About:
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest with strong influences of Christianity. Well, probably not as good, but at least similar in some scenes.

Directed by William Peter Blatty, this is often included in the Exorcist franchise, though barring an astronaut character, the odd actor and Christian themes, there’s not much else in common here.

Random – Massive Spoilers:
The basic premise of The Ninth Configuration might have later inspired the story of Scorsese’s Shutter Island.
