The Exorcism of Emily Rose was directed by Scott Derrickson, who would go on to direct the first Doctor Strange film, The Gorge, Black Phone 1&2, and my personal favorite: Sinister (Sinister 2 wasn't directed by Derrickson).
But Emily Rose has a lot going for it. It's an intensely scary horror film that's also very cerebral.
Jennifer Carpenter, best known from Dexter, stars as Emily, a young woman who is possessed by a demon.
Carpenter gives a great performance here, and she goes barefoot for a good chunk of the film.
And there are also the required shots of the possessed Jennifer tied to the head of her bed.
But it's still a very scary film. Don't put off watching it until Halloween.
