Title: A classic in it's own time
Review: This is by far another cult classic to add to the Thriller/Horror genre of your movie collection. This movie is probably just as creepy as the 1973 version of The Exorcist. I watch this anytime it is on streaming and is free. I don't like that they cut out a lot of good parts of the movie though when it's shown on streaming services. So I am excited to have this version of The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Title: Use of spectacular Blu ray with a quality film
Review: You have two camps of people with this film. Some knock it totally saying it is in no way a horror movie. Others see it for what it is. It has never been called a horror film . It has a presence of horror in a different way and is a true story that is more a courtroom drama that explores how the legal system deals with the case of a girl who died after an exorcism and while under the direct care of a priest. Was she epileptic and psychotic? Or was she possessed. Medical facts verses spiritual facts.THE EXORCIST was a story that had the exorcism and gore galore in the forefront with the story of its characters in the background. THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE is about an exorcism with the strong story in the forefront. This is a 5 star film. We have three of the best actors of this decade - Laura Linney, Tom Wilkinson and Scott Campbell. These are hardcore actors and each tackles their role with strong intensity.Now before I continue I want to comment on how the film appears in blu ray. It is absolutely astounding. The 1080p high def picture is crystal clear and the truehd audio will blow you away. This must be viewed with a 5.1 theater system. I have seen this film many times and the clarity in blu ray makes the courtroom scenes seem as if I am watching a play and the actors are in my room. The film does manage to expertly show the progression of Emily Rose's deterioration and if you view it with blu ray and a theater system the sound will have you on the edge of your seat and jumping out of your skin. (Important note, if you watch DEXTER, it is great fun to see Jennifer Carpenter as Emily Rose. She is superb.)Blu ray allows the viewer to see the emotions of the actos much more clearly. Laura Linney is the attorney defending the priest accused of Emily's death and she is at first a self professed agnostic. But the film is largely about how the whole affair affects her. At the end she is very troubled and doesn't know what she is. But her life is totally changed. Even with all the great acting the film in my opinion belongs to Laura Linney and Jennifer Carpenter.If you want a standard B horror film with blood and gore this film is not for you. This film is an insightful, intelligent courtroom drama about a very unique case and it is scary, suspenseful, troubling and dramatic but for different reasons. Excellent film and even if you own the dvd you MUST purchase it on blu ray. It is a demonstration of blu ray at its best.

Title: Blessed Mother used Emily
Review: The movie is excellent and a true story of Emily Rose who Blessed Mother used to show the world Satan really exists. The court system was corrupt because of big pharma. If your on physo meds exorcism canât work. You must be off them. The corrupt court found father guilty but the jury saved father. . Thatâs all I will say you have to watch the movie. There is also real black and white footage of the real events but hard to locate.

Title: great movie
Review: based on a true story and not fictionalized like The Exorcist was. The truth of it comes at the very end, which will be baffling to some.

Title: A Chilling Movie Based on a True Story
Review: This frightening and gripping tale is based on a true story of a German student who, in the 1970s, died during an attempted exorcism. The two German priests who attempted the exorcism were accuded of negligent homicide. This film is based on the life of a young college student, Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter). Suffering from horrifying hallucinations and bone-rigid seizures, it was believed that Emily was suffering from some sort of psychosis and epilepsy. However, the family soon places Emily in the care of their parish priest, Father Moore (Tom Wilkinson). He has a totally different explanation for Emily's behavior; he believes that she has been possessed by the devil and he plans an exorcism to rid Emily of her demons.However, the exorcism goes terribly awry, and Emily dies during it. Soon, Father Moore is arrested and accused of negligent homicide. Scrambling for alternatives, Father Moore's parish hires defense lawyer Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) to defend Father Moore. A up-and-comer in her law firm, she just won a high-profile case before accepting the defense of Father Moore. One more big victory and she will become a senior partner in her firm.Serving as prosecutor for the trial is Ethan Thomas (Campbell Scott), a church-goer and Sunday School Teacher who believes that religious beliefs are not above the law and intends to prosecute to its fullest extent. After rejecting a plea deal of reckless endangerment which would have carried a six month jail sentence from the prosecution, the two sides go to trial.The trial is loaded with scientific explanations and religious theories about the cause of Emily's death. From psychosis and epilepsy to demon possession, many theories are presented by both the prosecution and the defense. Which side will the jury believe? Will Father Moore be found guilty or innocent?I found this movie to be extremely exciting to watch. The trial scenes are riveting, and the cut-away scenes showing Emily fighting her condition are the high points of the movie. The acting is first-rate. Laura Linney, Tom Wilkinson, Campbell Scott, and especially Jennifer Carpenter as the torn and troubled Emily are all excellent in their roles. If you remember seeing "The Exorcist", this movie will scare you even more. I highly recommend this movie. The courtroom drama will draw you in, and the exorcism and possession scenes will keep you glued to the screen throughout. Watch this true story and see how possession, scientific theory, and exorcism meet head-on in a clash of beliefs.

