"By Tricia Olszewski The dilapidated, middle-of-nowhere house is there. So are the single woman’s apartment and the deserted dorm hallway, both so still as night crawls toward morning. But the majority of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, based on the true story of a young German woman’s alleged demonic possession in the ’70s, takes place in the most unexpected of locations: a courtroom. No, writer-director Scott Derrickson’s portrayal of Anneliese Michel’s experience isn’t as balls-out horror-ific as its trailers suggest. But moviegoers hungry for a good fright might be satisfied anyway. Combining the most chilling elements of its famous cousin, The Exorcist, with the supernatural-tinged drama of another misleadingly marketed but much milder thriller, The Skeleton Key, Emily Rose will not only provide fuel for a postfilm debate on the finer points of evil-spirit-related jurisprudence but also give you a bad case of the 3 a.m. willies.

"What struck me about this film was the interesting debate between theological speculation and scientific reasoning. Was Emily Rose's death caused by a evil spirit or was it murder? Laura Linney and Oscar Nominee Tom Wilkinson give strong performances in this very intriguing motion picture. Director Scott Derrickson does a great job of trying to keep our interest by giving both side of the arguement without trying to insult our inteligence with a ridiculous and predictable storyline. A more inexperienced director would have tried to shock us with blood and gore, turning it into a forgetable "B" movie. By not taking the low road, this film actually becomes rather entertaining and spiritual. Don't let the title fool you. Give this movie a chance. You might like it, as I did! "

"I was very disappointed with this movie. Emily Rose is a good Christian girl suddenly possessed after entering college. She comes home and her family tries to have a priest exorcise the demon from her body with fatal results. The priest on trial for her death slowly lets the story out to an agnostic lawyer defending him in court.I watched this film because it was featured on Bravo's Scary Moments update. Jennifer Carpenter was praised highly for her performance and for not using a prop or double-acting the part of Emily's deleriums, contortions, etc. I tried and just couldn't care about any of the characters or the story. The movie seemed to drag on and on. "
