The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
One person's story of faith and possession.
When a young girl called Emily Rose dies, everyone puts blame on the exorcism which was performed on her by Father Moore prior to her death. The priest is arrested on suspicion of murder. The trial begins with lawyer Erin Bruner representing Moore, but it is not going to be easy, as no one wants to believe what Father Moore says is true.

What kind of watch this is
Scott Derrickson directs a courtroom drama that pauses to become a horror movie. The film spends 122 minutes in a courtroom, but it does not stay there. It cuts away to show what actually happened to Emily Rose, forcing the audience to sit with the terror before the legal system tries to contain it. Laura Linney plays the lawyer, while Tom Wilkinson is the priest on trial. The tension comes from watching the court struggle to classify an event that defies its own rules. It is a slow burn that trusts its audience to keep up.
What the critics said
The critical reception is lukewarm, which is polite for a movie about a demon. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 45%, while Metacritic offers a Metascore of 46 out of 100. The consensus calls it a "ho-hum take on demonic cinema," a verdict that sounds like a yawn with a pulse. Roger Ebert found it "intriguing and perplexing," a combination that usually implies the audience needs a map. Paul Arendt called the flashback "high-octane schlock," which is either a warning or a recommendation, depending on your tolerance for nerves.
How it did with audiences
The Exorcism of Emily Rose has no box office figures listed here, so the numbers stay in the dark. That leaves the crowd’s verdict to do the heavy lifting. On TMDB, users rate it 6.6 out of 10.
What came next for the cast
Jennifer Carpenter traded a single comedy cameo for a decade of playing Dexter’s sister. Tom Wilkinson moved from Rush Hour to The Grand Budapest Hotel. Laura Linney kept landing serious dramas and a turtle movie. The timeline suggests momentum, not causation. Credits just track the path.
