The Exorcist

Darkness, curtains closed.
Chilled room,
Blankets wrapped around,
Utter and complete silence.

The title snaps onto the screen; red, capitalized.
Somewhat confusingly, the movie begins with the Azaan.
The devil unleashed,
360 degrees head turn,

Flashes of frightening faces make us giggle,
70's effects humorous.
Whispers of "shut up" go around,
The movie ends.

The call to prayer is heard again
The title bangs onto the screen,
Credits roll accompanied by eerie music.
I scream.
