Movie Review: The Exorcism of Emily Rose

by Abby H.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a chilling tale about a young college student that was possessed with demons. The movie begins with the medical examiner coming to the Rose home and pronouncing nineteen-year-old Emily dead. The movie then proceeds with the court case against the priest who was Emily's exorcist. His lawyer, Erin Bruner, will try everything she has to see that the priest is not charged with Emily's murder. She makes the attempt to prove in a court of law that Emily Rose was possessed by demons and that her only hope was Father Moore. As the prosecuting attorney tries to blame Father Moore with refusing to let Emily receive medical attention, Ms. Bruner shows that there was no medicine that could help Emily and the thing she truly needed was the power of God.
