to its climactic moment and then you name your demon Jongleur? Get out of my office.
