The Exorcism Of Emily Rose

IMDb
A lawyer takes on a negligent homicide case involving a priest who performed an exorcism on a young girl.



Rotten Tomatoes

MOVIE INFO

In an extremely rare decision, the Catholic Church officially recognized the demonic possession of a 19-year-old college freshman. A lawyer takes on a negligent homicide case involving a priest who performed the exorcism that resulted in the girl's death.

RogerEbert

"Demons exist whether you believe in them or not," says the priest at the center of "The Exorcism of Emily Rose." Yes, and you could also say that demons do not exist whether you believe in them or not, because belief by definition stands outside of proof. If you can prove it, you don't need to believe it.

Such truths are at the center of this intriguing and perplexing movie, which is based on the true story of a priest who was accused of murder after a teenage girl died during an exorcism. If the priest is correct and the girl was possessed by a demon, he is innocent. If the authorities called by the prosecution are correct, she died of psychotic epileptic disorder, and the priest created complications leading to her death. If, on the other hand, exorcism theory is correct, drugs given to the girl to treat her "disorder" made her immune to exorcism and led to her death.

The movie is told through flashbacks from a courtroom, where Father Moore (Tom Wilkinson) is on trial. He has been offered a deal (plead guilty to reckless endangerment and do six years of a 12-year sentence), but he refuses it: "I don't care about my reputation and I'm not afraid of jail. All I care about is telling Emily Rose's story." His lawyer Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) despairs, and yet admires him for his conviction. She herself does not believe in demons. The prosecutor, Ethan Thomas (Campbell Scott) is a churchgoer and does presumably believe, but lawyers sometimes argue against what they believe to be true. That's their job.

And who is Emily Rose? As played by Jennifer Carpenter in a grueling performance, she is a college student who sees the faces of friends and strangers turn into demonic snarls. Her nightmares are haunting. She speaks in foreign languages. She loses an alarming amount of weight. She calls home for help, in tears. Her boyfriend can't reach her. The parish priest, Father Moore, is called in, and determines that an exorcism is indicated.

He has authorization from the archdiocese, but after he is charged with murder the church authorities order him to accept plea bargaining and create as little scandal for the church as possible. The church is curiously ambivalent about exorcism. It believes that the devil and his agents can be active in the world, it has a rite of exorcism, and it has exorcists. On the other hand, it is reluctant to certify possessions and authorize exorcisms, and it avoids publicity on the issue. It's like those supporters of Intelligent Design who privately believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis, but publicly distance themselves from it because that would undermine their plausibility in the wider world.

What is fascinating about "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" is that it asks a secular institution, the court, to decide a question that hinges on matters the court cannot have an opinion on. Either Emily was possessed by a demon and Father Moore did his best to save her, or she had a psychotic condition and he unwittingly did his best to kill her. The defense and the prosecution mount strong arguments and call persuasive witnesses, but in the end it all comes down to the personal beliefs of the jury. A juror who does not believe in demons must find the priest guilty, if perhaps sincere. A juror who does believe in demons must decide if Emily Rose was possessed, or misdiagnosed. In a case like this, during the jury selection, are you qualified or disqualified by believing one way or the other?

The movie takes place in a small town surrounded by a Grant Wood landscape; houses and remote farms crouch in winter fields under a harsh sky. The key relationship is between the priest and his defense attorney. Erin Bruner does not believe in devils, but she believes in Father Moore, and she believes he believes in them. "There are dark forces surrounding this trial," he warns her, suggesting that she herself might be a target of demons. In this and other scenes the movie is studiously neutral on the subject of the priest: He would look, speak and behave exactly the same if he were sane and sincere, or deluded and sincere.

Erin works for a powerful law firm retained by the archdiocese. She wants to be named a partner, but she won't be if she agrees with Father Moore's wish to appear on the witness stand; the archdiocese wants to make a deal leading to a quick settlement, with no testimony from the priest, and the archdiocese, not the priest, is the client who is paying. Which way does Erin turn? The film is fascinating in the way it makes legal and ethical issues seem as suspenseful as possession and exorcism.

