This was loosely based on a true story. Anybody interested in seeing it? The true story of what happened was very chilling.

I don't like those kind of movies. They scare the heck out of me. I did see some footage of the real person. She had a sad life.

Its got mine and my husband's interest. I hated the first "Exorcist". I had read the book (which scared the bejeepers out of me) before the movie and found the special effects in the movie "hokey".

This one looks really interesting though and with the new technology, the F/X should be pretty cool.

I have to turn the tv off when I see the previews for this. It creeps me out. Part of me is kind of interested in seeing it but I don't think I'll ever muster up the courage to see it.

Same here. I can't even watch the previews. I quickly change the channel. I'm not even interested in seeing it. Still to this day, watching the Exorcist scares me, so I know I won't be able to sit through this movie.

FYI: Jennifer Carpenter, who plays EmilyRose, was also in White Chicks.

I spoke to a friend who saw a special preview of the movie and he said he won't be going to sleep anytime soon. This will be best to see if you don't have to work or anything the next morning though, because it will keep you awake.

However, on the plus side, he said he feels this movie will rescue horror from the rut of remakes and vehicles of teen idols and bring it back to it's foundation after the face of horror movies changed once Scream came out in 96. He thinks (he's 34, so he was a baby during Exorcist and grew up on Jason, Freddie, Michael Myers and all the slashers) that people have lost a lot of their shock after 9-11 and also the incessent gore and trivialization of death in movies, but this film will grab everyone and disturb them.

Awww I thought this was going to be interesting. Not scare the **** out of me like The Excorcist.

CliffClavin · 09-09-2005, 12:41 PM

It's like half horror & half court room movie.

ckohone · 09-09-2005, 03:07 PM

I'm not sure if i'll go see it but i read about the real girl that this happened to and its pretty spooky.

that's why I have no plans to see it, because it's a true story and you know there's nothing even resembling a happy ending. No Emily getting saved so she can appear in awful sequels and parodies with Leslie Nielson, lol.

CliffClavin · 09-09-2005, 03:52 PM

Exorcist 3 was pretty good.
Repossed with Lelie Nielson was good also.

TripperFan · 09-09-2005, 05:07 PM

The article says she died during the exorcism. Doesn't that make Satan "the winner"?

It also says that officially, the Catholic church denounced it, yet in the ads for the movie, they say that the church recognized it as a true possession.

?????

I remember when i was in second grade they showed the exorcist on the late night movies. My dad came home and turned it on, what he didn't know is I was hiding behind the lazy boy. I was watching it, and as soon as her head started to spin, I flew out from behind the chair, my dad flew out of the chair and did a face plant in the floor. He started screaming, woke everyone up. Needless to say I got in trouble

F****N Linda Blair!
