The trailer of this movie is misleading.

This film is actually a courtroom drama disguised as a chiller. Based on a true story, a Catholic Priest (Tom Wilkinson) represented by Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) is on trial for homicidal negligence after performing a failed exorcism on Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter) now dead.

It’s a trial between the people and the priest, who believes Emily was possessed by the demons.

The scenes of possession are quite scary, but you probably seen most of it in the trailer. Although I was mislead, I was gratified it was not just a ‘scare you’ horror movie. Matched with topnotch acting, it goes into great depth and is rather thought provoking.

Be warned: A dark sense of foreboding may follow you long. The night I went back, I woke up suddenly feeling strange, and it was 3am in the morning. If 3am means nothing to you now, it would after Emily Rose.
