Touched by a demon in the 2011 film, The Rite
This is what happens when you mess with demons you’re not quite qualified to exorcise - they throw you across a room, manhandle you, grab your face... and roll your eyes back in your head like they’re not connected to anything.

Attacked by Anthony Hopkins in the 2011 film, The Rite
When in Rome, beware of rogue Anthony Hopkinses. They will back you up against a wall and shout relatively lame insults at you that will lapse into weird sing-songy things about welshmen at carnivals, only to culminate in a strange contortionist act you never wanted to see. Don’t ask questions.
