The Exorcism of Emily Rose by Scott Derrickson - 2005
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is directed by Scott Derrickson and has bagged an award in both Golden Trailer Awards and MTV Movie Awards. However, it is not a sequel of the Exorcist.
In this horror movie, Father Moore (Tom Wilkinson) conducts an exorcism on a young Catholic girl Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter) who is suffering from Epilepsy. Unfortunately she dies just a couple of days after the incident. Though initially Emily’s parents have given full consent to Father Moore for the exorcism, they start to blame him for negligible homicide after the death of their daughter. Father Moore has in fact asked Emily to stop the medication for her epilepsy. To avoid the charges and scandal, an ambitious lawyer Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) is hired. The Court room is stormed by the battle between the religion and science. To know the end, you have to watch the movie.
I have really admired the job done by the director Derrickson. The screenplay and cinematography are high class along with the direction. Acting of Laura Lineey is noteworthy especially in the role of the lawyer Erin Bruner. The movie contains good qualities of special effects, which in turn makes the movie more enjoyable. The background score is added very efficiently and thus it makes the movie more interesting. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a movie worth watching.
My Rating - 8/10
