Review of Red Lights (2012) by Sarah . — 24 Jun 2012
The movie makes me think, if it's possible for people to become possessed by demons then if you were about to do something wrong like debunk a genuine faithhealer then it's possible that you would become possessed by one and it would force you to decapitate yourself with a kitchen knife in which case genuine faithhealers don't need to be worried about renegade skeptics.
Unless a skeptic was to become possessed by a demon that tried to destroy the reputation of genuine faithhealers by rigging scientifically controlled conditions against the participant ie by using old electromagnetic measuring devices with degraded capacitors that therefore are out of spec with the factory and introduce an ambient electromagnetic hum, or deliberately sabotaged equipment.
The movie also has an important message about scientific obsession - becoming an obsessed scientist almost running over many innocent road maintenance personnel and that homeless woman, this is one of the things about obsession that is bad, and it also illustrated something I have seen among many students at Imperial college and Cambridge and Oxford which is the elitist attitude that it's ok to ignore minimum wage maintenance and construction workers and treat them like crap and run them over if you are chasing some scientific carrot (as in carrot held in front of a donkey).
