Product Description

Product Description

Horror starring Laura Linney based on true events. In an extremely rare decision, the Catholic Church officially recognised the demonic possession of a 19-year-old college freshman. The film chronicles the haunting trial of the priest accused of negligence resulting in the death of the young girl believed to be possessed. Linney plays the lawyer who takes on the task of defending the priest (Tom Wilkinson) who performed the controversial exorcism.

From Amazon.co.uk

A surprise hit when it was released in September 2005, The Exorcism of Emily Rose tells a riveting horror story while tackling substantial issues of religious and spiritual belief. It's based on the true story of Anneliese Michel, a German student who believed she was possessed by demons, and whose death during an attempted exorcism in 1976 led to the conviction of two priests on charges of negligent manslaughter.

As director and cowriter (with Paul Harris Boardman), filmmaker Scott Derrickson adapts this factual case into a riveting courtroom drama in which questions of faith, and the possibility of demonic possession, take the place of provable facts in the case of Father Moore (superbly played by Tom Wilkinson). A small-town Catholic priest, Moore has been put on trial for the post-exorcism death of Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter), a college student who, like her real-life inspiration, believed she was suffering from demonic possession. As an agnostic defense attorney (Laura Linney) argues the father's case against a Methodist prosecutor (Campbell Scott), flashbacks reveal the exorcism ritual and Emily's ultimately fatal ordeal, and Carpenter's performance is so frighteningly effective that it's almost painful to watch.

From here, the film remains deliberately ambiguous, leaving viewers to ponder their own belief (or lack of it) in the supernatural. It lacks the extreme shock value of The Exorcist, but by leaving room for doubt and belief in a legal context, The Exorcism of Emily Rose gains depth and resonance in a way that guarantees similar long-term appeal. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to the DVD edition.

4.0 out of 5 starsIntriguing mix of Court Room and chiller
By Mr. Stephen Kennedy VINE VOICE on 20 Jun. 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
With such a recent plethora of movies based on torture and gore to achieve their chills, it is refreshing to find a movie that retains some intelligence and still manages to get a few spine-chilling moments, with barely a speck of blood or guts to be seen.
First and foremost, this is a court room drama. And yet there is an interesting twist, because the subject is one based on belief, not on facts.. and it makes for some interesting moral questions. The movie starts at the tail end of events as the priest is taken into custody. A young woman, Emily Rose, has died in his care following an exorcism. Was it neglect on his part keeping her from medical care for a psychotic epilepsy condition, or were his efforts justified and in fact medical intervention nullified the effects of the exorcism? We are led through the events in flashback throughout the course of the trial, sometimes to eery effect, as the priest refuses to cut a deal and insists on telling Emily's story to a jury.
At the centre of the movie is the relationship between Laura Linney's jaded and agnostic defence counsel and her client the priest played by Tom Wilkinson. The two leads play with conviction, but Jennifer Carpenter's physically demanding role of Emily Rose should not be overlooked.
Admirably, the tone is not one of full on shocks and scares - there is a neutrality which gives you space to make your own mind up, and yet allow you to see events as the Father Moore and Emily saw them. It's this intelligence towards the subject which sets this apart from most other recent horror movies and makes this worth watching.

4.0 out of 5 starsSharp as a thorn
By SoWasRed on 19 April 2007
Format: DVD
Hidden in a glut of modern day horror swill and pseudo drive-in disposable popcorn flicks, The Exorcism of Emily Rose is surprisingly old-school. A movie of subtly that eschews the standard scares for something that is quite creepy yet at the same time moving. This film was convincing enough, perhaps not in terms of the subject matter but the sincerity of it - though perhaps jarring if you thought too hard about the idea of exorcisms being debated in a 21st or late 20th century court. The scares when they come are slight yet deftly done even for the more jaded of spook-fans, making for some unnerving scenes that are scarier than most 18 cert films currently doing the trashy rounds.

The film has its flaws, yes, just as the argument at the centre does, but this is one horror film that doesn't ask the viewer to suspend their imagination too much despite its spiritual subject matter.

5.0 out of 5 starsAs thoughtful as The Exorcist, but with a better ending
By chinhealer VINE VOICE on 6 Feb. 2008
Format: DVD
This is a masterpiece of actual and psychological terror, certainly. But it is also a profound meditation on suffering with an incredibly thought-provoking ending/resolution. Needless to say that the performances are brilliant throughout. Laura Linney and Tom Wilkinson are, as you'd expect, superior. But Jennifer Carpenter is a real revelation. This is not shock-tactic horror cinema. It's far more subtle than that. And the ultimate explanation for what has happened to Emily during the course of the film is far more interesting than merely demons having a party in a vulnerable girl's soul. The vast majority of critics savagely laid into this film. When it comes to ANY paranormal subject matter, the vast majority of critics tend to lose their faculties. To me, this is the best horror film since The Exorcist itself. And, acknowledging the fact that Friedkin's classic was unprecedented and unique, in some ways, The Exorcism of Emily Rose improves on its predecessor. And its spiritual message is far more nuanced.

4.0 out of 5 starsThought Provoking
By Carrot Cruncher on 10 Sept. 2007
Format: DVD
I really enjoyed this film as it allows the viewer to make their own mind up about demonic posession.
It is, as the director says in the commentary, a curious mix of courtroom drama and horror. I found myself really rooting for the man of God (played by Tom Wilkinson) and I really wanted to believe in him.
The horror is subtle, no gore or green vomit a la Exorcist but it is effective in portraying poor emily's descent into madness/posession. If you can remember the trailers for the film, they contained what was the scariest part of the movie for me. Again, I could not help but feel sorry for the EMily character. Perhaps the main weakness about the film is that neither the drama of the courtroom or the horror is sustained as the story necessarily keeps switching between the two. Don't bother if you like non-stop visceral thrills.
So, an enjoyable couple of hours that credits the viewer with some intelligence and certainly made me want to find out about the real case that inspired the film.

5.0 out of 5 starsAtmospheric horror
By J. F. Conybeare on 26 Sept. 2006
Format: DVD
An excellent film, scary, creepy, subtle with no shocks really. I watched this alone in the living room, with all the lights off. I did not feel scared at all. Until, that is the film finished at 0230am. Lights on, was that someone looking through the window, who's shadow passed quickly over the wall. What was that noise. I'll never get to sleep, I wonder if the dog wants to share my bed tonight. All these thoughts and emotions, do I now believe in demons YEP!!!!! I DO !!!!!

Watch this film, watch it late and in the dark I DARE YOU!!!!!!