The movie was directed by Scott Derrickson and written by Paul Harris Boardman and Derrickson. The screenplay is intelligent and open to occasional refreshing wit, as when prosecutor Ethan Thomas makes an objection to one witnesses' speculations about demonology. "On what grounds?" asks the judge (Mary Beth Hurt). "Oh...silliness," he says.

Somehow the movie really never takes off into the riveting fascination we expect in the opening scenes. Maybe it cannot; maybe it is too faithful to the issues it raises to exploit them. A movie like "The Exorcist" is a better film because it's a more limited one, which accepts demons and exorcists lock, stock and barrel, as its starting point. Certainly they're good showbiz. A film that keeps an open mind must necessarily lack a slam-dunk conclusion. In the end Emily Rose's story does get told, although no one can agree about what it means. You didn't ask, but in my opinion she had psychotic epileptic disorder, but it could have been successfully treated by the psychosomatic effect of exorcism if those drugs hadn't blocked the process.

The Rite

IMDb
An American seminary student travels to Italy to take an exorcism course


Rotten Tomatoes

MOVIE INFO

"The battle against the Devil, which is the principal task of Saint Michael the Archangel, is still being fought today, because the Devil is still alive and active in the world." -Pope John Paul II "The Rite" is a supernatural thriller that uncovers the Devil's reach to even one of the holiest places on Earth. Inspired by true events, the film follows seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue), who is sent to study exorcism at the Vatican in spite of his own doubts about the controversial practice and even his own faith. Wearing his deep skepticism like armor, Michael challenges his superiors to look to psychiatry, rather than demons, in treating the possessed. Only when he's sent to apprentice with the unorthodox Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins)--a legendary priest who has performed thousands of exorcisms--does Michael's armor begin to fall. As he is drawn into a troubling case that seems to transcend even Father Lucas's skill, he begins to glimpse a phenomenon science can't explain or control...and an evil so violent and terrifying that it forces him to question everything he believes. Directed by Mikael Håfström ("1408"), "The Rite" stars Oscar (R) winner Anthony Hopkins ("Silence of the Lambs"), Colin O'Donoghue in his feature film debut, Alice Braga ("Predators"), Toby Jones ("Frost/Nixon"), with Ciarán Hinds ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2"), and Rutger Hauer ("Batman Begins," "Blade Runner"). Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson ("The Exorcism of Emily Rose") produced the film under their Contrafilm banner. The screenplay is by Michael Petroni ("The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader"), suggested by the book by Matt Baglio. Richard Brener, Merideth Finn and Robert Bernacchi serve as executive producers, with Mark Tuohy co-producing. New Line Cinema presents, a Contrafilm production, a Mikael Håfström film, "The Rite." The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. This film has been rated PG-13 for disturbing thematic material, violence, frightening images and language including sexual references. -- (C) Warner Bros.

RogerEbert

"The Rite" takes exorcism more seriously than I expected it to. It begins with the supposition that Satan is “alive and active in the world” and assumes that satanic possession takes place and that the rite of exorcism works. Otherwise, we wouldn't have a movie, would we? In metaphysical terms, I must immediately jump on the word “alive.” In what sense can a being that exists outside of time and space be said to be alive? Active, yes.

The movie is based on the actual experiences of Father Gary Thomas, a California priest who was assigned by his bishop to study exorcism at the Vatican. In "The Rite," he becomes Father Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue) from Chicago, and the closing credits tell us he's now working in a Western suburb. That's a fib. The director, Mikael Hafstrom, should say three “Hail Marys” and make a good act of contrition.

Father Michael is not a saint. He enters the seminary as a way to get a four-year college education before taking his vows, and then tries to leave the novitiate. Discovering the cost of his education would then roll over into a $100,000 student loan, he reconsiders and agrees to attend a monthlong course in Rome. This sort of detail is more refreshing than shots of him silhouetted against ancient desert structures while monks intone Gregorian chants.

