They can go & try some newer exorcism flicks with different religious belief systems...like possessed by the Jinns in a remote Islamic community, people cursed by Hindu deities etc. etc.

That would be a good idea. It seems like the only religion they touch upon is Catholicism and Christianity. With the exception of The Possessions Jewish leanings I can't think of another horror movie having a different religion involved. It would be interesting if they branched out.
