Its a pretty good trailer, there's a blurb about an actual recording in the beginnning of the trailer... kinda makes me wonder how I could get my hands on that.

[Tony]

I've been checking out info on this movie as well and it does indeed look great. I can't wait to see it. Until I caught the trailer it seemed like a boring ass trial movie. I was thrilled to see that it is not.

[barbra]

well if no one else will..

it might be cool, I like the idea of exorcisms

[Terrin_the_Vamp]

it seems pretty good. i like stories that are supposedly based on true stories anyways

[immortalem]

I saw the trailer for this and it looks totally creepy. It is supposedly based on a true story which makes it a little creepier. I can't wait till this comes out. Supposedly the Catholic Church has a sound recording of this exorcism, has anyone else heard this and if so do you know where it is so I could hear it?

[alkytrio666]

Looks good. I kind of worry thoguh that they slapped a PG-13 on an exorcism movie. I'll definately be there though.

[1428elmstreet]

yeah i saw it....can wait for it to come out...i think it will be pretty good!

[lbuie]

looks extremely good

thanks again to newb who sent me the trailer very new to this sight.

Where did you see a PG-13 rating?

I mean my understanding is that any movie that deals with demonic and or devil realted themes has to work its ass off to get anything other than PG-13, hense crapy Spawn which was supposed to be R b/c of its themes.

I'm asking b/c I'm really tired of PG-13 horrors, I think they take something away from the movie that other wise would have been there had it been R. I mean just imagine a PG-13 Jason, probably wouldn't happen but who would have thought that AVP would be PG-13?

awesome! it comes out on my birthday!

I've always been interested in the idea of exorcism, does anybody know of any good books on the subject or websites?

[bloodrayne]

I watched the trailer for this last night...I have GOT to see this movie:cool:


More Info...And Another Trailer (http://movies.about.com/od/theexorcismofemilyrose/)



Of course, they ALL look good in the trailers...They're supposed to...

Actually its a little bit more than that, the movie is going to be like flash backs I think, b/c its going to be told from the the perpective of the priest who tried to perform the exorism. The priest is in jail and I think he is going to trial for the death of the girl b/c I know that she dies since they have a court trail and in some of the trailer they show that a lawyer tries to bring up psych disorderes to blam for Emily Rose's condition.

But I might not see this in theaters since its PG-13, that sucks major balls!

9 out of the 15 movies in my sig arent rated R, so Ill still check this out in theatres.

[lbuie]

Thanks alot for telling everyone how the movie will end brilliant move!!!!!:( :( :(

[Prelude95Si]

I didn't tell everyone how the movie will end, just watch the trailer its preeety obvious that the movie does not revolve around the exorism itself like "The Exorist," plus when I first saw the trailer it was on Comming Attractions on E! and the person doing the show introduced the trailer with the same info I stated earlier.
So everyone relax I didn't spoil anything.

I'm not dogging on PG-13 movies in general, personaly most of my favorite movies are PG and PG-13, but I feel that a movie that deals with Satanic themes deserves an R rating b/c of the types of themes it should explore. But the trailer is preety creepy so I might watch it.

[BLOODYDAMNED]

Looks pretty cool!

[satanic_psycho]

me personaly was never into the exorcist cause i had been told it was a very scary movie and so i rented it then was getting ready to be scared but i laughed or sleppt the whole movie expecialy the part were she started stabbin her self with the croos but since this is based on a true story i might check it out

[BLOODYDAMNED]

Yeah,I just hope it isn't a exorcist rip off.

I doubt it will be.

Well,let's hope not.

This is my biggest fear. I love The Exorcist (but in the same vane as a car wreck...I want to watch it everytime it's on...but scares the shit outta me...I just can't look away though).

Most movies don't get the same emotional response that The Exorcist gets out of me...so any movie that comes out with the same subject matter is going to be under a very critical microscope from me.

I hope this movie finds a way to seperate itself from the obvious comparisons.

NOTE: Based on an earlier post in this thread...I STILL don't get why The Exorcist makes people laugh. lol. I've heard that a few times now -- mainly from a younger audience watching it for the first time...may be outdated to them, I dunno. But seriously, even though it is an old movie...still scares the fuck out of me more than ANY horror movie made with all the blood/gore super special effects.

[lbuie]

I agree with you the exorcist scares me to death, but i can't seem to change the channel. Hopefully this new movie will be good. I'm just scared to know what's actually true and what's not. I heard they have an actual tape of this girl being possed. Is that what we here on the trailer or is that there interpertation?

I completely agree about The Exorcist. No movie has frightened me more. And like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it is one of those films that fascinates me and repulses me at the same time. I agree, I can't tear my eyes from the screen. Which makes it one of the most effective horror movies ever made. If not the most effective. I find nothing at all funny about The Exorcist. And I actually had a guy tell me that The Ring was scarier than The Exorcist....huh? LOL I don't get that at all. I suppose everyone is different.

I don't know about the Exorcism of Emily Rose. I have seen the trailer and it looks like it could be okay, we'll see. But I don't see it having nearly the emotional impact of The Exorcist.

