Review of The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Thoughts before I watched this.
1. I have heard about this for the 10 years it's been out.
2. It's constantly mentioned as one of the best and most unique of the exorcism sub-genre.
3. I honestly don't know why I have taken so long to see this for myself.
4. It has a surplus amount of highly recognizable faces some of which are A list and B list.
5. This was directed by Scott Derrickson.
6. As a director/writer of his own films like Sinister or Deliver Us From Evil he is amazing!
7. Whenever he works on the ideas of others with sequels or remakes however he tends to fail miserably.
8. I'm glad this is his own creation.
9. Paul Harris Boardman also writes here after making the same flops with Hellraiser: Inferno and Urban Legends: Final Cut with Scott Derrickson.
10. He also worked on Deliver Us From Evil with him as well.
11. I'm really hoping this continues my belief that he is better with his own stories.

Thoughts while I watched this.
1. Those screams are unsettling.
2. This atmosphere is pretty creepy.
3. That was an interesting beginning.
4. That would have been horrifying for anyone to experience!
5. Those demon images are actually pretty neat, but of course that would not be fun to really witness.
6. Jennifer Carpenter has such an epic screaming face.
7. Oh that's interesting for sure.
8. So you're just going to leave that broken glass on the floor?
9. Hell yeah Conrad Grayson aka Henry Czerny!
10. It's very interesting to see the visual representations of the medical and spiritual perspectives of each situation.
11. That would have screwed me up if I found my wife like that!
12. Oh when she spoke in German it seems like a reference to the actual story of what this is based from.
13. I didn't see that coming at all.
14. The ending was alright.
15. So they made it seem that Emily Rose was the real person and added little "facts" before the credits.

Thoughts after I watched this.
1. I do believe that possession is real and so therefore I am on the spiritual end of things.
2. It was definitely more so a courtroom drama rather than just horror.
3. They managed to keep it interesting enough to see how everything plays out.
4. I swear Jennifer Carpenter really pulls off the creepiness needed here.
5. It was a little bit too long and drawn out.
6. It wasn't bad though.
7. There were some great moments and good scares.
8. I thought it was a good one time watch.