In Rome, he attends classes, debates scripture, and then is advised to spent some time with an experienced exorcist, Father Lucas Trevant (Anthony Hopkins). This too is from the book byMatt Baglio, although in the book, this priest is Italian. As Hopkins appears onscreen, "The Rite" slips into gear and grows solemn and effective. Hopkins finds a good note for Father Trevant: friendly, chatty, offhand, self-effacing, realistic about demonic possession but not a ranter. He takes the kid along while treating the apparent possession of a pregnant young woman.

That something happens to make people seem possessed I have no doubt. Diagnosing whether Satan is involved is above my pay grade. What I must observe is that demonic possession seems very rare, and the Church rejects the majority of such reports. Yet it approaches epidemic proportions in "The Rite," almost as if it were a virus. The film is like one of those war movies where everybody gets wounded but John Wayne.

Still, I found myself drawn in. It is sincere. It is not exploitative; a certain amount of screaming, frothing and thrashing comes with the territory. My own guess is that people get the demons they deserve. While true believers go into frenzies, the Masters of Wall Street more cruelly lose joy in their wives and homes.

In Rome, Father Lucas meets a journalist named Angeline (Alice Braga), who like most women in the movies, even journalists, lacks a second name. She follows them on assignment, but it is one of the film's virtues that she does not get romantically involved. In a correct casting decision, Braga is attractive but not a sexpot. This movie was filmed largely in Hungary. In Hollywood, the role would have had Megan Fox written all over it.

Hafstrom uses what I assume are some Hungarian interiors to go with his exteriors in Rome. A centuries-old library is especially impressive. The ancient presence of the Vatican is evoked to great effect; a reminder that although Satan is in fashion in many denominations, when you want to exorcise, you call in the experienced professionals. The priests are not blind believers. Father Kovak argues at one point that a psychiatrist might be more appropriate. When they get into the trenches with the demons, there is spiritual hand-to-hand fighting, but Father Trevant, Father Kovak and Angeline are as realistic as probably possible.

This is I suspect a more realistic film than "The Exorcist," although not its equal. The real Father Gary Thomas has cited "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" (2005) as more accurate. I admire "The Rite" because while it delivers what I suppose should be called horror, it is atmospheric, its cinematography is eerie and evocative, and the actors enrich it. It has given some thought to exorcism. Grant its assumptions, and it has something to say.

Review Summary

A dying man entrusts a straight-shooting police detective with the key to a timeless mystery, thrusting the unsuspecting lawman into a deadly world where everyday objects have an unusual influence over reality as the result of an inexplicable rift in time and space. By all accounts the Sunshine Motel was one indistinguishable from any one of the countless other roadside lodges which dot Route 66. On the typical morning of an otherwise ordinary day, however, the contents in room ten of the Sunshine Motel are suddenly transformed into indestructible objects of immeasurable value. There's a comb with the power to stop time when the user runs it through their hair, and a pair of glasses that can inhibit combustion anywhere in a twenty-yard radius. When Police Detective Joe Miller (Peter Krause) is given the most powerful of all the objects - the key to room ten - he is quickly targeted for death by the various cabals that seek to collect the objects; some of the cabals want to collect to objects to achieve their own nefarious means, others simply to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. Things go from bad to worse for Detective Miller when his young daughter disappears in the room and he must race to solve the mystery of this strange phenomenon before he is caught in the crosshairs and his little girl disappears forever. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Wolf Blood season 1

Wikipedia
Wolfblood is a British fantasy/supernatural drama television series aimed at teens.^[1] It is a co-production between CBBC and ZDF/ZDFE. So far three series have been aired. Debbie Moon confirmed a fourth series consisting twelve episodes had been commissioned, but could not confirm specific details
Plot

