 
A
preacher named Father Moore (Tom
Wilkinson) is about to be sent to prison
of a murder he claimed he never committed
to a young college student named Emily
Rose (Jennifer Carpenter) as he claimed
that she was possessed by a demon.
He seeks help from an attorney named Erin
Bruner (Laura Linney) to prove his
innocence. She tries to find evidence as
she too witnesses some strange events
surrounding her as both her and Moore
wake up at 3 in the morning as it the the
demonic witching hour plus strange events
start to happen.
Bruner, Moore and Emily's witnesses claim
her strange behavior's as she was once a
happy person who had faith in God and was
enrolled in college but then she starts
seeing strange events that only she could
see. Plus she starts eating insects,
throwing herself around, speaking foreign
language as well as clawing her wall.
The people at court just claim that Emily
was having seizures and is mentally ill.
Erin is forced to stop the court case or
her job is jeapardised by Moore convinces
her to carry on with it to find out about
Emily's death.
Although I wasn't
a huge fan of this film it was still well
done and based on a true story.
I jumped out of my seat a few times
whenever Emily was possessed with the
intensity on her behavior.
It had nice scenery for a scary movie too
which many of you will agree with me.
The acting was
great as I enjoyed Laura Linney's
performance very much.
I especially enjoyed Jennifer
Carpenter's performance when she
behaved possessively as Emily Rose. I
think that she can outdo Linda Blair.
Scott
Derrickson is real with his work in
the film as his work with Jennifer
Carpenter was fantastic with her
running around and acting crazy as well
as her possessive talking and facial
expressions.
Also, he was terrific with Laura
Linney and Tom Wilkinson's
scenes together.
I loved his direction with supporting
actor Julian Christopher as the
attorney who tried to make Father Moore
guilty.
