Review of The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) by Breeyon B — 03 Nov 2012

Bogged down with its courtroom drama, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" could have used a little less talk and a little more exorcism of Emily Rose. Jennifer Carpenter pulls off the performance better than expected but overall the film offers little that we haven't seen before.

Though the film often hints at expanding the demonic possession, especially with Laura Linney's nightly 3:00 wake up calls, there is nothing that ever really transpires. With constantly shifting events and no real solid story-telling, what could have been a very effective horror film somewhat drops the ball.
