The real horror of this film is that it's mostly about a debate between sciene and faith. The actual scenes of the exorcism are entertaining, but they're thrown in too sparsely. Creepy, yet somehow unsatisfying. |

There were creepy scenes and the acting was decent, but it failed to scare me. There are much better possession/exorcism movies this is more of a drama than horror. |

Emily's Case is not close |
|
There was too much courtroom drama going on instead of focusing on the title itself. It was a bit dissatisfying not to see the whole exorcism ritual from beginning to end. What we rather saw was bits and pieces of the whole event which was somewhat incomplete for me. I was certainly looking for a sense of closure sadly did not find one. Frankly I think this movie would have been a lot better without the whole courtroom concept. If they had just focus on the Emily’s demonic possession, this film would have doubled its value. |

The Exorcism of Emily Rose |
|
I saw this on Halloween with friends and it made me realize that I underestimated this film! I originally had given this a three out of four stars but I've recently decided to regard as a four-star picture. I guess this is more of a courtroom drama than a horror film but I think that's a wise decision. It provides a fresh outlook about exorcism. Laura Linney is amazing as a defense lawyer who initially took the job because she wanted to make partner but changes as her faith (or lack thereof) is challenged by both the darkness and the people that have been affected by it. The courtroom scenes are definitely highlights but the scene that stood out to me the most was when Emily Rose's boyfriend woke up in the middle of the night and Emily was not right next to him like she was supposed to.