The start of the series sees Maddy Smith as she comes closer to her first transformation. She lives with her family in Stoneybridge, Northumbria. When new boy Rhydian arrives at Bradlington High, Maddy recognizes him as a wolfblood. Rhydian, who lives with his foster family, had only recently started to change into a wolf. However, he is unaware of wolfbloods before his move to Stoneybridge. The Smith family claimed him as a distant cousin, and helped him settle in and learn about being a wolfblood. Rhydian becomes friends with Maddy's best friends Tom and Shannon, who are unaware of their friends' secret. Series 1 deals with Maddy and Rhydian trying to balance their lives as wolfbloods and their human sides, all the while trying to keep their secret from being exposed. Rhydian is also visited by his biological family, his mother Ceri and his brother Brynn, who tries to bring him back to his wild wolfblood pack. Ultimately, when Ceri threatens them and Maddy transforms to save them, Shannon, feeling betrayed, threatens to post her photos as evidence online, but is convinced otherwise by Rhydian. Shannon gives all of her evidence to the Smiths, who abandon their plans to leave Stoneybridge, and makes up with Maddy. At the end of the series, Rhydian leaves with his mother and brother to go to the wild wolfblood pack.

Series 2 is set three months after the series 1 finale. Rhydian flees from the angry alpha of the wild wolfblood pack, Alric. He returns to the Smiths and Stoneybridge, having been driven away by Alric for having taken his daughter, Jana, to a human village. Jana moves to Stoneybridge also, claiming that she was exiled from the pack, although she is sent by Alric to bring Rhydian for punishment. Jana, however, begins to fall in love with the human world, and makes friends with Maddy, Rhydian, Shannon, and Tom. At the same time, it is seen that Shannon has not given up collecting evidence of the Smiths, though she does so in secret, stating that she wants to use the evidence to protect the wolfbloods. Tension is caused by the wolfbloods wanting Shannon to delete the evidence, but Shannon, not wanting to let go of something she had been dedicated to her whole life, assures it will not be used to expose the wolfbloods. However, realizing that she can not both keep research of the wolfbloods and protect their secret, she deletes her research. Eventually Rhydian's mother, Ceri, returns and calls Jana back to become the wild wolfblood pack's new leader, as Alric has been exiled. Jana leaves, but Rhydian stays, stating that his life is in the human world and with the people he loves. Rhydian also helps Alric make peace with his new status as a lone wolf. Meanwhile, a boy at Maddy's school, Liam, has become obsessed with werewolves, his ancestor having been a werewolf hunter. Through an underground tunnel that Maddy inadvertently helped him find, he breaks into the Smiths' house and steals a dog chew with the Smiths' DNA on it. He sends this to the researcher Dr. Whitewood, exposing the wolfblood secret. Despite Rhydian's attempts to recover the DNA and research, the Smiths realize that it is too late, and leave to join the wild wolfblood pack. At the final scene, Maddy wants Rhydian to come with them but he declines, because if he goes at the same time the Smiths do, the police will think the Smiths has kidnapped him. Before Maddy leaves with her parents to the wild wolfblood pack, Maddy and Rhydian confess their love and Maddy says goodbye to her friends.

Series 3 is set a couple of months after Maddy and her family left Stoneybridge. Friendships are tested to the limit and lessons are learned about trust, leadership, and responsibility. Rhydian confronts new challenges, great danger, as well as a mysterious conspiracy. Rhydian becomes heartbroken after the departure of Maddy and her family and his discovery about what happened to them. Jana returns from the wild wolf pack in dire need of help, bringing with her new allies. Together with his friends, Tom, Shannon, and Jana, Rhydian must focus on life beyond school and Stoneybridge. Dr. Whitewood also reappears, still desperate to find evidence of wolfbloods. Rhydian discovers that new allies may not be what they seem and old enemies make their presence felt. As the series accelerates towards a climax, Rhydian must unite his pack or their species will face extinction.

MOVIE INFO

The new chapter in the terrifying horror series is written and directed by franchise co-creator Leigh Whannell. This chilling prequel, set before the haunting of the Lambert family, reveals how gifted psychic Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) reluctantly agrees to use her ability to contact the dead in order to help a teenage girl (Stefanie Scott) who has been targeted by a dangerous supernatural entity. (C) Focus

RogerEbert

Lin Shaye is one of those character actors—like Margo Martindale andStephen Tobolowsky—who have worked steadily for decades in a wide variety of supporting roles and they always make everything better. Even if they just appear in a few scenes, you’re always glad to see them and you wish you could see them more.

