Scary movie. There were a couple of interesting slants to this movie:
1. How the "faith evidence" was marginalized and trivialized. The point of the movie was to say that we can't know for certain that the supernatural doesn't exist, even when our society says it cannot.
2. How the psychologist gave the symptoms of Emily Rose a new technical term giving symptoms of demon possession a medical category. This would be like someone who sees a vision of Jesus and decides they were hallucinating.
So I like the perspective this movie shows. And by the end I was more saddend than scared.

So, do you think I'd like (or appreciate--like maybe isn't the best word here) the movie? I have to admit, I'm curious. But I'm also cheap, so I probably won't see it anytime in the near future. ;-)
You might appreciate it, but you won't like the scare factor, although demon possesion is not supposed to be fun to watch.
If it helps, after seeing the movie on Saturday, I still don't want to look at the clock when I wake up at night.
