The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Also out this fortnight is this mediocre US theological
horror based on the true story of a German girl who was believed to have been possessed by a demon before dying an agonising death during an exorcism in 1976. Clearly rushed out to beat next year’s German language film Requiem - which is expected to stay truer to the real events - this stars Tom Wilkinson and Laura Linney.
