Exorcism via Hollywood

I don't know how many readers of this blog saw the film in the theatres, but one of the most thoughtful treatments of the supernatural I have seen in a Hollywood motion picture in recent years was the handling of demonic possession in this year's The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I commend it for your viewing when it comes out on DVD (though don't watch it late at night, unless you want a near sleepless night like the one I experienced after seeing a 10PM screeing last month!). There is an interesting interview with an exorcist in New York City discussing the film here. It is my hope that films like this one will reawaken Americans to the reality of the spiritual realm, both in its positive and negative aspects. Hat tip to Sacramentum Vitae.
