Ok, I saw this trailer today and it was seriously spooky. A friend sent me the link and said to beware, and he was right. I love creepy movies though and this one fits the bill - anyone else seen the trailer?

Link us..sounds interesting.

Well-done trailer IMO. Creepy huh!

Hmmmm....Nice ^_^

Thanks for the link

Looks pretty good...compared to another exorcist movie that recently came out.

Ya,trailer looked cool

looks like an updated excorsist. that isnt necessarily a bad thing though.

Cool that it's based on a true story too. Well, cool AND a bit terrifying. I wonder who it's really based on?

I found this on upcominghorrormovies.com:

11/05/04
Star Laura Linney spoke with SciFi Wire about the film, saying: "The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel is based on a trial that happened in Bavaria in the late '70s. It will not take place in Bavaria, nor will it take place in the late '70s, but it's about a woman who went through a series of exorcisms and then died a young girl of 22."

Also looked at some other websites but am not allowed to post the links here thanks to the rules governing newbies.
"You're on this Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master"

Here's what looks like a very detailed (albeit unverified) history of the real "Emily Rose":

It all began about 1968, when Anneliese (a very religious nurtured girl, who was born on the 21st of September 1952) has an insult. Paralysed and shaking she can’t call her 3 sisters, or her parents (Josef and Anna) for help. A Neurologist at the Psychiatric Clinic Würzburg diagnosed Epilepsy Type “Grand Mal”. Depressions, often occurring after those Epilepsy Attacks, have not been recognized.

After a long stay at the Hospital, she begins to see devilish grimaces during her daily praying. In the fall of 1970 Anneliese returned to school, and while other girls live the freedom of the 70s, she starts believing to be possessed. She can’t find another reason for the grimaces. Now also voices are following her, saying that Anneliese will “stew in hell”. The Depressions get stronger and stronger and Anneliese doesn’t see any reason for the meetings at the Doctors, because they don’t bring a relief. Just once, does she tell a Doctor about the “Demons”, which even give orders to her now. But the gap between known Medicine and Catholic Ideology is too big, to get her problems considered.

In the summer of 1973 her parents ask different Pastors for an Exorcism. The Catholic Chaplains reject and recommend, to continue the medication on the now 20 year old Anneliese. The proof for a possession (Infestatio) is strictly structured, and before not all criterions are fulfilled, the Bishop can’t approve an Exorcism. Aversions against religious objects, speaking in languages the person never learned and supernatural powers, are just some of them.

Pastor Ernst Alt, supervising Anneliese at that time, asked the Bishop of Würzburg for the Permit to perform an Exorcism on Anneliese Michel in 1974. His request was also rejected, so he recommends Anneliese an even more religious Lifestyle. But the attacks don’t disappear. At her parents house in Klingenberg, she insults, beats, bites the family members. She doesn’t eat, because the demons don’t allow her to. Anneliese sleeps at the stone floor, eats Spiders, Flies and Coal. She even drinks her own Urine. For hours, she yells thru the house. Anneliese breaks Crucifixes, destroys paintings of Jesus and demolishes Rosaries. Running thru the house, tearing the clothes from her body and urinating on the floor is nothing unusual anymore. She even commits self-mutilation.

In September 1975, after an exact Verification, the Bishop of Würzburg, Josef Stangl, assigns Father Arnold Renz and Pastor Ernst Alt with the order, to perform “The Great Exorcism” on Anneliese Michel. The basis for this ritual is the “Rituale Romanum”, a still valid Canon Law from the 17th century. Pastor Alt and Father Renz try to save Anneliese from, in the meantime over 6 individuals (Lucifer, Judas Iscariot, Nero, Cain, Hitler and Fleischmann, a disgraced Frankish Priest from the 16th century, and some other “Damned”), which manifested thru her. From September ’75 till July ’76, 1 to 2 sessions a week were held. Sometimes her attacks were so strong, that she had to be hold down by 3 men, or they had to chain her up. Between those sessions in her parent’s house, Anneliese has some time without any attacks, in which she goes to school, makes her final examinations at the Pedagogic Academy in Würzburg and goes to church. Just like she used to live before.

But the attacks didn’t stop. The young woman gets unconscious and paralyzed more often. The Exorcism continues over weeks and months. Always praying the same specified prayers and incantations, over and over again. Sometimes the parents are present, or her sisters. Even a married couple, that claims of having “discovered” Anneliese. Over several weeks, she denies every food. Her knees are burst, because of the 600 Genuflections she does obsessive during the Exorcisms. During the Exorcism there were over 40 audio tapes recorded, to log the possession.
The last day of the Exorcism Rite is the 30th of June 1976. Anneliese is now also suffering from a Pneumonia, totally emaciated and having high temperature. But she can’t waive doing the Genuflections. Her parents even help her doing them. “Beg for Absolution.”, is the last sentence Anneliese says to the Exorcists. To her mother she says: “Mother, I’m afraid.”. Anna Michel recorded the death of her daughter on the next day, the 1st of July 1976. At Noon, Pastor Ernst Alt informs the prosecuting authorities in Aschaffenburg. The Senior Prosecutor began investigating.

