The Exorcism of Emily Rose
A good Horror/Drama but not for ages 13 and under, it might be too scary for the ones who get scared easy.

Dont let eleven year old watch film!
I saw this movie and my kids cryed so hard and my eleven year old daughter had nightmares for a month and my sixteen year old daughter cryed and my husband covered his eyes! I almost cryed too! Some rating they gave it PG-13 was the wrong rating for that It should have been R!

Good for 13+
If your looking for a clean scary movie, this would be the one. Surprisingly enough there is only two bad words used in the whole movie; one use of sh*t and one use of b*tch. There is also no sex, which is rare in a horror film.

More Drama then Horror
This movie has more of a courtroom case then an exorcism people are going to see. It is mostly courtroom. There are some scary sceans. It was kind of funny too.

Freakishly terrifying...far scarier than The Exorcist, 1973.
This movie is EXTREMELY scary, and compared to The Exorcist, 1973, this movie blows that off the charts. The Exorcist was just about the girl and her head spinning. This one is the traumatization of what happens to the girl, and her experiences before her death. The story is extremely thick, and the horror happens every few minutes. Some parts drago on, but the flashbacks are freaking scary, disturbing!, and nightmarish. (If there was a PG-15, this gets it! Rated that for VERY strong language, INTENSE frightening scenes, STRONG religious matter, MILD sexual content ((spirits raising a shirt)), NOT RECOMMENDE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN)

Not scary, just terrifying in a shocking way!
Wow. This is an EXTREMELY intense movie. If I had a different type of movie rating which was age minimum and then plus, I would have to say 16+. This movie is EXTREMELY strong in language (about 100 uses of the word hell) unless you are looking at it from a religious view, which is the way you are supposed to. The violence ins't bloody, but it involves slapping, possession, hair pulling, etc. There is constant reference to a drug that may have killed someone and there is some strong drinking. So 16+.

Very good, a terrifying, complex film!
This movie is NOT for ANYONE under the age of 17! It is a very intricate web of demonic posession and courtroom drama, and while that may be enough to go over some of the younger viewer's heads, it is the horror scenes that will really get them. Jennifer Carpenter does a fabulous job in this film...she really sells it! It is very, very scary and there are lots of screams and body contortions. There are some cheesy horror movie gags, but they work here! I strongly recommend watching with the director's commentary on as you will get so much more out of this film! The story is mesmerizing, and it is actually quite sad at the end. Overall, it is a great movie but not for anyone faint of heart and not for children!
