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 I've heard that a few times now -- mainly from a younger audience watching it for the first time...may be outdated to them, I dunno.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.

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.

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

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.

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

Umm...Yeah...The Exorcist was "based on a true story" too...

yea true but nevermind i was paranoid yesterday sry
