Jennifer Carpenter stars as the title character in The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
Like with Linda Blair, Jen gets her hands tied to the head of the bed while her family and a priest try to drive the devil from her.
Emily Rose is a fantastic horror film that's very scary in a way that's completely unnerving. It scares you through shadows and silence.
I love this moment when Jen leans forward against her bonds. She's got this great "don't fuck with me, fadder" look on her face.
Jen gives an amazing performance in this, and there are moments where she's genuinely creepy, and it's all from her acting.
This was directed by Scott Derrickson, who went on to direct the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, Sinister, the first Doctor Strange, and The Black Phone. Great director, and great stuff.
