I've been thinking of making a review on this movie for this is the kind of movie that truly scare my inner being. Honestly, I don't easily get scared by ghost movies, not at all. But when evil possession or the works of evil is there, that makes me real scared and trembling. I actually pray and brace myself before I start watching one. So here, I and Hubby decided to download this movie out of curiosity from the internet and watched it together last week. All that you will read in here are pure views and opinions from me.

I believe that what happened to Emily Rose is real. It's so real that even the doctor who was right there during her exorcism couldn't explain what he felt and witnessed in that very moment. He was totally terrified.

As a Christian, who believes in God and in evil, I'd say that this movie is never a fiction nor a fact but a manifestation of what evil can do to human beings. As to what I saw in this movie, Emily Rose was a devout Christian and was active in the church. But why did evil came to dwell in her and made her suffer? And to think, 6 evil names were inside her. 

First, it's because God allowed it. He loved Emily so much that it's His way to let people know what evil spirits can and cannot do. I'm sure that a lot of people will doubt that God allowed it because why of all people, Emily has to bear it. When she was a very good girl, a very aspiring lady to her career and sure to have a bright future. Well, in this light, I always say that we cannot question how God wants to let us know the whole truth. For me, I definitely believe in the end part of this movie that Emily was destined to be in this situation. The devil stays where they are and she has the choice to stay or leave. During this time, I was actually really sad because no one deserves to be in this but you know, in either way, I was totally happy to know that whatever happens, she's going to be with our Father in heaven. And I was in awe that Emily chose to stay on. 

I'm sure that this is a big question to most of us. The truth is, evil is here to deceive, kill and destroy. In the case of this movie, we saw how terrible the extent could be. But then again, God gave us free minds to believe it or not. We have all the freedom to choose yet for me, God has His ways even to this present time how He wants us to know and make us realize His power and love that no matter what happens, for as long as we believe in Him, and have faith in Him, we will never be forsaken. Evil may do big and small things in us, that sometimes, it's too small that we don't think it's deceiving us already when wrong becomes right. The question is, will we let that stay in us or let it go. It's our choice. 

This movie may scare us but then let's take in the joy of other things that God gives us everyday. A blessed day to everyone.
