Short description
When a younger girl called Emily Rose dies, everyone puts blame on the exorcism which was performed on her by Father Moore prior to her death. The priest is arrested on suspicion of murder. The trial begins with lawyer Erin Bruner representing Moore, but it is not going to be easy, as no one wants to believe what Father Moore says is true.
What's left behind the scenes
- For a scene where the main character is shown curled up on the floor, a special mannequin was created, but it was never used. Carpenter proved to be very flexible, and the director decided that the poses she could strike herself were scarier. When her character begins to lean backward in the church, the actress was supported by a special brace, which made her movements look unnatural.
- The film is based on the real-life story of Anneliese Michel from Germany.
- The music Emily plays on the piano after the priest leaves is Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Op. 3 No. 2, or his famous Prelude in C-sharp minor.
- The plot is based on the real story of Anneliese Michel from Germany, who experienced the same events as Emily Rose, only in the 1970s, and about whom a specially invited anthropologist later testified in court. The girl's parents and two priests who performed the exorcism were put on trial, although the prosecution asked for the parents to be pardoned on the grounds that they had already suffered enough. Ultimately, the defendants were found guilty of criminal negligence leading to death. Among the differences between the real events and those shown in the film, it can be noted that in reality, Michel fasted for several months (this was one of the elements of the exorcism) and continued to take medication until her death, while the fictional Rose could not eat due to possession and decided to refuse medication herself. The plot of the film, based on real events, was heavily adapted to the requirements of cinema.

- Two mannequins were created for the film, in particular, for filming the scene in which the main character is shown on the floor, completely contorted. In this case, the director did not use the mannequin during filming, as Carpenter turned out to be very flexible, and he decided that the poses she could take herself were scarier than anything that could be depicted using a mannequin. When her character begins to lean back in the church, the actress was supported by a special brace, which made her movements look unnatural.
