The Exorcism of Emily Rose Reviews |
The main problem with “Emily” is that the pieces of information needed to understand the story are hoarded and dispensed with all the care of a game of Pogs. The combination of supernatural thriller and courtroom drama is an unholy union to begin with, but it becomes downright ludicrous when the rules of neither genre are followed.. [read review] 
--Brian Buzz Juergens (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
Somehow the movie really never takes off into the riveting fascination we expect in the opening scenes. Maybe it cannot; maybe it is too faithful to the issues it raises to exploit them. A movie like "The Exorcist" is a better film because it's a more limited one, which accepts demons and exorcists lock, stock and barrel, as its starting point. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
a very good horror film and the second best demonic possession movie behind you know what. There are some excellent scares in the film along with an exceptional cast. My only gripes are some overlong courtroom sequences and a little bit of tameness with the demonic aspects. [read review] 8/10
--Albert Koleba (thefilmasylum.com)
THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE does little beyond and teaching its audience the darker implications of 3 in the morning. Carpenter shrieks and snarls, Wilkinson frets piously, and Linney knits her brows, but all in such a reverent way that the necessary emotional fireworks never ignite. It fails to break any new ground visually, and wastes the talents of some of the finest actors working today. [read review]
--Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
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. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
The Exorcist, while shamelessly flawed in its portrayal of exorcism, told a personal tale of fighting inner demons and regaining faith. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is interesting and entertaining but definitely has some demons of its own holding it back. [read review] 
--Chris Wilson (eFilmCritic.com)
An amazingly creepy film, that is possibly the best film about possession ever made. It's realistic, emotional, and most important of all, the film never comes out and tells you what to believe. [read review] 
--Hyde (horror-web.com)
There’s a good chance The Exorcism of Emily Rose may drown in that bottomless sea of ho-hum, me-too horror vehicles, but if you’re a fan of exorcism flicks, it’s worth a look. [read review]
--J.P. Mangalindan (MovieWeb)
This is a good smart horror/drama that leaves it up to the audience to figure out the truth. It pulls off some fairly decent scares along with a nice interesting storyline. [read review] 7/10
--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
... It does have a creepy atmosphere surrounding it and two hours do fly by pretty quickly, but the lack of depth in Emily's character made the movie loose points. [read review]
--AnthroFred (SlasherPool)
The Exorcism Of Emily Rose is tedious nonsense for people who thought The Exorcist was a little too vulgar. [read review]

There are some good things in “The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” but they don’t add up to a satisfying whole. [read review] C
