The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
I liked it the first time I saw it.........
You know, when they simply called it EXORCIST. I had been waiting for this movie to hit video for quite some time, and when it did....WOW!!!! I'm exactly 36 minutes into this film, and let me emphasize......... WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!!! This movie has absolutely no flow, no characters to even slightly care about, zero suspense and those are the highlights, people. Oh the creators tried to lead their audience down a path full of suspense and intrigue...blah blah blah. But, they failed miserably.
We Were lulled into a state of mind like,"Oh, I hope that Laura Linney's character can solve the mystery of the inconsistent timepiece." This movie successfully merged all the plagiarism of the true Exorcist film with the campiness of a Scooby Doo mystery.
And before the nay-saying sheep pan me for not giving the film a chance(due to an apparent infatuation with a true original), choosing to enjoy this film because Hollywood forced it down their throats, lemme say this.....I don't even particularly worship the Excorcist movie other than to recognize it as a classic.
Simply put, do not waste your time with this dog, lest you come back to hear me say...I TOLD YOU SO!!!! Only Laura Linney herself saves this from being a 1 out of 10.
Excuse me, the movie has just hit the 55 minute mark and I have to put it back in the case before I begin to feel dumber than I did before it started.
