Thank you Erica and Strawberry-field!

So, both of you think the shadow inside the closed window is Regan (Devil)… I tried once again to figure out its form: in fact, the person appearing in shadow seems to have long hair (the only one person in the film with long hair down on the shoulder is Regan). But I still keep thinking that there is not that much room for fantasy in this film. Symptoms of possession are of course “fantastics”, meaning supernatural (bed’s shaking, mirages of ancient demon, levitation of body, etc.)… neverthless it is definitely not a “fantastic” film. Do you see what I mean? It was quite laborious for the devil himself to slide inside Regan’s body and mind. And it was as difficult as that for him to “display the power”… not because he didn’t want to. There are several dead persons in Regan and It seems to me that the evil spirit borrows his force to their synchronicity in suffering and their utmost need for recalling the Biss Boss (Pazuzu), which seems to be quite difficult, at least rare, to realize in the film. I want to say that I have had no impression during this story’s evolving that the devil be almighty and capable to rule the physical world without effort.

The shadow, wasnt’t it Regan’s spirit in despair?
