DVD Review "THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE" Score B-

Based on true events, this film explores the trial of a priest for the exorcism death of a young possessed girl and questions whether it was a real possession or the twisted mental illnesses the girl may have had. The doctors and lawyers claim that this was all nothing but a metally troubled girl who needed medication only. The priest simply wanted Emily's real story to be told. The flashback method of storytelling works well and there are a couple moments of terror to be found. In the end no matter what you believe... this one can kick you toward the possible conclusion that the demonic SIX can possess a weak willed person and destroy them. There was an episode of Paranormal State that had a similar case of a young possessed girl and it called itself the six... so this is not an isolated event. Really makes you question what's out there. And was Emily suffering in personal mental illness or for the sake of the rest of us against forces we know not of.
