The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Thu Aug 25, 2005 1:48:19 AM #12819 Perm Link

While defending a Catholic priest (Wilkinson) who has been charged with the negligent homicide of an 19-year-old girl, an attorney's (Linney) faith is reawakened.

The trailer is here http://movies.go.com/movies/trailer?name=exorcism-of-emily-rose_2005&genre=drama&studio=Sony%20Screen%20Gems

Yes, I have been waiting for that one...Looks like a good movie
HOWEVER, any Horror/Scarey movie rated PG-13 is NOT going to be all THAT scarey! C'mon Hollywood!

It doesnt have to be rated R to be scary, rated R just means there is a lot of bad language and gore, and lots of sex. That doesnt translate to scary to me, that is just retarded.

I see now that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevent. It is wat you do with the gift of life that makes you who you are.

Does your statement that rated R movies JUST mean there is a lot of bad language and gore and lots of sex? What the hell kind of rated R movies you watching ? I didn't know that lots of bad language, sex and gore were requirements for rated R movies. There was a lot of bad language in the Dukes of Hazzard movie and it was rated PG-13. Maybe it should have been rated R? Oh wait, it didn't meet the lots of sex and lots of gore requirements.

My statement only meant that I believe for a movie to be TRULY downright scarey, it needs to cross over into that rated R realm. Whether it be for the added gore or whatever, I don't care. I just know I have seen PLENTY of PG-13 scarey movies and PLENTY of R rated scarey movies and the R rated ones have been scarier in my experience.

Making sense and being false are two different things.

Anyway, I heard from a coworker that the movie was a trial type movie. One person said it was good and another said it was bad.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Anyway, I just watched the movie yesterday and I thought it was pretty good. It is a bit more trial based but it still goes thru what happend to emily. As scary as one would think that movie would be tho, me and my friends laughed thru some parts that we found funny and at the people in the back screaming.

This one time while transcending simple physical space...

If your parents got divorced would they still be brother and sister?

e.g. my perception: That you an unintelligent pudding head, inspiration for the use of condoms, and are what makes incestuous sex notorious.

Maybe if it was rated R with more boobies and gore and cursing it woulda been scarier???

LMFAO!

I'll wait for it to come out on DVD after all this.

LOL man it is so easy to piss you guys off, no wonder I came back here.

Now I have a simple easy question for you that shouldnt cause too much strain on your very small brain that seems to have an obvious lack of intelligence.

What the fuck does incest, condoms, and all of the sex related subject in your post have to do with anything? That statement proves to me that you are one of the many retarded people that i enjoy tormenting so much for my own sick pleasure.

Now a movie can only be rated R for bad language if they say Fuck more than one time. I have found many horror movies, or thrillers (which are sometimes scarier than horrors) to be rated PG13 and yet scarier than most horrors. Movies like The Sixth Sense prove my point.

By the way, if you do not like the way or context that i use the word retarded, well frankly I dont give a damn.

I see now that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevent. It is wat you do with the gift of life that makes you who you are.

After reading many reviews..it appears this movie is not all that scarey..go figure...should been rated R and had boobies, then it woulda been scarey, I mean a porn, oh well damnitt!

Here's one review..read up:

Quote
What have we learned from recent "thriller" film history? Well, for one thing, we've learned that the trailer is not necessarily indicative at all of the quality of the film it represents. In fact, that most often is not the case. We've learned that from "The Village." We've also learned that from "Boogeyman." We've learned that film studios will take all the most interesting parts of a film and cram them into a trailer/commercial to entice us to see the movie. And we've ultimately learned that this leads to tragedy.

If you've seen the previews/commercials for this film, you'll know what I'm talking about when I mention the cool effects of people's faces turning into live-action Edward Munch paintings. What you won't know, unless you've seen the film, is that that is precisely ALL this film has to offer in terms of fright. And, because we've seen it all in the previews/commercials, it has zero effect.

The rest of the film is a downright bore. It takes place primarily in the courtroom, with us listening to horribly written arguments from lawyers regarding the cause of death of Emily Rose. The filmmakers chose to represent the side of the law as bad, heartless people, while the defense was depicted as holy - above the law - and compassionate. For some reason, the writer(s) conveniently neglected to bring up the fact that the law does not recognize the existence of supernatural powers, and defense arguments based on these concepts is not allowed. So I was very upset to see the defense basing their entire argument on what they called the "fact" that Emily Rose was indeed possessed. It just... doesn't work.

