Exorcism of Emily Rose

"Work out your own salvation through fear and trembling"

Very few movies outside the series have rivaled "SAW" (in my opinion) in being the most engaging and intellectually stimulating movie. This movie is right up there. Watching this movie has left me dazed with a lot more room for doubt than i already had in such matters. Being an agnostic, i could relate to Linney's character defending the priest. It is important to note that the FATHER was defended by an AGNOSTIC while the State (prosecuting the father for negligent homicide) was defended by a methodist.

Father Moore: Tell me your six names!
Emily Rose: [Possessed] We are the ones who dwell within.
Emily Rose: [in Hebrew language] I am the one who dwelt within CAIN!
Emily Rose: [in Latin language] I am the one who dwelt within NERO!
Emily Rose: [in Greek language] I once dwelt within JUDAS!
Emily Rose: [in German Language] I was with Legion
Emily Rose: [In Assyrian Neo-Aramaic language] I am Belial
Emily Rose: [possessed/English] and I am Lucifer, The devil in the flesh
(from imdb.com)

The brilliance of this movie is that it opens up the possibility of possession being true, while it does not state as a fact that it is. It lets the viewers decide for themselves. Personally, i do not know. The movie still has to sink in before i can actually give it thought, i guess.

Last but not least, BASED ON A TRUE STORY!

My suggestion is to watch it and as soon as possible (and obviously watch Saw - all three).
