Just thought you people might like to know, don't know why.
I just saw the preview, and I thought I had heard this before, so I looked through my collection of books, and I found a few pages on it. So here's a picture of the real Anneliese Michel if you're interested : http://www.mdr.de/IT/52063-high.jpg
I didn't directly scan it or anything, but that's how she looks in the book. Not anything like the movie girl, I'm not the least bit surprised.

"Based" on a true story keyword being "based" They will take the story exagerate many things and make some up for movie. Trailer looks good but cant be that scary it only got a PG-13 rating some Saturday morning carttons are more graphic!

The movie does look scary however it is "based" on a true story which you can read about on the web site. If you closely read though you'll find out the priest who was arrested in the incident was arrested for letting the girl die in his possession. That was the only possession in the in real story. She was epileptic and the priest refused to give her her medicine for seizures and then she starved to death. She was propbably schitzophrenic too which would explain the hallucinations she had. I would however like to hear if they did actually tape the voices she had coming out of her mouth during the rituals of the common excorcism.

Emily Rose's real name was Anneliese Michel. After getting sick and going to the hospital strange things began to happen. Most of which is in the new upcoming movie. Anneliese eventually dies from self inflicted wounds and the parents and exorcist folks were brought on manslaughter charges. A lesser sentence was given of 6 months each. The only problem is science nor faith were able to save this young girl who saw demons. Murf

Hello. I just got back a little while ago from the drive-in. I went and saw this movie. I was really impressed. The plot is kind of different from other horror movies, but I really loved it. I really liked the way her story was told and how they got the idea across about demons and other paranormal things to people who dont believe. (You'll see what I mean if you watch the film.) And how everyone who experiences stuff like this isnt insane. I dont want to say much in fear of giving too much away. Really though, grab some cash and go see this movie as soon as you can. Its amazing. Or so I thought.

Fav line:

"Demons exist, whether we believe in them or not."

Saw it last night. It was very good. Better than I expected. It was scary, but very sad as well.

Hi. I saw this movie last night. I really liked it. It was less a horror movie than a courtroom drama that really makes you think.

Also, the woman upon whom this was based was born in 1952 and started having her symptoms in 1968, when she was 16 years old. She had been medically treated for epilepsy for four years (unsuccessfully) when an exorcism was suggested (from what I've read). It seems to me that if this poor woman had been born 20 or 30 years later, if she was not possessed, a far more accurate diagnosis could have been made and she may have been able to have been cured, or at least greatly helped. At this point, who knows what really occurred other than she suffered terribly. The movie also demonstrated her suffering. You knew she was going through hell. It WAS sad.

Hey I am going to see the movie today, and i was wondering if people thought it was scary, or if it was even good.

Once i get some feedback, feel free to move or close this thread.

I haven't seen it as of yet because we always get movies much later than the rest of the world. But I've seen the trailer and some other scenes and it seems like the kind of movie I really really like. The trailer scared the crap out of me. And by the way, there's another thread about it here.

I'm very curious about exorcisms, and i really wanted to go see this movie, but as always for the 3rd consecutive Summer my car broke down and was stuck in the car shop for almost 3 months... will have to wait for DVD...

[amybutts]

My husband and I saw it. It is not a horror movie, and if that is what you are looking for, you may be disappointed. It was very good and the director wants you to think about whether she was really possessed or just very mentally ill. They don't give you that answer, they want you to figure it out for yourself.

You can look up the real Anneliese Michel on the web. People still flock to her gravesite in Germany from around the world and consider her a saint. One of the priests that performed the exorcisms (I say plural because the poor girl went through 10 months worth of them) is still to this day in seclusion.

I saw the exorcism of emily rose it was pretty scary..1, 2, 3, 4, 5, sssssix! Anyway i think it was a pretty good movie the director did it well, it reely got me thinking, was she really possessed or just had a severe case of skitzophrenia and because of her beliefs in god n stuff just believed she was demonically possessed because if i can remember correctly the lawyer says "sick people dont know they are sick" she was only believed she was possessed but medical people said she was mentally ill. After i saw the movie i read up on anneliese michel and i think i just want to believe she was demonically possessed but after reading the stuff she suffered i think she was just mentally sick but i dont know ITS MESSING WITH MY HEAD!
