What is the title of the 2005 hit movie "The Exorcism of..."?

The title of the 2005 hit movie is The Exorcism of Emily Rose. The film combines supernatural horror with courtroom drama, following defense lawyer Erin Bruner as she represents Father Richard Moore after an exorcism ends in Emily Rose’s death.

Directed by Scott Derrickson and co-written with Paul Harris Boardman, the movie uses the trial to present competing explanations for Emily’s experiences. Doctors argue that conditions such as epilepsy and schizophrenia account for her symptoms, while the priest and other witnesses interpret them as demonic possession. That legal and medical framing distinguishes the film from a straightforward possession story.

The character is loosely inspired by Anneliese Michel, a German woman whose death followed multiple exorcism sessions in 1976. The film is not a literal reconstruction of that case. It was released by Screen Gems on September 9, 2005, and became a commercial success, earning about $145 million worldwide against a reported $19 million budget. Jennifer Carpenter’s performance as Emily was especially noted for its physical intensity.
