Review: The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The movie title certainly suggests a scary movie. But let’s be honest, after The Excorcist, nothing really scared the pants off me like that again. This movie tries to up the scare factor by being based on true events. Adding a certain sense of realism usually is enough, but in this case, it gets a bit blunt after the first half. While acting is up to par, it’s the unfolding story that’s not too surprising. Besides the obvious devilish growling and contorted body positions, this movie is actually a courtroom drama. And buried underneath that, there’s even a spiritual message to think about. Who’d’ve thought ?7+.
