| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Best film on the differing views of the demonic |
| OK, this movie isn't a masterpiece. That being said:
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is the best movie I've seen about the differing world views about the demonic. By setting the story in a courtroom, the directors are able to give equal weight to the traditional church view of the demonic and also the scientific world view. If you watch horror film to scare yourself, this may not be the one. There are some fairly scary scenes but that's doesn't seem to be the point. The movie accepts that demon-possession is reality for some people -- but that there are at least two radically different ways to look at this reality. I've never seen a better film (or book, for that matter) which shows how well-meaning people can experience the same phenomenon yet interpret it completely differently. I deducted a star (or maybe two) because some of the acting struck me as a little flat and there were a couple of other flaws in the film making. Not bad, but this isn't a five star movie. Worth watching? Certainly yes. |
