A surprisingly smart supernatural thriller that gives equal credence to science and faith. The scares are subtle and grounded in well-won tension, but, once the film gets going, boy does it get scary. I can never look at 3:33 AM again. |

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. |

I'm not a great fan of horror, but the trailer for this film looked so good I thought I'd make an exception. Very much in the tradition of The Entity and The Exorcist, this religious horror concerns itself with the supposed "possession" of a young girl but unfortunately spends far too little time on her and her story. It's so desperate for "true story" credibility that the "factual" courtroom accounts keep interrupting the far more interesting flashback sequences. If the story had just been told as is without the somewhat dry and uninvolving courtroom scenes, I think a fine chiller could've emerged; as it stands it's just a solid religious pot-boiler. Note to the producers: Which is really more interesting, a. A sheltered and devout young woman who finds horrifying and inexplicable events... |

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.
