definitely a thinking person`s horror movie.....it was more disturbing/unsettling than shocking which in the long run is actually scarier...if you are expecting Boogeyman or Nightmare On Elm Street, you will be disappointed, but if you value plot and suspense over schlocky special effects and gore, give this a shot....
The film was very well done. It was different. It was spooky, It was creepy, it was weird...And folks that`s what it was supposed to be! Excellent job! not perfect!! but vry well done...4 stars!
There is a lot of truth and vision in a movie like this. You gotta have valour to film a movie like this one.
Scary... a little, but Intense...ALOT!!! This movie is not what it seems from the trailer where most of the time you see the best scenes in the trailer itself, there are far more better & memorable scenes in the movie than that. I liked it alot, much more poingnant than "The Exorcist"...Makes me wanna know more about the real story!
sorry but this movie was a waste of my time and money - trust me, all the scary parts were shown on the commercials.
EXCELLENT MOVIE WITH DEPTH!!! 5 STARS!
I thought it was worth four stars. Before I saw it I was expecting it not to be scary because I thought "Big deal. Their Eyes are black and dripping." But it turned out to be better than the commercial. I`m glad it had "breaks", otherwise there would be too much freakiness going on.
Wonderful movie. Very gripping and compelling. They succeeded in making you feel for each character. Although it wasn`t exactly like the real Emily Rose`s story (Analeise Michel), it was fairly close. This movie really makes you think. Catholic or not you will find yourself wondering what would happen if you were Emily. If you are a serious person and enjoy movies where there is a good story line along with complete explanation, then I suggest you see this one. 5 stars.
Real eye-opener. Mezmerizing and factual--it`s scary. The movie kept both of us glued to our seats. Certain parts of the movie were so good that my girlfriend kept her eyes closed. Really though, much better than The Exorcist. And it`s based on a true story. Certainly the number one horror flick for the year. A must see!!!
I JUST LOVE HORROR FILMS BUT EMILY ROSE IS THE BEST. LOVE EVERYONE THAT PARTICPATED. LOVE YAA.
This movie was okay... I liked "Scream 2" better. It was a lot more scarier! Diu!
WOW.I saw this movie last week and i still get freaked out.before this movie.the only movie that scared me this way was a movie with a little girl named reagan.
A great film. I was scared and moved, moved meaning I felt like saying my prayers. When the movie was over everyone walked out in silence, people didn`t know what to say or feel, they just scared.
Not what I expected for a horror movie, this one actually had a story to it. I thought it was entertaining and scary if you believe in that stuff! 4 stars.
Let me clarify this: Those who likes senseless killing, bloodshed, organs been gutted out, etc. then do not watch this movie, I repeat DO NOT for you gonna hugely disappointed! This is one of the few horror movie that is strong and captivating. The story line is actually good and the casts are all good especially Emily Rose. Those who still prefers a dumb movie should watch "A sound of thunder" as the movie is fill with cheesy lines and casts...and most important of all, the idiotic plot otherwise Emily Rose movie would be too complicated for you.
The preformances were wonderful, however I found the content lacking. It left me a non-believer.
when i aroze from that theater, i thought to myself. OH MY GOD. This was definetly quite a scare, but OH MY GOD it tried a little too hard with all the really dumb unneccarsary scares. I mean seriously, even a movie as old as The Exorcist was made way better than how this movie was made. OH MY GOD
It`s not meant to be superscary.......but wow, what a movie. You still think about it the next day!!! If you just want a scare and no storyline, then see The Exorcist
Great movie The aim of this movie is to tell a story, not scare you to death through blood and gore. If this movie scares you, you need to ask yourself why and the movie answers that question for you. Well made, well writtern and Jennifer Carpenter was excellent. She is very convincing.
I must insist that only those who believe in these things should go to see this movie to fully appreciate it. In my opinion, it is one of the best modern horror movie I have seen. A must for those who have any kind of religious background.
Not as scary as THE EXORCIST but it tells a true story about a girl that was possesed buy demons BRILLIANT.
This movie by far is one of the best ones I have seen this year. It is not like any other movies in this genre which only promote blood, violence and/or gory details to surprise the audience, but rather it is tastefully done and gives people food for thought. The dialogue in court and the flashbacks give an excellent background to understand the movie as it unfolds. I would recommend this movie to those who have faith and also those who believe they are atheists and/or agnostic...haha heck that`s everyone.
the exerocism of emily rose really asked the question was she really possed or a victime of some incurable disease. you be the judge
This movie was a great suspensful thriller. I really loved the cinematography. Knowing that this was a "possibility" scares the hell out of me. hah. Although i do believe that they gave away many of the scary parts in the trailer.. which made it less chilling in the theatres. -John B.
