Saw this yesterday, had to be the worst ending I have ever endured at the movies.

I also saw it (I'm a sucker for horror), and it was ... It was awful. Not fun awful, just purely rotten. As any sane person would tell be without even seeing it.

I'm pretty sure I screamed "STOP ZOOMING" in my sleep.

I feel like there is no end to exorcism movies. And they all basically have the same storyline- Catholic Church supposedly disavows exorcisms yet there are one or two priests who still do them, they eventually exorcise the devil out of the girl (it's always a girl), etc. etc. I swear the Catholic Church must be bankrolling these movies.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose was bankrolled by religious folks. The reasoning is that if they can convince people that the Devil is real, they can get them to believe in God.

That seems silly, if it's true.

I love a good exorcism movie (or any demon/biblical type horror film) and I'm pretty much an atheist. I can't be the only one.

Horror movies are my guilty pleasure, but this just looks awful. The trailer shows bad acting, a convoluted storyline, and cheap jump-scares. Glad I didn't waste 20 bucks on it.

Funny, for some reason my hungover brain tried replacing every instance of "exorcism" in this post with the word "orgasm".

I'm not surprised. Have you seen that more recent film with Anthony Hopkins? It's all about a younger priest who is having doubts and then Hopkins gets the debil out of a girl so then he believes!! So clearly pro-religion.

Well, there's some sort of sexual thing going on with that. After all, most exorcism movies have a possessed girl or young woman as the subject. A touch o' fear there about burgeoning sexuality, perhaps?

I got to see it for free at work. I thought it was pretty good up until the ending. It reminded me too much of the Blair Witch Project. Don't get me wrong, I love horror movies, I just hate movies that end so abruptly.

And they're usually barely pre- or post-pubescent. It's most definitely not a coincidence.

Emily Rose has the same character, only this one is a lawyer.

SilentStrider: Am I the only one who's never heard of this movie?

I've only heard of it because I went to the movies three times this past week and it was advertised all over Fandango and movietickets.com. Otherwise, I haven't seen a single commercial, poster, bus ad, billboard or even a review.

That's my favorite line as well, sure transformers made a lot here but made even more overseas.

Oh well at least its not a comic book movie.

No you don't have a shot against them. The only thing you can do (which I don't know why characters don't) is knock him down long enough to get to a car and drive until you don't even have gas.

As for the movie, I don't get the appeal of these types of horror movies. I find them more incredibly frustratingly stupid and annoying than tense.

Yeah, I read a lot of good things about it, particularly how well it's doing in the awards circuit.

I love silent movies to begin with, so this should be right up my alley.
