I don't know what's more surprising, a Fallen reference or that I recognised it.

Is that the one where the ending twist botches the whole conceit of the film?

The demon can only pass on to another human via touch, but then at the end escapes in a cat just so that Denzel can do the voice over equivalent of lowering his shades and winking roguishly.

It can move through the air - otherwise it wouldn't have been able to get from John Goodman to Denzel Washington - and it's based on Legion from the Bible, who could inhabit animals (Jesus drove it into a herd of pigs). But yeah, I don't think we're ever shown it in an animal before the ending, so it reads as a cop-out rather than a mistake by the Washington character.

In the first 5-10 minutes of the film they execute the criminal and the demon travels through the air into it's next host.

Yeah you're right. Sorry it's been what, 20 years? But I remember it having to be a human host, or at least having no indication that it could use animals (which would have made for a much shorter film if it was using them from the get go)

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Why are we all spoiler-tagging a movie that is good but has been out for more than 15 years? Ah well....

The animal possession thing is indeed a twist. Right after possessing Denzel's body he is still in panic mode and desperately tries to flee the area/find Denzel's carkeys (thrown into the forest). After Denzel dies and Azazel goes airborne he hovers for a bit and then goes towards the cat's nest. The only time you saw the cat before was during Denzel's first visit to the house, upon arrival it is seen running away and hiding under the house. It is explained during the movie that Azazel obtains the knowledge of its host.

My point was if he can possess animals, he was never in any danger and his actions don't make a lot of sense. There's some kind of animal around you at all times, fuckers are everywhere.

If I had to guess, I’d say he can’t survive very long outside a host, and without Denzel’s knowledge of where the cat was, he’d have to go and find an animal which might have taken too long.

Correct. I actually watched Fallen less than a week ago and they read some ancient literature that Azazel can travel up to 500 ells* in that single breath after a host dies. The part about animal being potential hosts is not mentioned in those books.

*1 ell = Metric system: 94.1318 cm / Imperial system: 1.03 international yards, approx. 37.1 inches. Thanks Wikipedia.

In my favourite comic, Fallen, it's possible that the demon basically exists to mess with humans, so possessing an animal instead of a human it can torture is probably torture to it.

Could be worse, you could be possessed by Billy Idol:

There was a brief scene in the middle of the film that implies that a pigeon was possessed because the film was cut in a way to imply it was spying on the characters.
