The original inspiration for the movie was a book titled "The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel" by Dr. Felicitas Goodman. She was the anthropologist called in as an expert on possession. However, the original was heavily adapted for cinematic purposes. more
Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Erin Bruner is awakened at 3 a.m. by the exorcism tape playing, she proceeds to turn it off. When she does this you can see that the tape reels were not turning during play and therefore remain unchanged when she presses the stop button. more

Excellent and intelligent..close to the book., 12 September 2005
Author: Karyn324 from United States

With the exception of the title, " Emily Rose" vs "Anneliese Michel", this was an excellent adaptation of the book. Actually, one of the consultants was Felicitas Goodman, the author and anthropologist who studied this case and I believe, owns the audiotapes of the ritual.

It is actually more of a court room drama. However, there is no sparing of pure psychological terror. All and all an excellent movie. Other posters have observed that believing in Christianity or the lack thereof, is not shoved down the viewer's throats. It allows one to form their own opinion.

My only concern; the PG-13 rating. Way too intense for viewers 10-13 years old or younger.