With “Insidious: Chapter 3,” Shaye finally gets her “more.”

Her character, veteran psychic Elise Rainier, was the most compelling figure in the first two “Insidious” movies, which were surprise, low-budget hits in 2011 and 2013. Writer and co-starLeigh Whannell, who created the series with James Wan and directs for the first time here, wisely places her front and center and gives her plenty of room to shine.

Shaye, whose best-known roles prior to the “Insidious” franchise have been in the Farrelly brothers favorites “There’s Something About Mary” and “Kingpin,” gets a chance to show an unusual amount of range for a horror movie heroine, from sadness and vulnerability to strength and resiliency. She’s just as effective with a sympathetic look as she is with a well-timed quip. It’s a joy to see such a seasoned performer seize her place in the spotlight at last.

But making you happy is not the first priority of “Insidious: Chapter 3.” It wants to scare the hell out of you, and it does that quite effectively with several serious jumps. About a half-dozen times, I’d say, Whannell creates moments that are legitimately surprising and frightening because he uses silence so well in contrast. I leapt out of my seat and grabbed the arm of the critic sitting next to me so often (and he did the same, although he shall remain nameless) that you’d think we’d never seen a horror movie before. Whannell’s imagery is that solidly creepy and his pacing is that precise. He indulges in a few artsy camera angles and movements, but mostly directs in able and understated fashion.

But beneath the scares, there is a substantial emotional undercurrent. By the end, you feel the characters’ sense of loss and grief, of catharsis and eventual closure. There are legitimate stakes here, not just cheap thrills. “Insidious: Chapter 3” is more intimate and mournful than its predecessors—and perhaps not as consistently, suffocatingly scary—but maybe that’s a good thing. The series needed to go in a different direction rather than repeating itself, and in doing so, it brings things full-circle.

Having said that, you definitely need to have seen the first two films to understand why certain characters and their relationships matter, who the various demons are and how, if at all, these hauntings are intertwined. You could come into the third film cold but it might not hold as much meaning as it could. That’s because “Insidious: Chapter 3” is a prequel which takes place a few years before the haunting of the Lambert family, led by Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne’s tormented and terrified husband and wife. It details how Elise became the fearless medium we now know her to be through an ordeal that helped her get her mojo back.

High school senior Quinn (Disney Channel alum Stefanie Scott), mourning her mother’s death from cancer a year and a half earlier, seeks Elise’s help in contacting her. Reclusive in her bathrobe in the middle of the day, Elise insists she doesn’t do that sort of thing anymore, for reasons that eventually become achingly clear. But she feels sympathy for this grieving girl and gives in, even though she’s all-too familiar with the types of evil spirits she might reach instead.

Turns out, the ghostly presence Quinn thinks is her mother is actually a predatory soul with an icky past and nefarious plans for the future. (The gooey, black footprints that start appearing all over the place should be the first clue that something is amiss.) But the whole family has been in a state of chaos and confusion since Quinn’s mother’s death, to the extent that nothing makes sense anymore: her scattered father, Sean (played with borderline sitcom cluelessness byDermot Mulroney), and bratty younger brother, Alex (Tate Berney).

A startling car accident that leaves aspiring actress Quinn with two broken legs renders her even more helpless to the ghost’s advances; her immobility, and her inability to protect herself, provide much of the tension here. Like something out of “Rear Window,” all she can do is watch and wait for inevitably terrible events to occur—just like us.

And so Sean and Quinn reach out to Elise one more time and plead with her to help purge this dark spirit from their home (a historic Hollywood apartment building rather than a charming and creaky Craftsman or Victorian). At the same time, younger brother Alex has found a pair of self-styled ghostbusters through their YouTube channel who might be of assistance: Specs (Whannell himself) and Tucker (Angus Sampson), the bumbling and bantering duo who provided much-needed comic relief in the first two films.

