Evidently it's based on true events.
Which, in Hollywood terms, means that at one point there was a young girl named Emily Rose. Doesn't have to go much farther than that.

It was supposedly BASED on a true story...not everything that happened in the movie happened in real life. The movie is an exaggerated version of what happened.

Yes i believe, there is a lot of things in this world that is unexplainable and some people don't have sense enough to think the unthinkable.

It was "adapted" for the movie, but is based on first hand accounts of actual events. So was The Exorcist.

Yes, I think there was probably a little bit of creative license but, yes, it was real. You should hear a real exorcism first hand. The Devil is very real and his little minions are real too but, just remember who Jesus is and depend on that.

No, of course not. People can't be possessed by the Devil. What utter nonsense. Where did you hear that rubbish? The things some people will try to push on to others...unbelievable.

It was loosely based on a real story of a very sick girl. The movie is a VERY fictionalized take on it.
(The real girl's name was Anneliese Michel)

No, people do not really have their heads rotate 360 degrees and then projectile vomit what looks like pea soup. No matter what happens..
