What about the pre-title sequence where a black man walking the street is killed and abducted by the White Porsche Driver with the knight's helmet? What is that about? Thanks, Maikel (talk) 20:36, 24 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Unsure, but the 'who is actually x in y body' and similar details in the cast section feels like it could be unnecessary extra detail? Especially as it gives away the plot of the film. Happy to be corrected though, I'm not experienced in article writing! Girlyswot (talk) 22:41, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
No. Countless sources already deem it a horror film. Also, you don't need demonic possession to make it a horror film (Silence of the Lambs, anyone?).CRBoyer18:04, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I changed, "Chris attempts to escape in Jeremy's Porsche but accidentally hits Georgina, who is possessed by Rose's grandmother, Marianne" to, "Chris attempts to escape in Jeremy's Porsche but accidentally hits Georgina, who is supposed to be Rose's grandmother, Marianne, after Georgina's brain has been replaced with Marianne's brain." What's wrong with that?-2406:7400:90:92A7:3DA5:5BFB:82B4:6EC5 (talk) 07:12, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's twice as long, "supposed to be" is vague wording, and "after Georgina's brain has been replaced" makes the chronology of the whole sentence bizarre. Popcornfud (talk) 07:15, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
For all intents and purposes, the film treats it as a possession. The brain transplantees take over the body they're transplanted to, depriving the consciousness of the original occupants of their autonomy. It's pretty much like what one thinks of when they think if possession. CRBoyer17:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Popcornfud and CRBoyer: Possession is the state of being controlled by a demon or spirit. For example, "they said prayers to protect the people inside the hall from demonic possession". Here, it is a brain transplantation by which the brain gets a new body. The old owner of the body is not concious of anything - his brain is gone.-2406:7400:90:92A7:B9E:DF75:831:59C9 (talk) 16:33, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
LIKE I SAID, it's practically possession. The Armitages, once they have their brains transplanted into another person, take over their body. They live the life of their host. Much like a demon takes over a human body. And also, those who get possessed are sent to the sunken place, forced to watch someone else live their life. I'm sorry, but your preferred revisions are at best overly verbose. Can we please close this topic?CRBoyer16:42, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Crboyer: The sunken place is an imaginary place to describe where Mrs. Armitage makes her subject feel they have sunken to but after the brain transplantation, the body is taken over by the brain of Roman, Marianne, Hudson etc.; the African-Americans are no longer alive after that.-49.205.131.67 (talk) 17:56, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
