The Exorcism of Emily Rose

I thought The Exorcism of Emily Rose was a decent movie.

Of course, I did watch it under ‘favorable’ conditions: late at night (in fact, inching toward 3 a.m.) after having had a few drinks. So, I admit, my opinion might be a bit skewed.

Still, I think the reviews at Rotten Tomatoes were a little harsh.

I mean, horror flicks aren’t meant to be profound works of art — they’re meant to scare. And this one works, in that sense. It’s not The Exorcist, but it wasn’t terrible.

I wouldn’t mind seeing it again. (Though I might not make any special effort to make that happen.)

If I were to rate this, I’d give it 2.5 or 3 stars (out of 5).