[satanic_psycho]

well since its pg-13 it must not have a whole lot of blood or cussing so im guessing its kinda just something you would like if into stories

[Slayer76]

i just have a question... i have never see the first exorcist but i've seen 2, 3, and the beginning so i can't say whether its gonna be as scary as the first one. is the first exorcist scarier than 2, 3, and the beginning?

o yeah... haha the exorcism of emily rose is based on a real story... that must have been hell to go through if it was real. i couldn't even imagine what it must have been like. but yeah the movie looks really good.

[satanic_psycho]

notice the word "based" it means something similar or believed to be true acctually happened doesnt mean the whole movie is true im just say cause that was crammed in my head wen i was little

[satanic_psycho]

yea true but nevermind i was paranoid yesterday sry

[GorePhobia]

Exorcism of Emily Rose is actually based on a German girl named Anneliese Michel who was believed to be under demonic possession

check the link out here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anneliese_Michel

[lbuie]

Everyone needs to read this link that was sent up above it's veryinteresting and will help understand this story. one thing that confuses me is that they try to make it seem like the original exoricist is based on this girl to, but it's not it's based on a boy who spent the night with a priest at least that's what the directors of the exorcist said.;) ;)

What do you mean? Different true story?:confused:

[GorePhobia]

LMFAO!


Sooooo true.

[hollywoodgothiq]

Wow, lots of interest about this film, and lots of points raised in earlier posts. My head is swimming but let me try to answer a few things....

THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE is a very good horror movie, but it is not "based" on a true story, despite a credit to that effect. The screenwriters got the idea for a "courtroom horror movie" from the case of Anneliese Michel, but they admit they fictionzlied their story, creating characters and adding stuff they heard about other cases of possession.

THE EXORCIST is not based on a true story. William Peter Blatty told me that he read about the case of the possessed boy and thought of doing a non-fiction book "But I never wrote a word." Years later, when his career as a comic screenwriter was drying up, he decided to go back to that idea and create a novel, to prove that he could do serious dramatic work. He never pretended to be telling a true story, just that he got the idea from something he read in the newspapers (and subsequently researched).

As to why THE EXORCIST seems funny to younger viewers, I can only say that only one scene ever amused me: when the doctor gives an injection to the unwilling Regan and she spits in his eye, yelling, "You fuckin' bastard!" Maybe the urinating on the floore scene too, but that is a nervous kind of laughter -- the kind you make when you're embarassed (kind of like the characters are embarrased in the film). I think there's now a tendancy not to sit through the movie as a movie but as an endurance test or a rite of passage ("every body says it's scary, but it sure as hell didn't scare me because I'm so damn cool!").

As for the complaints about the PG-13 rating given to EMILY ROSE, I wish horror fans would worry more about how scary the film is rather than how gorey it is. Yeah it's a bummer when good stuff gets cut to earn a more marketable rating, but EMILY ROSE is not about projectile vomit, spining heads, or crucifix masburation. It's about a terrible, agonzing, miserable fate visited on a helpless young woman and about how the efforts to save her failed, and it's about trying to make some sense of the tragedy. That's more than enough to make it effective.

By the way, it is not giving the ending away to say that Emily died. The film shows us this in the very first sequence. The movie is actually structured as a courtroom drama, with the events unfolding in flashback, which gives the filmmakers leeway to present both sides of the story and leave it up to the audience to decide.

Thank you! I got all this from the trailer. And I haven't even seen the movie yet.

[phantomstranger]

First thing I want to say is I liked this movie, but I have to tell you right off the top, this is NOT a horror movie. Yes it does have some creepy moments,but for the most part this is a legal courtroom thriller with supernatural overtones. If you go to this film expecting gallons of gore or some major crap in your pants scares, you will be dissappointed. But if you go in looking for a well acted, well put together film I think you will like it. It treats the subject in a (in my opinion) very realistic manner: was the girl really possessed or was she just off her meds? You see both sides to the argument. I don't know how really "True" this film was, but it makes you think. Go see it.

[hollywoodgothiq]

Well, I don't think it's fair to say that this (or any) film is "not a horror movie"just because it doesn't contain gallons of gore. We might say it's not a "gore" film or not a "cult" film. But a horror film it most definitely is.

[Prelude95Si]

I think the reason people on this forum like horror movies is because of the gore and blood. Thats why most of us are upset that the majority of the horror movies coming out lately are PG-13. You see the average movie goer goes to a horror movie to be scared. But the horror movie FAN is desensitised to elements ment scare people so therefore they go to a horror movie for the gore and blood. So by a horror FAN's definition a horror movie that is not atleast rated R is not a true horror movie.

[BillyNedar]

Just saw the film. Liked it. But it didn't scare me.

My ex-mother-in-law was scarier. But she was genuinely possessed by the devil.

[Terrin_the_Vamp]

I saw this and it was pretty good. Some parts were very creepy but it wasnt really scary. I do wish it had an R rating just so I wouldnt of had to be surrounded by a bunch of 13 year-olds who screamed for no reason.
