We rented The Exorcism of Emily Rose on Amazon, and while Bryce couldn’t seem to stay awake, I was reminded of one of my favorite possession movies ever made. This was a Patreon pick of the month, and they voted on it, so we reviewed it. * Intro - (0:41)* Trailer(s) - (4:41) * Synopsis - (7:04) * Review - (10:55) * Score - (13:26) * Spoilers - (19:28) * Final Recommendations - (1:09:44) * Attack of the Rotten Tomatoes - (1:11:33) * It Came From Social Media - (1:24:48)* Outro - (1:35:30) Synopsis of The Exorcism of Emily Rose The Exorcism of Emily Rose is directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister) and is the story of a court case where The People are prosecuting Father Moore (Tom Wilkinson) for the negligent homicide of Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter). Good news for Father Moore, Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) is on the case. https://youtu.be/cmLfRVVRbmg As we are walked through the trial, we get glimpses into the hellish end of days that made up Emily’s life. She was a deeply devout catholic girl in a deeply devout catholic family, and that never seems to be a good combination in possession movies.  Watch The Exorcism of Emily RoseWatch on AmazonClick to Watch The defender of The People is Ethan Thomas (Campbell Scott), and he makes the claims that Emily was epileptic and psychotic, which could have been treated medically.  Erin has to come to terms with her own lack of faith to depict this priest in the light of his intentions and the reality that the possession was real, and the exorcism was vital to save Emily from the devil. Review of The Exorcism of Emily Rose The Exorcism of Emily Rose is an interesting and well-executed movie that really floored me the first time I watched it several years after it’s 2005 release. I’ve seen it a handful of times since then, and it continues to be compelling to watch. The visuals in this movie work best on the first go-around, so it didn’t have the same disturbing impact on me this time as it did my first viewing. I appreciate the new twist on an old classic - being told from the perspective of the homicide case made it much less of a movie about possession and much more of a movie about faith and religion. The Defense attorney had her own brushes with the demonic during her trial, which gave the movie stakes in the present. This movie respects the audience and shows a lot of restraint in favor of fewer terrifying moments. The result is that these very disturbing scenes have a heavier impact.
