Leave your thoughts about The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Andrew WrightApproaches its subject with a gratifying seriousness. Until a late morph into downright religious propaganda, it entertains suspicions of a new classic of the form. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy KleinThere are maybe three effective shock moments. |
| CinefantastiqueSteve Biodrowski"The film finds a way to justify its existence despite the inevitable comparisons to ["The Exorcist"], in whose shadow it will inevtiably stand..." |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithLevitating tweens, rails of pea soup, and young ladies who lose their manners and their bladders at cocktail parties have no place here. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperLinney leads a strong cast but the movie needs to scare us into believing - and its PG-13 content doesn't. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyA sincere and moving film...easily one of the best of 2005 thus far. |
| Supercala.comPaul SalfenAlthough it's not the horror film the trailers will lead you to believe, this film exceeds expectations in every way. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansSo determined not to evoke The Exorcist that it backs itself into being the strangest Law & Order episode you ever saw. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA curious melange of elements...ultimately the disparate parts war against the whole. |
| San Antonio Express-NewsLarry Ratliff(Scott) Derrickson uses a visual sledgehammer. That tilts everything toward horror and dilutes the terrifying power of the supernatural darkness. |
