Most movies don't get the same emotional response that The Exorcist gets out of me...so any movie that comes out with the same subject matter is going to be under a very critical microscope from me.
I hope this movie finds a way to seperate itself from the obvious comparisons.
NOTE: Based on an earlier post in this thread...I STILL don't get why The Exorcist makes people laugh. lol. I've heard that a few times now -- mainly from a younger audience watching it for the first time...may be outdated to them, I dunno. But seriously, even though it is an old movie...still scares the fuck out of me more than ANY horror movie made with all the blood/gore super special effects.

I completely agree about The Exorcist. No movie has frightened me more. And like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it is one of those films that fascinates me and repulses me at the same time. I agree, I can't tear my eyes from the screen. Which makes it one of the most effective horror movies ever made. If not the most effective. I find nothing at all funny about The Exorcist. And I actually had a guy tell me that The Ring was scarier than The Exorcist....huh? LOL I don't get that at all. I suppose everyone is different.
I don't know about the Exorcism of Emily Rose. I have seen the trailer and it looks like it could be okay, we'll see. But I don't see it having nearly the emotional impact of The Exorcist.
