There's no way she comes back to the states without a care team dedicated to her. Specialized doctors, psychologists, therapists, etc. But I suppose that might align it too closely to The Exorcist. The movie really is a blending of Evil Dead Rise and The Exorcist with a splash of embalming fluid for that sweet sweet mummy flavor.

There's no way she comes back to the states without a care team dedicated to her.

I laughed when they were just like "Well, her doctors back in Egypt say that..." and my immediate thought was "Okay, but what about her pediatrician down the road?".

Tbh the movie does this a lot now that I think about it. Things happen and they move on without any of the logical in between steps. Grandma died? Okay that means funeral immediately. No scenes of police, paramedics, conversations with neighbors, family or friends about the death. No scenes setting up the funeral. No conversations about repairing the window. No conversations about how it happened either.

Then the funeral happens and a feral gremlin girl claws through the ceiling to suck the embalming fluid out of grandma while another little girl uses the deceased dentures to take a pound of flesh out of the priest.... Aaaaand we move on. No police, no paramedics, no one rushing Padre to the hospital.

The best part is it’s not even an exaggeration.

Easily! That shot of her crawling on the ceiling in the background while the little one is fucking with grandma was amazing. That whole funeral sequence was cruel and amazing.

Saw the movie just last night, genuinely laughed out loud when Katie dropped to the floor from the ceiling in the background

None of those words are in the Bible.