Review: Ce film raconte l'histoire d'émily rose (qui s'inspire d'une histoire vrai) au travers d'un procès impliquant le prêtre qui a tenté de l'exorcisé. Je tiens à souligner la prestation plus qu'exceptionnelle de jennifer carpenter, tout le monde la connais grâce à la série dexter mais elle joue un rôle complètement différent que dans cette série. Sa prestation est troublante de réalisme, elle nous touche forcement et on a de la compassion pour son personnage d'émily rose.Ce film pose aussi beaucoup de question on peut croire ou non en dieu, mais après avoir vu ce film tout le monde se remettra en question sur ce que l'on croit ou non.A voir ce film est à pars.

Review: El referente en esta temática es El Exorcista. Pero aún asÃ, esta pelÃcula es referente también porque se aproxima al fenómeno desde otros puntos de vista: 1) Las consecuencias de las posesiones y el Rito Romano como referente para exorcismos eficaces. 2) La toma de conciencia de los fenómenos de religión frente al brutal laicismo imperante. 2) El espÃritu de sacrificio por los demás, mostrado por la posesa que toma una decisión difÃcil y abnegada, y la firmeza del sacerdote que mantiene sus motivos y razones para obrar como lo hizo, por encima de la presión y hostigamiento laicista que hace en este caso el fiscal que lleva el juicio.Una pelÃcula memorable. Seguro que repetiré su visionado unas cuantas veces.

Review: In my opinion, this is one of the best exorcism movies ever made. The story was presented in a unique way and held your attention. It is based on true events and you need to have a bit of an open mind to appreciate it. It is frightening in places, but not overpowering with the dramatics. It's worth watching, even if you're a skeptic.

Review: Der Regisseur von "Der Exorzismus von Emily Rose", Scott Derrickson, hat nicht nur eine Vorliebe für das Thema Exorzismus, sondern auch noch dafür, das Exorzismus-Horrorgenre mit anderen filmischen Spielarten gekonnt zu vermischen. Während der neuere "Erlöse uns von dem Bösen" eine Mischung aus Horror- und Polizeithriller darstellt, handelt es sich bei Emily Rose in erster Linie um ein Gerichtsdrama mit Horrorelementen, die sich überwiegend aus Rückblenden ergeben.Vor Gericht verteidigt die ambitionierte Protagonistin Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) den angeklagten Pater Richard Moore (Tom Wilkinson). Dem Priester wird vorgeworfen, im Rahmen eines Exorzismus die junge Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter) fahrlässig getötet zu haben. Dieser für den amerikanischen Markt leicht fiktionalisierte Fall basiert auf der wahren Tragödie der vermeintlich oder tatsächlich besessenen Anneliese Michel, die in den 70er Jahren nach einer langen Exorzismus Serie an Unterernährung starb.Der Film ist hervorragend inszeniert und bringt sowohl die gerichtliche Komponenten als auch den Horror rund um die vermeintliche dämonische Besessenheit der Emily Rose spannend zum Ausdruck. Der Regisseur lässt die medizinisch-psychoanalitische sowie die religiöse Interpretation des Falles (dessen realer Counterpart ja extrem kontrovers in Deutschland und der Welt diskutiert wurde) gleichermaÃen zu Wort kommen, wobei der Film eher zur religiösen Sicht neigt, was der narrativen Dramaturgie letztlich zugute kommt.Es hätte dem Film gut getan, Emily Rose etwas groÃzügiger zu charakterisieren, bevor es zur Tragödie kommt, und dafür eventuell ein paar der vorhersehbaren Schock-Momente zu streichen. Der Film leidet allerdings wenig unter diesem Kritikpunkt, da Emily Rose ohnehin eher der Aufhänger des Falles und nicht etwa die Protagonistin ist.Scott Derrickson tut dem Horrorgenre definitiv einen Gefallen, indem er die oft banal inszenierte Exorzismus-Thematik wiederholt in originellen sowie theologisch informierten Filmen verpackt, die nicht lediglich auf Sensationalismus aus sind.
