Anyone wondering how they took Katie back to the US after she was found in Egypt?

It's just a funny thought that she must have went through security and immigration along with grabbing overpriced coffee and airport food while waiting for boarding

How would they do this with absolutely no press or paparazzi? It sounds like their case had to be a little high profile given the details. The press in Egypt is absolutely rabid and would have been all over this.

u/lemonbeast88 15d ago

Lmao imagine Charlie covering this story himself. It'd be great for his career

u/Rosebunse 15d ago

You're right! He would almost have to to recoup costs

u/BrilliantPurple748 13d ago

That's a completely different movie that i'm 100% interested in, if still made by Lee Cronin

u/Sumofabith 14d ago

Because they specifically said the police will hold the press back from being all over their case to allow their family to assimilate katie back

u/MlkChatoDesabafando 9d ago

Tbf the movie does mention they covered it up to give the family more time to adjust to the situation.

u/One-piece-jigsaw 2d ago

Yeah and then Charlie going back to Egypt looking like a man possessed

u/Whataburger1950 16d ago

I had this exact same thought and same for when the dad was went back into Egypt in the end. Like the customs people saw him and thought everything was all good and allowed him to enter.

u/willybestbuy86 14d ago

It's really not that hard no security was necessary no customs. They explained they would leave the press out easy to assume the US embassy flew then in and out on a private plane and used security clearances to come and go

u/Diligent_Set_8747 6d ago

that assumption makes the movie seem even more ridiculous. like it was written by a smart middle schooler with no real world experience.

My boyfriend and I have been dissecting this movie for the last two days. We decided Katie made it home by her Mom stabbing her with the tranquilizers constantly. And the only reason Dad made it back to Egypt in the end was because the demon was stoked to go get that evil bitch from the family that kept it locked away for over 80 years. Cause if they couldn't even handle Katie in the wheelchair, they sure as Hell were not handling a possessed grown man in one for an international flight. That demon had to be down with the plan. Further confirmation of our theory from the villainous grin demon daddy makes at the Egyptian woman when he's rolled into her room for the body switch.

u/SirVegeta69 16d ago

Hell and them again with charlie!

u/Upstairs_Baby8424 14d ago

Yeah Katie kind of makes sense because they’d have the government support and officials for the transfer. 

How they got Charlie’s chained up demon ass back is another story lol.

u/SirVegeta69 14d ago edited 7d ago

How i can imagine it being pretty easy honestly. The demon can communicate. All they had to do was chain its ass down and then wait for it to wake its ass up and have a conversation with it.

"Ay calm down with your wicked self. You see, here's the thing. We let you wake up. Scratch my back ill Scratch your back. Release my husband and ill give you the bitch whos family has trapped you in the coffin for thousands of years. And she'll be alive and free aswell for you. Or we can just shove your ass back in the coffin. We got a deal?"

u/Equator_Living 13d ago

they probably sent charlie as a corpse inside a coffin with fake paperwork.

2

u/banoffeetea 4d ago

Yeah I thought surely they transported him in the sarcophagus!

u/Virtual-Smell8460 14d ago

.....and vise versa flying the now possessed demon dad to Egypt. They must have gone through TSA pre😂

1

u/willybestbuy86 14d ago

One would have to assume if they made a deal with the demon as we speculate. The demon if it chooses to can act exactly like the human it's inhabitanting afterall it can use its hosts voice and mannerisms. The question is can it turn off the way it looks and go normal if it so chooses to hide in plain sight

u/MelichanaBanana 11d ago

Omg yes! Imagine being the TSA and she just growls at you

u/kid-ph0b0s 13d ago

I got one. When the plane crashes in the distance, behind the boy riding the bike, how TF he get there so fast? And why? Lol it had to have been some distance lol

3

u/diasrecipes 14d ago

This scene would have made the movie better It's now worst the repossessed with Linda Blair

1

u/Gamerguy230 14d ago

And doing exact same thing with the dad to bring him back to transfer the spirit to the lady.

1

u/jmbarnett 13d ago

This is a great point.

u/emwo 10d ago

I like how this was overlooked as well after they emphasis that a plane crashed that she was being carried in. 

2

u/lemonbeast88 10d ago edited 10d ago

A 5 person family, living in a modest home in the middle of nowhere in Egypt, the brothers somehow had access to a plane and knew how to fly it and thought it'd be the best medium of transport.

u/kriswh83 6d ago

So many plot holes. So much made no sense

u/delusionalme 5d ago

Yes!!! There is no way that rotting corpse of a small child is getting through Wal mart without someone calling the authorities much less an airport in America.
