The Exorcism of Emily Rose

This has got to be one of the worst pieces of rubbish to have been released this year. No word of a lie. It's basically a 2hr big screen court case with flashbacks etc, over the top bad acting and has the same already covered in a billion other possession films and TV documentaries central theme. The trailer for it is one of the most misleading I have ever seen in terms of the actual film material itself.

If you want to be bored to death then it's definitely the film for you. I actually left the cinema about 25mins before the end and I haven't done that for years. :rolleyes:
 
Look at the trailer. It looks laughable. You don't have to attempt 'f**ked up' visuals, to try and make something scary. Terrible film making.Makes you wonder how these people can actually call themselves movie makers.
 
I really liked it. I am a fan of those kind of horror films though. But I did find it creepy, especially with it being based on a true story.

I've always been interested in ghosts and stuff though, so maybe if you're not, you might not like it.

Its mainly about the court case that the preist is involved with, having flash backs to Emily's life and possesion when its talked about in court.

Although not the best film ever, I really liked it. :D
 
I thought that Tom Wilkinson was pretty good in it as the priest although I agree that it was more of a court room drama than a scary horror film (although I did watch one or two moments of it from behind a cushion)
 
The aRAB on TV that seem to come on every 5 mins are so grating! I keep having to mute them out.:mad: I love a good horror film, but this just looks so crap. I am not a fan of growling, bad hair & frothing at the mouth stuff. :rolleyes: :yawn:
 
I am also very interested in the paranormal. Watch Poltergeist. There hasn't been a better ghost/paranormal film since its inception in 1981 but I mean how could there have been? It was the first of its kind and is still regarded today as a hugely popular supernatural/horror classic so naturally its been ripped off to high heaven throughout the years, the most recent knock-off I can think of being White Noise = Bore Fest.

Poltergeist is a fantastic film. The first sequel is definitely worth your time but skip the third entry (it's awful).

Poltergeist/Poltergeist II/Poltergeist III
 
I saw the trailers for this and thought that it was going to be rubbish, but went along to see it anyway, and I'm really glad I did, it was a fantastic film. But then again, I love horror movies and courtroom dramas, so this was a great movie for me :)
 
it was total shit! saw it last night and I wish i wa having an exorcism done on me just to ecape the movie. if you want a good exoricsm movie then watch the exorcist. if you want a good demonic movie watch the omen, and if you want a good courtroom drama then watch a time to kill or a few good men.
 
I liked this movie when I saw it a few months back. Much better than I thought it was going be.

I think the problem most people have with it is that they are expecting a non-stop frightfest and what they get is flashbacks to the event itself.

This is not a horror film so anyone going to see it under thae impression that it is (and it partly the fault of the ad campaign that protrays it as a 'scary movie') will probably be disappointed.

For me the mix between the slower court scenes and the contract with the comparatively intense flashbacks worked well. I really enjoyed it.
