The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a tough movie to pass judgment on. It’s got a lot of problems, yet it’s still entertaining. There may not be a lot of well-rounded character development, but the actors are all good in their roles. It’s not a scary horror movie, but it can be quite intense and suspenseful.

Some films are so vapidly lumbering in the shadow of other, greater films that they don’t even bother to tweak their titles in the futile attempt to disengage themselves, as is the case with The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
