Ever since we first saw the trailer for "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" several months ago, I've been psyched to see it.

It might not speak well of me that I love horror movies, and I especially enjoy the ones with a "God Vs. Evil" theme, like this one seems to have. "The Exorcist" is my favorite horror movie, and one of my top ten movies of all time.

I'm excited because tomorrow, my friend Jamie and I are going to go see "The Exorcism of Emily Rose." I'm seeing it with Jamie partly because Wendy shudders and runs for cover every time we see so much as the preview for the movie... and she refuses to even consider seeing it with me. I'm also seeing it with Jamie because he eats these kinds of movies up, too.

I know that the review meter at Rotten Tomatoes isn't particularly good for this film, but I'm still hopeful that I'll find things to like in the movie. The biggest complaint seems to be that the movie isn't really very scary. Honestly, I'm fine with that. It's really not that often that a horror movie actually scares me. If it gives me something to think about, though... that's really worth my time. The Catholic News Service gave it a pretty positive review, and that review seems to imply that the movie takes the subject matter seriously, so that bodes well. I'm not going to go in expecting a great movie... so if it's at least pretty good, I'll get my money's worth. I'm sure I'll post a review at film geeks.
