Review of The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) by Donp. — 11 Sep 2005

This film was far better than the reviews made it out to be - I agree with the Chronicle's review "a thinking man's horror film". I'm a huge Laura Linney fan and thought she was fabulous.

I was sucked in, and much more scared and shook up than I am by stupid grotesque slasher movies. This film avoids cheap exploitations to try to convey what actually happened, and I find that to be more unsettling.

Go see it. It's interesting that the users' ratings are so much higher than the critics'.
