A look at some of the movies set to be released in North America, the week of 9 September, 2005.
Note, "fresh" or "rotten" refer to the movie's Rotten Tomatoes rating, based on North American critical reviews. The higher the percentage, the greater the percentage of critics that liked the movie.
Nineteen-year-old college student Emily Rose (played by Jennifer Carpenter) was the victim of a demonic possession. The story follows the lawyer, Erin Bruner (Laura Linney) and her fight against the church and the priest named Father Richard Moore (Tom Wilkinson) who performed the botched exorcism. According to the director, this may be the first ever courtroom horror film.
The film is loosely based on the actual events of Michel in 1962. German director Hans-Christian Schmid is launching his own treatment of Anneliese Michel's story, Requiem, around the same time in late 2005. His movie stays very close to the real-world events and is a drama rather than a horror film.
Released by Sony Pictures. Also stars Campbell Scott, Shohreh Aghdashloo.
44% approval by North American film critics
