From start to finish, the DVD offered a strong transfer. I noticed no problems with sharpness. Even in wide shots, the movie lacked softness. It always came across as tight and well-defined. Jagged edges and shimmering created no concerns, and I witnessed no signs of edge enhancement. As for print flaws, a couple of small marks appeared, but the majority of the movie looked clean.
What would a modern horror film be without a stylized palette? Actually, Rose presented more natural hues than normal, though they tended to be rather subdued.
Blacks were deep and dense, while the many low-light shots demonstrated good definition and clarity. Overall, this was a pleasing image. In addition, the Dolby Digital 5. The soundfield took full use of the many creepy scenes. It came to life most vividly in the climactic exorcism sequence; at that time, thunder roared and the track created a lively setting.
Other scares popped up from the speakers along the way, and the whole package gave us a strong sense of setting that accentuated the spookiness. Audio quality fared well. Speech was always natural and crisp, with no edginess or issues connected to intelligibility. Music appeared dynamic and full, while effects presented the greatest impact. The scenes that jolted us offered deep, dynamic elements that punched us at the appropriate times.
Actually, a couple of shots suffered from slightly mushy bass, but usually the track boasted tight low-end response. This ended up as a solid mix. We now find a smattering of extras. These open with an audio commentary from director Scott Derrickson.
He offers a running, screen-specific track. From start to finish, Derrickson proves informative and interesting. He covers a nice mix of subjects that give us a good look at the flick.

Watch options. Storyline Edit. 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. Based on a true story. Did you know Edit. Trivia Jennifer Carpenter 's audition was so convincing and scary that the director decided to cast her right then. The titular possessed woman Jennifer Carpenter is 19 and speaks English well, English and Latin and Aramaic, but hey, she's possessed.
Also, any pesky questions about belief or the ethics of exorcism are quickly ejected in favor of "Perry Mason" histrionics, right down to a sneering prosecutor played by Campbell Scott, who even grew a mustache to twirl. Of course, there's nothing new about taffy-stretching the "truth" in a horror flick.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre pulled the same stunt with panache three decades earlier. But reducing this tragic, multifaceted case to blatant good-and-evil horror grammar feels a little insulting.
Emily is wonderfully played by Carpenter, who has a weird, pliable face for possession.
