Review of The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) by Allie F — 24 Jul 2018
The exorcism of Emily Rose is categorized as a horror film but in my opinion, it is more of a courtroom drama, with bits of horror thrown in. Which isn't to say this film is not scary- some scenes are genuinely unsettling, and all the credit should go to Jennifer Carpentar who plays the possessed Emily Rose as good as any since Linda Blair.
To its credit the acting is also quite good and with thespians such as Laura Linney and Tom Wilkinson it better be. The pacing is good and the back and forth scenes between the exorcism and the court is swift and without any jagged effects.
This is a good film to watch but beware- it isn't strictly horror.
