no if he was protecting her from that kind of abused by Burke he would not have had her violate herself with the cross

You’re exactly right that Pazuzu is the protector of Reagan. In the Iraq sequence, Merrin unearths two artifacts: a Saint Christopher medal (protector of children) and a Pazuzu amulet (also protector of children). That shot is there to tell the audience that Pazuzu and Saint Christopher are similar, even though it makes NO sense for those two artifacts to be together in an archaeological dig. However, what you’ve gotten wrong is that Pazuzu is not the demon that possesses Reagan—she’s been occupied by Pazuzu’s nemesis, Lamashtu. In Sumerian society, Lamashtu was the worst thing, an all-powerful evil, and Pazuzu was used to ward her off. Pazuzu is a demon of the air, wind, and of flying. Lamashtu is a demon of cold, dampness, illness, infection, bile/gross bodily fluids, swelling, and death of young children and the lament of their mothers. Now rewatch the movie and look for scenes with unnatural wind, flying, or falling in them—it’s always in protection against the presence of Lamashtu. And look for scenes with unnatural cold, stench, bile, gross body fluids, infection or swelling—that’s Lamashtu. Sometimes you’ll even see them in the same scenes, where they’re openly battling over the child. This movie is so well done.

It doesn’t make sense why the demon would “protect” her then abuse her as well, nearly killing her.

I learned through a therapist that it's common for a child to urinate after an assault. Now I'm thinking of that scene at the party and wondering if that's what happened 😫

No, Pazuzu was saying she's mine, not Burke's.

I have seen so many movies that a demon is invoked after a child has been taken advantage of, it opens up a door to them so it would make sense that she was so vonurable when playing with the board.

Yes, I also had this figured out for as many times as I've seen the film. The character of Burke Dennings definitely a sick individual, the one with demons already playing out in his soul imo. Best film, great actors, great screenplay.

I knew he tried something because why was he in her room to even get thrown out window but Pazuzu knows everyone's secrets could lured him up cause he knows he's a predator so he plays with him then twist his head throws him out window.

I think you’re reaching here with modern day post Internet eyes. You gotta remember when this movie was made a demon was a demon back then.

I just watched this movie yesterday. This is a very interesting proposition. She definitely killed him, however, I didn’t get that whole backwards head thing. Now, I get it!

It makes sense considering how she was asking her mom if she loved him and planned to marry him. Seemed like in that scene in the basement that she wanted to tell her mom something but didn’t.

I think it’s heavily implied that Burke was a predator but I think saying pazuzu was protecting Reagan is a bit of a stretch

That’s a lot of thought and diving through the rabbit hole.

Yes I always thought him being in her room was weird. And also why doesn’t she say “you’re gonna die up there”

there's a lot of speculation that Burke was based on Roman Polanski.
