The Exorcism of Emily Rose is being sold as the latest PG-13 horror movie, albeit one that deals with demonic possession instead of ghosts. In reality, however, it's a courtroom drama with a twinge of the supernatural (most of which occurs during flash-backs). Those expecting to be scared by this movie will be disappointed. Aside from the occasional "boo!" moment, the film lacks anything to stand nape hairs on end, and the trail - which occupies a majority of the overlong 113 minute running length - is unremarkable, despite some nice performances.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose is entertaining to the same degree as any courtroom drama of limited imagination can be. The supernatural elements add some flavor to the mix, but should not be the reason to see the film. For what it is, the film does its job, but it's probably better to wait for the DVD release. This is small-screen material getting a big-screen treatment. Take away the performances, and all that would be left is a cheapish B-grade motion picture. -

I found it rather disturbing... but it has a very good storyline (maybe because it is a true story)
This is the only movie that keeps me on my seat throughout the session... I was in the theater with a full bladder somemore... scared until dunno like what...
I am especially freaked out during the exorcism -
"I am the one who lives within..."
"And I am the one who comes in HIS name!" -

watched it yesterday...was wondering how come the name so funny one
..until they read out their name one by one towards the end -
The storyline was what captivated me the most, how they argued in a court of law about fact and the superparanormal.
The general fright level of the film was'nt exactly very high but the thoughts of demons and possessions existing might scare some. It might make you think about stuffs after the movie..
One thing I don't quite get, towards the end when the verdict was passed down, what was the recommendation made by the jury?