Watching Elise summon her inner strength to fight enemies on all sides in various dimensions—some of which exist in long, carpeted apartment hallways decorated in “Shining” chic—is the film’s real thrill. And if/when he makes “Insidious: Chapter 4,” Whannell would be wise to let her show what she can do once more. Petite and feisty, she’s the most capable person in the room—alive or dead—and easily the most fascinating.

Forclosure

IMDb
The story of a broken family striving to stay together while a curse and the ghosts of a haunted house try to tear them apart.



MovieMaevricks

Foreclosure is a minor entry into the over populated haunted house sub genre. This is a movie wholly devoid of suspense or shocks, and it becomes something of an ordeal to stay with as it runs through its inane plot with remote direction, uninspired dialogue and charmless characters.

Cal Andrews, was a Civil War enactor who inhabited a home that was once the site of a lynching. Many years pervious a young black boy was hung from the tree in Cal’s front yard. This bit of historical folklore didn’t seem to bother Cal, until one day he committed suicide. Now, Bill (Michael Imperioli) his son Steven (Spencer List), and Grandpa Ray (Bill Raymond) take over the property and try to breathe life into the ominous environment.

Before long Steven begins to notice strange noises, and his father’s increasingly erratic behavior. There is a reference to Bill’s unsteady emotional state due to his disintegrating marriage to Ray’s daughter, but it is so vague that it’s hard to pin a motivated reason on the characters flip-flopping other than that’s what happened in The Shinning and Amityville Horror, two obvious inspirations.

Director Richard Ledes has found a gem in young Spencer List. This adorable and capable actor is reminiscent of children that populated Spielberg’s 1980s films, there are even a few shots here, that pay homage to Poltergeist. His relationship with Imperioli is the most interesting aspect of the picture, the curse of a confederate army flag is really a distraction from watching the bond between father and son in a crisis.

Foreclosure seems to think it is making a statement on something, I couldn’t tell you what the filmmakers motivation was but the result is so convoluted that multiple views might be required for a proper plot explanation. If you’ve noticed I’ve fumbled through the synopsis, that is because I’ve just watched the picture and I’m still not clear on what exactly took place. I don’t mean to discount anyone’s passions, but if producers are charing for the VOD, then audiences deserve a coherent story with the barest minimum of production values. For this long-time fan of Michael Imperioli, see his excellent screenplay for Summer of Sam, Foreclosure is that much more of a disappointment.

Teeth and Blood

WickedChannel

Review-I for one have been anxious about this wave I heard called “urban horror films”. We got a few tastes in the past, the big ones being Tales from the Hood and Bones. I feel any new blood we get into this genre can only help our future, case in point this indie horror film called Teeth and Blood. In the first minutes of the film I thought it was going to be like a modern day Scary Movie type spoof on the Vampire films. This film feels like an urban version of Kolchak, with the crime mystery of a diva that is killed on the film set only to have her body missing. Like the machine, the film is only halted for seconds to minutes till the role can be filled. We meet young female undercover cop Sasha Colfax, who is beautiful on the outside but inside she is a bad ass who takes no shit. She is assigned a partner some detective named Mike Hung from another precinct to help her on the case. Colfax is the new actress while Hung is a hired hand on set. Soon, the movie seems to be only part of the mystery as the city’s blood supply is starting to get lower. This film dangles a fine line between horror and crime drama, and has a few comic jabs to liven up the flow of this film. I will be honest the horror elements in this film are the weakest part of the film. I liked the crime detectives trying to solve the case parts of this film. This film for me is a step in the right direction in terms of giving us a new perspective on a genre that misses more than hits, but the things that missed for other films misses for this one as well, and that is the film takes itself too serious and feels to over-explain everything to us. Storytelling is a simple formula when effective it can work, when overdone it really feels that you do not trust your core base to follow. As a whole this film is not going to be re-inventing the wheel, but it is a positive sign that people are really thinking outside of the perimeters to give us new directions in a genre that always had one.
