Message: <blockquote data-quote="Storm Raven" data-source="post: 2829838" data-attributes="member: 307">Given that the movie is all about Mel Gibson's loss of faith, and his rediscovery of faith, the idea that the tormentors in the movie are actually demons seems to make sense. Since the movie is about faith being tested, having the ultimate testers of faith as the villains works, and actually provides support for the interpretation of them as such.Ambiguity of evidence does not prove they are one thing or the other. They may look like aliens, and follow some alien like tropes, but they behave like demons, and are featured in a story about the testing of faith. Given that both alien visitors and demons are, as far as we know, fictitious creatures, concluding that they are one or the other is a huge and unwarranted assumption.</blockquote>
