Popular Movie - The Exorcism of Emily Rose

I have not seen the movie, but I have heard several students talking about a new exorcism/horror flick that has just come out. Here is a small out take from the article. You can click on the movie title below or on the post title above to read the entire article. The article does include reviews from other sources.

Christianity Today movie review says: The Exorcism of Emily Rose is rated PG-13 for thematic material, including intense/frightening sequences and disturbing images. The possession scenes include images of deformed human faces, dilated pupils, epileptic seizures, bleeding hands, and similar phenomena. There are also a few four-letter words.

"The movie is loosely based on the true story of Anneliese Michel, a German student who believed she was possessed by demons, and whose death during an attempted exorcism in the 1970s led to a court case in which two priests were convicted of negligent manslaughter. So the film—which changes numerous details, including the young woman's name—is essentially a courtroom drama in which lawyers and witnesses argue over what really happened to her."