Short time before these events, William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist” came to the cinemas in Germany (1974), and started a paranormal Hysteria all over the land. Psychiatrist all over Europe, reported of an increase of obsessive ideas at their patients. For the Prosecutors, the factual situation is more than bizarre. And it took almost 2 years, until the “Klingenberg Case” was brought to court. Anneliese’s parents and the 2 Exorcists were accused of negligent homicide. There were only 2 questions to answer. What caused the death of Anneliese Michel, and who was responsible ?

The cause of death, as diagnosed by the Forensics: “Anneliese starved to death” ! If the Accused would have begun with forced feed, one week before her dead, Anneliese’s live could have been saved. Her sister told in front of the court, that Anneliese didn’t want to go to a Mental House, sedated and forced to eat. The Exorcists tried to prove the presence of the demons, by playing the tapes they recorded. There were such strange dialogues, like 2 of the demons arguing , who of them has to leave Anneliese’s body first. The demon, that called himself Hitler, talked with Frankish Accent (Hitler was born Austrian). None of those present during the Exorcisms, never had a doubt, that this weren’t demons.
The Psychiatrists, which have been ordered by the court, talked about “Doctrinaire Induction”. Saying, that the Priests have offered Anneliese the contents of her psychotic behaviour. Consequentially she later accepted the behaviour of a, from a demon possessed person. Also an unsettled sexual development, along with the diagnosed Temporal Lobe Epilepsy influenced Anneliese’s Psychosis.

The judgement was, although the parents and the chaplains were adjudged guilty, not as hard as expected. All of the accused were sentenced to 6 months jail on probation, because of manslaughter resulting from negligence and omitted First Aid. The accused should have helped by taking care of the medical treatment the girl needed. But instead of doing so they aggravated the bad constitution, by using naïve Practices.

A Commission of the German Bishop-Conference later declared, that Anneliese Michel was not possessed. Anneliese’s body didn’t even find peace after the girl’s death. Because of some believe in miracles, it was said that her body doesn’t decay, her corpse gets exhumed 11/2 year after the burial. With the final result, that the body decays, as every other dead body. Till now her grave is a place of pilgrimage, for Rosary-praying pilgrims, who still think, that Anneliese Michel has defeated the Devil.

In 1999 Cardinal Medina Estévez presented Journalists, in Vatican-City, the new Version of the “Rituale Romanum” that was used by the Catholic Church since 1614. He presented them "De exorcismis et supplicationibus quibusdam" better know as “The Exorcism for the upcoming Millennium”. After more then 10 years of editing, the Pope approbated the new Exorcism Rite, which is now allowed for worldwide usage. The change was initiated by the death of Anneliese Michel. The German Bishop-Conference demanded to ultimately abolish the “Rituale Romanum”. The Vatican answered in his own way, with a new form of Exorcism. More then 20 years after Anneliese Michel died.

I had just found that too after looking around on google. Really interesting. It'll be cool to see how they portray the Church's side of this, and how the medical side is portrayed. What a continual debate you know?

I'm so looking forward to this movie. The trailer totally gave me the creeps and i'm actually really curious to see how they're going to weave in the story of the exorcism with the trial.

looks cool has a guy from batman begins

sorry - my post got screwed up and it was weird....really weird

Anyway, I read an interview with the director on comingsoon - talks about how he views the film visa vie other horror films and classics like The Exorcist - cool read - I def recommend

i hope its not to like the excorsits i hate that movie i cant even spelle it right

well in that interview I read, and here's the link:
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10342

he seems to describe that it will be approaching the whole exorcism issue from a new angle.

I saw the trailer again last weekend and it is still intriguing me after seeing a few times.

I saw this movie last night around midnight and this movie is scary and creepy. Its a cross between The Exorcist and The Practice(tv show), the aspects of the trial were handled brilliantly i think. Me personally as a person that likes to question and find the scientific answer for everything like this movie because while it does explain that what happens to emily from the religion point of view(defense) also explains from the scientific/medical point of view(prosecutor). This is one of the very few good scary movies ive seen in a while and being based on a true story makes it even scarier knowing it did happened before in real life, the people in the movie theather were quiet as hell which is a good sign they were scared. I was left somewhat scared after the movie because 3:00am has a significance through the movie which is explained and the mvoie finished around 2:30am and i had to bring my girl home across town and it was gonna be 3:00 am already, needles to say i rush home as quickly as i could. good movie, Ill give it 3/4 stars.

Woah chill out. First off, im sure its not that scary. Second off, "Based on a true story" means "Extremely Exaggerated(sp?)" I wonder how much was true. Because i doubt most of its true. I dont think its looks that good anyway. My dad thinks its looks great. But i dont.

What the **** over 10,000 views of this thread

Plain and simple, it was a damn good movie.

God I love being right.. Wasnt even scary. I jumped once and that was because the fecking door slammed really loud when she went to see what was wrong outside her dorm..The rest was *yawn*

You wouldnt want my honest opinion on that no2



The movie gets a 6.5/10 from me...too much 'Trialing' and less of Emily. Plus they basically jumbled all it up to where you saw Emily for a while, then the rest was the Trial..which was boring as hell. 6.5 is all it gets.

ive already seen that movie its really horrying WATCH IT!!!!!! IF U DARE!!!

exorcism of emily rose is not scary by any means. But its not a bad movie, better than most of the horror movies that are coming out these days.

