Very very suspicious of this. The most blunt statement in the movie is that Valak wanted to kill Ed, and Lorraine foresaw the nun-like Valak eight years ago and locked herself in her room for eight days. But this line is very inexplicable. Why did Valak want to kill Ed for so many years? It seems that there is no explanation at all? Could it be that the couple really annoyed Valak by exorcising too much and decided to kill Ed? It doesn't make sense. Lorraine is the one with psychic ability. Without her, it would be difficult for Ed to determine whether there is a supernatural spirit body. In addition, she is a woman who is weak and easily frightened. It's easier and more appropriate to kill Lorraine. What about little girl Janet? It doesn't seem to make sense either. Valak basically never showed up at her house. From beginning to end, he manipulated the poor old man Bill, and the body has been harassing Lorraine. The only connection before the end is when Ed flashes behind his back while he repairs the washing machine. If all it really wants is Janet, why start scaring Lorraine eight years ago? The only brain hole I can think of is that Janet was born Valak and wanted to get her eight years ago, so he warned the exorcist couple who might intervene in the future, and harassed Lorraine again when they decided to do it eight years later, hoping to frighten her not. Will intervene in this matter, in fact, she almost did not take the case and stand by. But I don't believe it myself... and Janet is more than eight years old, right? ? The last one is my personal comprehension. Lorraine had said to Janet that the first time she saw the spirit body was in the hospital, where she saw an "angel" and the "angel" saw her. Many film critics have mentioned that the image of Valak, the devil himself, is not a nun, but a little boy with wings, riding a two-headed dragon. If you put the mount aside and don't look at it, isn't the little boy with wings an image of an angel? After discovering the truth about Mr. Bill, Lorraine's description of Valak was that "it was attacking my beliefs in a cruel way" - making her suspect that everything was fake, making the nun who represented her beliefs become demons, probably It's one of the cruel ways. And what is Lorraine's greatest belief? I thought it was Ed who finally met the person who believed that she loved her and protected her. If you look at it this way, since Lorraine first saw Valak as a child, Valak has been haunting her, not Ed. Ed just destroys Lorrai ne a medium of belief. This also explains why Ed only sees Valak once in a dream, Lorraine is the one who confronts Valak every time, even at the end, Ed pulls Janet over the window and Valak appears with his back to him Wherever he was, he couldn't see the demon appearing at all. Of course, there are many doubts about this idea. In what form has Valak entangled Lorraine before? Why wait eight years to kill Ed, enjoy the feeling of terror tormenting Lorraine? Mr. Bill said something like "I like to hear them scream", and Lorraine does scream every time he encounters Valak, laughing. In fact, this question can be put on every kind of speculation, no matter who wants it, I really can't understand what Valak is waiting for these eight years. If there are 3 more souls, I hope Director Wen can solve this suspense~
