To cleanse her dead son’s soul, a once-sceptical occult historian must force a former kung fu master cop to recreate a ritual he witnessed as a child. (FOR MEETUP REVIEW)

The discussion regarding exorcism is definitely one I don’t wish to repeat since “exorcism” is almost its own genre of late…

“what?s the point of her being ?once skeptical?”
She was not a believer and her eyes are now opened to the “reality” of the occult due to her son’s death.
“she?s now an apparent expert in the occult”
She’s not an expert in the occult, she is an expert in the history and belief in the occult.
If she were an expert, she wouldn’t need the former kung fu master cop.
“I don?t think we need to know that the cop witnessed the ritual as a child”
I disagree as this explains why it is the once sceptical occult historian NEEDS the former kung fu master cop.
“I guess I could ask the same question as to what relevance a kung-fu master has to solving her problem”
Because it’s funny, and it’s relevant to the ritual he witnessed as a child.
When a History professor is visited by the ghost of her dead son trapped in purgatory, she must track down a legendary kung-fu master who knows a ritual that can free the dead.?
That’s much too dry. Plus, the difference between a professor and a historian is too great, “professor” steals away her naivete. “dead son trapped in purgatory” is too steeped in Catholic lore, which is why I got rid of “exorcism” from my last revision, this way I can make up my own ‘ritual’ and not have it make any form of sense. The former kung fu master cop can’t be legendary, that puts too much emphasis on ability and takes away the opportunity of failure.
At its most simplistic, the logline is – To solve this problem, this person needs another person to provide the solution.
Maybe I can make the kung fu master’s job clearer and possibly rephrase ‘once sceptical’, but I think the situation is pretty clearly mapped out.
Thanks all the same…