It wasn't scary the movie wasn't, but the fact that it happened, I mean I know it all didn't but think about the 6 demons in her I'm pretty sure was true. That would be so horrible. I wasn't scared I just felt sorry for her and what she went through.

I had to go and see this last night, it was poor, but did have a few scares. But also a few unintentional laughs, like when she was lying on the floor having a fit

I missed the first 5 minutes what did I miss?, im sure i miised the exorcism.

The frightening thing is that it's based on a true story, I'm definitely gonna goe see that movie if it's a 15.....

yeah i agree, i dont think ill be seeing it tho im wasnt a huge fan of the exorsist i couldnt watch it after she mastubated with the cross...

I'd hate to think what would happen in this movie, masturbate with a cross that has Jesus on it......no

Nothing really happened the first 5 minutes...Just showing a doctor I think stare into Emily's family's house, and then he goes to look at Emily after the priest is there.

My brother thought this movie was more realistic than the original Exorcist, but I dunno...Just cause she dies?

Big deal, I bet Jesus like the masturbation..lol! JK JK, don't shoot me!

Not very funny.

Cheers Lizzy

The Exorcism of Emily Rose has its moments. I couldn't help but laugh at most of them, lol. Its a pretty good movie, but I personally would stick with The Exorcist.

hahahahahahahahaha


spam_laser

i havent actuallly watched this yet and it looks realy good..... so mayb this week end ill take a trip to the movies

Its a good movie, it has its moments, but its not the best movie, so don't get your hopes up.

shit i really wanna see this film, my mum saw the advert on the tv last night seh dosent want me to go and see it

^ id tell my mum where to get off .... that i'd be watching it and not her ...... but thats me

im planning to go and see it anyway, my mum totally freaked when she came into my bedroom and caught me watching nightmare on elm street (one of the first horror films i go addicted to)

my parents don't care.....you should tell her your going to see a movie around the same time there is a showing of ...Emily Rose, and then go see ....Emily Rose.

This film has just come out in the UK, i have hardly any money, should i spend my precious £6 on a ticket to this movie, or give it a miss?

This movie was great, my only complaint was that it spent a little too much time in the courtroom. I would have been satisfied seeing just one more possession sequence in the movie.

Yes, I agree, there should have been more possession, than the courtroom. ChickinMeat, if that amount of money is all you have, and you have things that you could buy more worthwhile, wait for the movie to come out on DVD. It was a good movie, but it wasn't the best.

I agree , dont waste your money on this.

the original exocist was a bit sick but cool but disgusting

a bit sick but cool but disgusting? Don't listen to thomasgeorge, he doesnt know a good horror movie if it was right in his face.

The exorcist is a good movie, and I deffinetly prefer more than the exorcism of emily rose.

I just recently watch this movie. IT SUCKED SO BAD. DAMN, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. HORRIBLE F@@KING MOVIE.

DO NOT WATCH THIS PIECE OF S##T MOVIE!!


Nuff said.

No, I'm not kidding you. THAT MOVIE SSSSUUUUUUCCCCCKKKEDDD!!

End Of Story!!

"The Eorcism of Emily Rose" was a fantastic movie, IMO. It wasn't a horror, and was promoted horribly wrong. It was an odd combination of a court drama and a genuinely stirring suspense thriller. It's what would have made a movie like "The Exorcist" a multiple award winner, because most importantly, "Exorcism" was plausible. Totally, totally credible, and not over the top. The ending was a little convenient in the way of the priest's verdict, but nonetheless, it made you think, and I revelled in the first SMART horror/thriller in years.

THE MOVIE SUCKED, END OF STORY!

I agree. The term 'fantastic' might be a little over the top, but none the less, it was good.

I liked the Exorcism of Emily Rose, but it wasn't the greatest movie. I don't think it'll ever beat The Exorcist. The Exorcist will stay at the top of my list for possesion movies.

Without a doubt. The Exorcist is #1...

"The Exorcist" is overrated schlock. It didn't even pick up until half way through the film, and even then, it relied on some "oh my goodness! she said that!" verbal shock and awe tactics that were disturbing for 1974, but are laughable now.

You want a solid film about possession, that's as credible as "Emily Rose", try "Rosemary's Baby". I dunno how claiming "Exorcism" being "fantastic" is going over the top, as to say it was a great movie in my opinion. Never said it was flawless or perfect, so I think what I said was fair.

Jayy, just because YOU didn't like it, doesn't mean it sucks. You really have no arguement outside of that.

Moreover, the filmmakers argue that these courtroom scenes show a balanced argument, but the structure of the film sabotages this. It is told from the point of view of the defense, so supernatural happenings are presented as concrete events.

Yeah, the movie is pretty slow at the beginning, I really did want to see more possession of Emily. But, I did feel that they did order and fit in the court scenes and possession scenes well.

I agree

My favourite posession film is Amityville 2. The exorcist was boring & i didn't really like Emily Rose.
