The 1970s had plenty of Exorcist ripoffs, but only one of them, TV movie The Possessed, had Harrison Ford.
The Big Picture We've made it to another spooky season. The coming October will bring plenty of new horror movies, but that's never enough. We'll also disturb all the old bones of horror movies gone by. Today we're digging up The Possessed, which belongs to the category of "1970s Exorcist ripoffs.
Ellen, who was the only witness to one of the fires, becomes convinced that they have a supernatural cause. When the investigating police officer dismisses her, she asks her psychiatrist for help, and he recommends "a man who might be what you're looking for" named Kevin Leahy . The Possessed never outright uses the ex-word, but Leahy is a onetime Catholic minister. We see him during a prologue, performing the sacrament, and drinking heavily on the side.
It's around this time that Harrison Ford's character takes center stage. We meet Mr. Winjam in chemistry class, where you can certainly see advance traces of the classroom version of Dr. Indiana Jones, although his big thematic classroom scene is also evocative of Walter White's "chemistry is the study of change" lecture. Later, we discover that he was once in a relationship with the headmistress Ms. Gelson.
