The Exorcism of Emily Rose is being sold as the latest PG-13 horror
movie, albeit one that deals with demonic possession instead of
ghosts. In reality, however, it's a courtroom drama with a twinge
of the supernatural (most of which occurs during flash-backs).
Those expecting to be scared by this movie will be disappointed.
Aside from the occasional "boo!" moment, the film lacks anything to
stand nape hairs on end, and the trail - which occupies a majority
of the overlong 113 minute running length - is unremarkable,
despite some nice performances.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose is entertaining to the same degree as
any courtroom drama of limited imagination can be. The supernatural
elements add some flavor to the mix, but should not be the reason
to see the film. For what it is, the film does its job, but it's
probably better to wait for the DVD release. This is small-screen
material getting a big-screen treatment. Take away the
performances, and all that would be left is a cheapish B-grade
motion picture.
