The premise
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.
Horror Vault's take
When a young woman named Emily Rose dies following a priest-led exorcism, the courtroom becomes the unlikely battleground between science and the supernatural. Father Moore faces a negligent homicide charge, defended by an ambitious agnostic attorney who finds herself increasingly shaken by the evidence she uncovers. The film splits its time between gripping legal drama and harrowing flashback sequences depicting what Emily claimed to endure. Rooted in a real-world case, it dares viewers to decide for themselves where the truth lies.