Awesome, nerve wracking.
Great movie.It does make one believe that demons and angels exist in this world.This movie promotes the Roman Catholic religion and makes one look inside themselves.
this movie was great. I really liked that it wasnt about SCARING people, but about telling the story. I really liked the courtroom stuff because it gave you a break from the scary stuff....it was REALLY well done
What an amazing movie. Great Thriller, edge of your seat suspense filled. We need more movies like this one to come out. Great balance of 2 genres (courtroom drama, thriller). 5/5
I liked that this was more than an attempt to scare me to death!! It was scary and it had an interesting story - that`s a change - unlike the completely pointless "Dark Water." I am not religious at all but this movie makes you look at a different side of life and if nothing else the possibility that there is "something" out there other than us. A must see!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the few thrilling movies made this year. I enjoyed the story telling of Emily Rose which make you think about the after life as well as the things that are in this life. Great movie to see for all those who love to get a spook or two.
Why does the commercial look so bad?? How are those effects scary, when all it is, is people`s eyes and mouths being blacked out. Wow. It looks so dumb.
Best Movie!!! It`s scary at first but it really makes you think... One the best and most touching movies I`ve seen this year.
I don`t understand. I thought the movie was boring. yeah, the flashbacks were KIND of scary.. then it would just go back to the courtroom drama which the WHOLE movie was about!! LAME plot. "oh let Emily tell her story". they should have SHOWN her story. HORRIBLE movie. the previews were deceiving. it`s NOT a scary movie.. dont`expect it to be. if you liked "a FEW GOOD MEN" , then this is for you.
VERY SCARY!!!
Very, very good movie. It made me more interested in my Catholic Religion and if Demons truely exist. I believe the Devil and Demons exist and hopefully in the middle of the night, I don`t smell something burning.
THIS MOVIE IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER. IT`S SCARY BUT KINDA FUNNY IN SOME PARTS. THIS MOVIE IS SO WORTH YOUR MONEY.IF I RATED THIS MOVIE OUT OF 10 IT WOULD GET A 20. BUT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF 5 I GAVE IT A FIVE. WATCH THIS MOVIE, YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A smart scary movie. 80 thumbs up!
Excellent scary movie that is also a very well told story. Solid script and craftsmanship.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a powerful and captivating film. It grabs your attention from the moment it starts, `till the minute it ends. One of the best films of the year along side The Island, and Batman Begins. Jennifer Carpenter gives a powerhouse performance, other than her previous work such as White Chicks. This film is based on a true story, which makes it even more scary just thinking about how this can happen to anyone. This is a very intense and emotional film.
This movie freaked me out, it was really scary and I feel even more scared after watching it. I don`t have a good sleep, the scenes flashback in memory.
a great film. very exhilarating. it`s not too jumpy but the fact that it`s based on a true story makes it very creepy. TERRIFYING! go watch it, and believe.
The main point of this movie is not just all about making you jump out from your seat. There is a very meaningful idea behind this movie. This movie is definitely a worthy one to see.
Very scary..but thats what makes is so GREAT!! Best movie ive seen in a long time!!
I only voted 1 star because there is no spot for no stars. I was verry disipointed in the film because the previews were better that the movie was. So if you want to waste your money go see this movie.... at least the popcorn was good
An excellent movie that disects and shows the experience of an exorcist and the process of an exorcism. I find that this is better than `The Exorcist` in ways where this one is psychological and is not side tracked by special effects. Worth seeing more than once.
Emily Rose is a magnificant story. I hope that no one else gets possessed though. It looks so scary that i think everyone will need to bring extra underwear! Cause I kno I`ll probably need em` LOLOL. Love the film it`s very cool and interesting, this film will probably get people who are atheis believe in somethin`!!
SCARIEST MOVIE IVE SEEN ALL YEAR!! the acting was excellent. great horror/thriller movie. a must see movie!!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM LEFT SPEECHLESS......
Greatest horror ever, puts the first Exorcism to shame, and it didn`t even use any Special affects exept for the few scenes you see on T.V.
SOOOOO AMAZING!!! why do young teeny boppers in the theatre have to be so obnoxious??!!