The acting is subpar all around. How they roped Tom Wilkinson into this film, I will never know. Maybe he owed someone a favor. But even he doesn't try to do anything with his role. Laura Linney is perhaps the worst performer overall, as she plays the defense attorney, Erin Ber... whatever her last name was, it wasn't important enough for me to care. A scene where she questions her agnosticism plays off more as humorous than anything else. She apparently also has a drinking problem. Woop dee doo.

Which leads me to my next point. Perhaps it's not the cast's fault for such bad acting. I suppose the blame could really lie with the writers. The dialogue is the absolute lowest of tripe. Characters regularly spout such ridiculous lines as "Until I met Emily, I was dead inside" and "Of all the people to find this locket, why me? It must be a sign" and let's not forget Emily's possessors saying to the priest "Think you can kick me out? I dare you to try!" sounds like nothing more than playground bickering.

One more thing I had a gross problem with is the overal effort of this film. At a later part, it's revealed in a letter written by Emily that she hopes, through her story, that more people will come to believe in the supernatural and believe in God. If you hadn't already picked it up, it's painfully obvious at that moment that that is exactly what the goal of this film is. It's religious brainwashing, and, in the wake of the lunacy that's occured in Kansas of late, leaves a very nasty taste in my mouth.

In all, this is one of the worst films I've ever seen. To sum, take one part Jimmy Lee Farnsworth, one part Exorcist, one part Law and Order and one heavy dose of uniterested screenwriters, and you have the pile of crap that is this movie. I urge you to not see this.

Your entire demeanor for this topic has been incredibly rude, condescending, and bullheaded. It�s no wonder everybody dislikes what you have had to say. Here�s a suggestion: if you disagree with someone, don�t insult them, just explain why you disagree. Your first post of �It doesnt have to be rated R to be scary, rated R just means there is a lot of bad language and gore, and lots of sex. That doesnt translate to scary to me, that is just retarded.� is what set everyone off and it would have been perfectly fine had you just left off the last part of the last sentence. People skills are a plus in life. (anyone who knows me must be laughing their asses off that I�m saying this to someone else) Try being a little more pleasant to your fellow man and you will see much better reactions on a whole.

NOw this is under the assumption that i care whether they like me or not.

In my first statement i was not calling the person retarded, i was calling the reasons for rating a movie R for features that dont translate into fear retarded because gore doesnt scare me, nor should it scare anyone really. Fear in movies should come from proper suspense and not from what you do see but what you THINK you saw. That is how true horror movies are made.

Yes I agree, you weren't calling the person retarded. All I am saying is that tone matters in places like this, and even if you don't care if people like what you have to say, it makes it a better experience for all of us if there isn't any form of this silly in-fighting going on.

Your concept of why a movie is rated R or PG-13 or whatever seems to be pretty narrow.
Maybe you need to read up on how movies are rated.
http://www.filmratings.com/questions.htm

The Dukes of Hazzard is a perfect example of a movie, I think should have been rated R and wasn't.

I quote from a Dukes of Hazzard movie review.
"A muttered f-word makes its way into the main script; several more are partially muted during outtakes. The s-word gets a workout (it's voiced nearly 20 times; many times it's linked to "holy.") Jesus' name is forcefully abused a handful of times; God's name is combined with "d--n" about 10 times. A woman makes an obscene gesture. Add in milder profanities, and the average tops one a minute for the film's nearly two-hour duration"
And even with all the sexual content it was still rated PG-13..I wish I would have known how bad it was going to be before I took my two young boys to see it. They hated it.

Who rated this post down besides Alexie? It made perfect sense and wasn't the slightest bit offensive. It was -2 before a rated it up one.

Quick review of The Exorcism of Emily Rose:

I enjoy the exorcist in terms of being pretty damn creepy, and some of the other films. This one's no exception in my opinion. I went to see some disturbing images and horror, and the film delivered well enough. I don't usually jump by fast, in your face scares, but this one caught me off guard a couple times, resulting in a decent shock. The end scene with the girl goes over the top, but overall, I was satisfied. If you liked some of the other exorcism films, and don't mind the courtroom setting with substantial flashbacks to the horror, then you probably won't mind The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Scares: 7/10
Disturbing images: 8/10
Story: 7/10
Acting: 7/10
Boring level: Not that boring thanks to the numerous, lengthy flashbacks to the possessed girl.
Recommended for: Exorcist movie fans. Not as good as the original, but that's expected.

Overall: 7/10
Would I buy the DVD? No.

My 14 year old went and saw it this weekend and said it wasn't scarey at all. All the scarey parts, you see in the previews, of the people's faces melting etc. Most of it was court-room drama. The only thing that kept their interest was the fact that it was based on a true story.
