Squilky...On the Aisle...
Over the weekend we watched "The Diary of Emily Rose". It's a story of a college student, who dies during an exorcism. Supposedly it's based on a true story. It wasn't a great movie, but it was definitely different and thought provoking. Most of the movie revolves around the murder trial against the priest who was present during the exorcism. Basically the prosecutor takes the stance that Emily was not possesed and that there was a medical explination for her behavior. It was a pretty interesting movie. It's basically science vs faith, sort of reminds me of the whole issue with creationism being taught in the schools. On a scale of 1-10, I give The Diary of Emily Rose 7 upside down crosses.

I read in People that when the film first came out the movie was loosely based on a German girl(not the same name) who was supposedly bipolar and her parents didn't want to give her any medical help. They were Christian Scientists I believe. So they called a priest. The girl went on a hunger/water strike and starved to death.
Yeah I heard the same thing that it took place in Germany. And apprantly the mother and father were charged with negligent homicide as well, which wasnt the case in the movie.
WOW, good catch Dave. The diary...hehe. Yeah I thought the same thing, it had it's horror elements, but it had a thought provoking element to it too.
