Review

The larger majority of The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a courtroom drama which follows Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) an undervalued, tough-as-nails defense attorney who is representing Father Moore (Tom Wilkinson), a Catholic priest who has been charged with negligent homicide. The rest of the film delves into the horror genre, featuring flashbacks that display the mysterious events leading up to the tragic death of the title character (the impressive and uncommonly flexible Jennifer Carpenter), a student who believed herself to be possessed by powerful malevolent forces and was placed under Father Moore’s care. The film presents nothing new. Instead, it combines these two formulaic genres that most would not ordinarily expect to see together. The setting and tone of each of the parallel stories tend to be so different that it can become difficult to make a serious investment in either. Nevertheless, the genuinely frightening and largely unpredictable segments featuring Emily in her demonic state should be more than enough to keep scare seekers (especially scare seekers with any kind of Christian background) pleased and are probably worth the attempt to ignore any other flaws that the film may have. When it comes to blending scenes involving the paranormal with realistic human drama, director Scott Derrickson (Hellraiser: Inferno) is no William Friedkin, but he is able to deliver a favorable level spine-tingling tension. As this will be the biggest draw for most viewers with an interest in the film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose should not dissapoint.
