The movie The Excorsim of Emily Rose is based on a true account. Did she have a mental illness or was she really possessed?

This question has no official answer. It all depends on what you beleive, if you have no faith in God and don't beleive in demons and the holy spirit and things like that, than you might go to the scientific approach and say she was very ill. If you do have faith, you might beleive she was really possessed. Me, I'm pretty religious so I say she was possessed, but it's all up to what you think and what you feel is right. It was a great movie, great drama I loved it.

That is the point of the movie. You have to make up your mind for yourself. The priest said on the witness stand that Emily chose to die. She felt it was what God wanted her to do to save others. The doctors said that it was the absence of mind altering drugs that caused her psychotic episodes to grow so pronounced that she finally killed herself. There is no telling who was right and who was wrong. If the doctors had their way she would have been a zonked out zombie unable to express herself, unable to function, and perhaps still tormented. Who knows?

That is up to you to decide. I don't believe in possession, and I AM A CHRISTIAN. It is mostly CATHOLICS who still believe in Demonic Possession so don't imply the rest of us aren't religious. I do think the Priest was doing what he thought was right though. Perhaps she was "possesed" in a psychological way, so no medicine could have helped her.

That's the whole point of the movie. No one knows for sure, and the movie makers leave it up to the audience to decide for themselves.

it was a dissease called "bad screen writting", it affects most half baked new horror movies, the only knwo cure is a good movie...liek hostel, evil dead, evil dead 2, the shinning, feast, slither, saw, or if you can find it, the original dawn of the dead.
