The Exorcism Of Emily Rose - Supernatural courtroom 

And by `supernatural courtroom' I don't mean The Exorcism of Emily Rose is like that scene in Ghostbusters II when the two spooks go crazy and have to be zapped before the slime the judge and attorney.

It's apparently `based on a true story,' but then aren't most Hollywood films supposed to be? The `real' exorcism involved two priests and, although similar, was heavily adapted for the film version.

We meet the teenager, Emily Rose, at the beginning of the film. She's just died during an exorcism that went wrong. The rest of the film is basically a courtroom drama where the prosecution tries to prove that an exorcism isn't a real science and got in the way of proper medication for the patient. Then you have the flashbacks which showed what really happened during the exorcism.

Of course if the film made it look like demons weren't really terrorising the young girl, it would make a dull movie. So, we have to believe that the possession was really happened. However, based on what other people have said about the film, some people see this as Christian propaganda, designed to `prove' the existence of God and the afterlife etc.

I didn't see it so. I saw it as a kind of modern day take on The Exorcist. Think of it as a horror/thriller, rather something that allegedly happened. If you view it as entertainment as opposed to a recounting of an actual event, then you should enjoy it, as the possession scenes are decently scary enough and the cast all play their parts well. 

8/10 The Force is definitely strong with this one
