Member Rating:  
In this blend of psychological thriller and courtroom drama, Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter) is a 19-year-old college student who begins displaying bizarre and troubling behavior; as her actions become increasingly destructive and shocking, Emily begins speaking in strange tongues and destroying religious symbols that surround her. Emily's parents believe that their daughter has become possessed of the devil, and the Catholic Church agrees to authorize an exorcism of the young woman. As Father Moore (Tom Wilkinson) attempts to drive the demons from Emily's body, the girl dies in the midst of the taxing ceremonies, and Father Moore finds himself charged with negligent homicide. Attorney Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) is hired to represent Father Moore against prosecutor Ethan Thomas (Campbell Scott), who intends to prove there were concrete medical explanations for Emily's behaviors, including epilepsy and schizophrenia, all leading to a heated courtroom debate between the notions of faith and science. The Exorcism of Emily Rose was inspired by the real-life story of Anneliese Michel, a young woman from Germany who died in 1976 after priests in Wurzburg spent eight months attempting to exorcise demons from her body. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Worth watching. Not amazing by any means, and obviously I'm not going to go down the Exorcist comparison road, but Emily Rose was a decent Law and Order episode wrapped in an Exorcism story that presented itself in a way that you could actually find yourself believing for a few minutes if you so desire. The special effects left a bit to be desired, but there are so few of them and they weren't terrible enough to detract from the movie as a whole.

Loved this movie. Appreciated the intense courtroom scenes.Could've done without the extreme scariness of the girl's possession, but that would have taken away from the horror that may very well be part of a real exorcism. Terrifying to think this really happens. Very well acted, and interesting to the end. I highly recommend it.

Imagine if the Exorcist had been a real story... you end up with this movie, wherein the priest goes to jail and trial after his possessed pew-sitter dies. The fact that it is based on a true story makes it even more terrifying than the Exorcist ever could be. It is a great story, with good acting. The tone and mood are dark, which is just right for the content. It has lots of unexpected events, and yet still offers a glimmer of a positive note at the end. After all, you can;t believe in demons without also believing in God.---Watch it from about 1:30 to 3:00 am to get the full effect.
