Source: Personal Collection
Today is Veteran's Day and I have the whole day off. I asked my bf to pick out a movie from my collection to watch. Now, I stand by my collection, I really do, but at the same time some of the films I own I feel like someone mysteriously stuck them in there without me knowing. This is one of them. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is apparantly based off of a true story of a girl who becomes possessed by demons. I have nothing against a good possession movie because I personally believe that they do occur. The thing that bothered me the most about this movie is that it's not a horror movie. I actually don't know what kind of movie it is. The actual "scary" scenes were good for my standard. There is only so much you can do to show a demonic possession without it looking like The Exorcist (which by the way is my opinion of the scariest movie of all time). But the majority of the movie was just like watching a court case. It's really hard for me to say anymore about this because it really just confused me. I didn't even understand why the Priest was on trial in the first place and why *SPOILER ALERT* the jury would find him guilty but then decide that he already served his sentence. I label this movie a Drorror film. Acting good, direction bad, case closed.

It tries to be suspenseful, but really it's alright film, I mean it has it's goods and faults of the film. I can't say because I've seen this movie, Emily Rose, when it came out... back in the day, but would I have bought this film, no, but this film does not appeal to my own satifastied need.
I think that Emily Rose was not that exciting nor did it really foucs on the plot of the story...the exorcism of emily rose. It centered around the trial of the priest rather than Emily herself. THe parts that did focus on the exercism were great and depicted what I thought would actually occur. Out of 10 I give that shit a 7.5. I do agree that it was like watching a fucking court case...maybe it should of been on Judge Judy at like 1pm. It would have made more sense LOL
