The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Directed by Scott Derrickson
When a young girl called Emily Rose dies, everyone puts blame on the exorcism which was performed on her by Father Moore prior to her death. The priest is arrested on suspicion of murder. The trial begins with lawyer Erin Bruner representing Moore, but it is not going to be easy, as no one wants to believe what Father Moore says is true. From TMDB

60 of 107 · most liked firstI maintain that Constantine was actually a solid movie - just not a good adaptation of Constantine the comic book. Also, the Exorcism of Emily Rose is probably my favourite exorcism horror film... and that includes the Exorcist.
positive · AI labelView post →Share a horror movie title that begins with the letter “E” 🎥 E is for… The Exorcism of Emily Rose
neutral · AI labelView post →THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE (2005) is one of the best possession films ever made. The fact that Jennifer Carpenter contorted her body the way she did is amazing. Carpenter and Laura Linney both deserved awards attention for their performances. This movie scares me. 🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky#NowWatching
positive · AI labelView post →A big happy 20th birthday to the Exorcism of Emily Rose, which hit theaters today in 2005! The mix of supernatural horror and legal drama was the breakout film for director Scott Derrickson of Sinister and The Black Phone fame. #Filmsky #ExorcismOfEmilyRose #Horrorsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Any fans of the 2005 film The Exorcism of Emily Rose?
neutral · AI labelView post →Most people would probably say their favorite exorcism horror is The Exorcist, because it's a classic and basically started the genre. For me though, it's The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I like the way it treads the line between skepticism and belief, because of how the movie is framed,

neutral · AI labelView post →Reading a Wall Street Journal piece about The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Really wishy-washy and bad article in general, but the worst part is where they say Scott Derrickson has "directed several previous horror movies, including Hellraiser 5." He had directed ONE previous horror movie: Hellraiser 5.
neutral · AI labelView post →Scott Derrickson has some interesting things to say, but among my problems with this quote: It's not true. The Exorcism of Emily Rose was an *extremely*. political film. (And a very problematic one.)

neutral · AI labelView post →Very much so. Mostly psychological horror and ghost/demon/zombie type shit. The Exorcism Of Emily Rose, As Above So Below, Primal Fear, Se7en, The Resident Evil movies, etc. I don’t really care for traditional slashers. Except Scream 1, 5, and especially Scream 6. But yes, I love a good scary movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →I know it's not a movie, but The Haunting of Hill House is the best written/produced horror series I've ever scene. For a movie, I'd recommend The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
positive · AI labelView post →I didn’t find The Exorcist that scary. I admire the performances. But The Exorcism of Emily Rose was a scarier film to me.
positive · AI labelView post →#DendensMovieDen. No. 76. The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I grew up watching quite a lot of courtroom dramas on television, as they made up a large part of the weekly drama movies on Dutch television. I’m a sucker for them now. But as with any movie genre, (1/10)
neutral · AI labelView post →Objection! Silliness! Court is in session as we cover a courtroom drama disguised as a horror movie. How childish are lawyers and things coming out the TV. When we rented "The Exorcism Of Emily Rose" from 2005. Link of podcast show in the comments! #HorrorCommunity #horrorpodcasts #mutantfamily
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah it's not bad, but very slow burn. You might be looking for The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which is about a girl who dies during an "exorcism" and the film follows the court case against the priest, arguing whether or not she was really possessed. Can't remember if the film treats it as real though
neutral · AI labelView post →This is missing a Demon centric entry, too. Not sure what I'd put for that. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a good film but the real world events it was based on do make it a bit problematic, to say the least.
positive · AI labelView post →Host - ghost film shot over Zoom during the pandemic Sleep - Korean horror about an insomniac (check trigger warnings before watching) The Exorcism of Emily Rose - clever courtroom drama/exorcism mashup The Autopsy of Jane Doe - Stephen King said not to watch it alone.
neutral · AI labelView post →The most screaming I ever heard in the theater, was during the Exorcism of Emily Rose. I don’t even remember the exact scene, I just remember I ended up focusing on the audience more than the movie because there was like five rows of kids in the front that narrated pretty much every scare scene 💗
neutral · AI labelView post →The second is a German film called Requiem. Both this and The Exorcism of Emily Rose are based on the same real-world story of Anneliese Michel, a mentally ill girl who died of malnutrition after being subjected to 67 'exorcisms' after her parents and priest mistook her illness for possession.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ohhh, I didn't know that about the differences in the book & movie. That sounds so much scarier! This reminds me of the movie, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which was loosely based on a real case. It was more of a horror-legal drama, bc it dealt w/ negligent homicide & mental health.

neutral · AI labelView post →1. Fracture. Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins. An immediate watch if you haven't already seen it. 2. The Exorcism of Emily Rose. A twist on courtroom dramas, in that it's also a horror film. But the legal-related scenes are very good. 3. Sleepers 4. The Lincoln Lawyer (film)
neutral · AI labelView post →The Exorcism of Emily Rose. A third possession movie, two thirds courtroom drama. It sounds weird but it’s terrific, very well written and tremendously acted.
positive · AI labelView post →Day 19 of my Halloween TV/movie marathon. The Exorcism of Emily Rose! This 2005 film follows a lawyer defending a priest after an exorcism goes wrong, and since it’s based on a true story, those audio tapes are absolutely chilling. A terrifying classic for the season! #Halloween #Horror #Exorcism

neutral · AI labelView post →Reminds me of the night I first watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose (alone, stupidly). Just like in the movie, I awoke and looked at my alarm clock just as it turned from 2:59 to 3:00 AM. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well after that.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's wild that I have so many streaming services, yet I still regularly can't watch something I want to see. Makes me want to go back to the old ways. So no Obsession for me. And I can't show my wife The Exorcism of Emily Rose after watching the new Exorcist, oops, I mean the new Mummy movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →There's a good exception, the German film, Requiem. This is based on the same "case" as The Exorcism of Emily Rose but is not about demonic possession, rather it is about a woman with severe epilepsy, compounded by mad religious parents who consider exorcism the appropriate treatment.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a great one, blending a very scary horror movie rivalling The Exorcist with the real-world horror of a justice system that tries to rationalize the spiritual (2/10)
