The Exorcism Of Emily Rose

When is a horror movie not a horror movie? When it's a court-room drama!! That's basically The Exorcism Of Emily Rose. Now, you might be getting the idea that I hate this movie, and you'd be wrong, I just don't think that it really belongs in the horror section of the video store.



The Exorcism Of Emily Rose is probably one of the best 'non-horror' horror movies I've ever seen. Now, are there horror elements to this movie? Absolutely! Is it a horror movie? Absolutely Not! This is based on a real life Canadian criminal case, where a young girl was starved to death while her local priest was 'exorcising' the demons from her body. The great thing about this movie is that it doesn't take sides, you get to see both sides of the story. The viewer isn't sure if Emily is actually posessed or if she's got a mental disorder, and while that may sound like a bad thing, it really isn't!

As horror movies go, The Exorcism Of Emily Rose isn't the scariest movies I've ever seen, but as far as movies in general go, this is one of the best I've seen in quite a while! The producers of The Exorcism Of Emily Rose did something that most movie producers today don't do...HIRE WRITERS! I can't recommend The Exorcism Of Emily Rose enough, this is a great movies that is well worth the price of your rental!



I'm giving The Exorcism Of Emily Rose four fully lit cigars, because as movies go, it really doesn't get a whole lot better than this! So, until next time, when I'll reveal that after I was exorcised, the priest deemed me un-redeem-able and wrote me off as a 'spawn of satan', but, at least after all the exorcising, I remember that the best movies are bad movies!!!
