The Exorcism of Emily Rose | 15 Question Movie Multiple Choice Quiz

Answer: Jennifer Carpenter

Jennifer offered an intense and haunting portrayal of young Emily Rose. She can also be seen in the Wayan brothers' film "White Chicks". Laura Linney, who played Erin Bruner in the movie, said she suggested Jennifer because they'd done a play together, "The Crucible", along side Liam Neeson.
Linda Blair played the possessed child Regan in "The Exorcist".

Answer: her dorm room

Emily had been left alone at school because her roommate had gone home. She awoke at three in the morning and thought she smelled something burning. She went into the hall, but found no evidence of a fire. She was either attacked at 3:02 a.m., or had her first seizure.

Answer: to make senior partner in her law firm

Karl Gunderson explained to Erin that the Catholic Arch Diocese wanted her to defend Father Moore because she'd been able to get James Van Hopper acquitted. She told Karl that she'd take the case if he made her a senior partner. She wanted her name on the door of their office, right next to his own.

Answer: False

She described herself as agnostic, which means she could not sincerely express a belief or a denial in God. When she told him the story of the mysterious locket she'd found with her three initials on it, he called her more of a mystic than an agnostic.

Answer: in a bar

James Van Hopper was the client in a high profile murder case in which Erin had been victorious. Not long after she took on Father Moore's case, James murdered a young couple who he was said to have known. She was having a drink in the movie's resident bar (seen several times in the film) when Channel 15's newscast reported the murder.

This news left Erin visibly shaken. Director Scott Derrickson commented that the bar was located in Vancouver and did not actually have the skyline seen in the movie.

It was projected via green screen and CGI.

Answer: True

He explained that Emily felt she'd fought off the demon on the first attack inside her dorm room. But later, in the hospital, she'd been overwhelmed.

Answer: university chapel

After leaving the hospital, Emily's condition rapidly worsened, despite being medicated for her presumed epilepsy. She saw demons on people's faces, saw faces melt, and even saw demons in windows. She ran hysterically from her classroom and out into a rain storm, and headed to the chapel. Jason spotted her running inside.

He followed her and witnessed her bend backward, eyes black with red whites. The demons warned Jason not touch them, and then Emily collapsed to the floor of the church. She turned toward a shocked Jason and begged him not to leave her.

He told Erin that he never left her from that day forward. He was with her when she died at her parent's home.

Answer: Yes

Emily first awoke in her dorm room at 3 a.m., and then Erin's watched stopped at the same time. After being warned about dark and powerful forces by Father Moore, Erin herself awoke a this time and smelled something burning inside her apartment. In court, Father Moore explained about the demonic witching hour mocking the holy trinity, and the 3 p.m. miracle hour, which was the hour of Jesus' death.

Answer: Dr. Mueller

Dr. Mueller was the university's chairman to the Department of Neurology. He reviewed Emily's case and explained to the court how her symptoms were those related to having epilepsy. He'd performed an EEG test that showed a possible epileptic focus in her left temporal lobe. Upon cross examination, he was forced to admit that it was possible Emily did not have epilepsy.

Answer: to tell Emily's story

He made it clear to Erin that he'd make no plea agreement to lessen his sentence. He would not lie and admit to a guilt he did not own, and he demanded to testify as to the truth about what happened to Emily. That was his only goal, and he was not afraid to go to jail. We found out later why it was so important for her story to be told.

Answer: to become a teacher

She told this to Erin Bruner, when Erin visited Emily's home. She told Mrs. Rose that she'd also come from humble beginnings and was raised by a single mother who was a school teacher. Emily had received a full scholarship and had gone to school to be a teacher as well. Emily was also an animal lover, and had accumulated 11 stray cats over the years.

Answer: Gambutrol

Gambutrol was used to alleviate the epileptic seizures that had supposedly caused Emily to develop an ongoing psychosis. After conferring with Father Moore, Emily had come to the conclusion that she was suffering from a spiritual disorder, demonic possession, and that Gambutrol was useless. She'd experienced no alleviation of symptoms when using this drug.

Answer: Yes

Dr. Adani was an anthropologist, and expert in the scientific approach to possession and exorcism. She had many degrees and published many works on the subject matter. She basically stated that whether or not Emily was truly possessed was irrelevant. Emily's belief that she was possessed was why the exorcism was needed.

The drug separated Emily from the perceived possession bio-chemically, and prevented Emily from benefiting from Father Moore's exorcism.

Answer: 6

Six demons spoke in various languages while the exorcism took place. They each identified themselves by a past possession or event they caused. From Emily came references to Cain, Nero, Judas, Legion, Belial and Lucifer.
This use of "unknown" languages was explained away in court by Emily's past teachings in catechism class.

Answer: Dr. Briggs

Dr. Briggs was the prosecution's second expert to testify about Emily's medical condition. He was the one who came up with this notion of psychotic epileptic disorder. Dr. Cartwright was the anonymous doctor who Father Moore called in to oversee Emily's physical condition. He did not reveal the doctor's identity, but Cartwright came forward with the audio tape of the exorcism, and wanted to testify on Father Moore's behalf. Unfortunately he was killed, right in front of Erin Bruner, before his court appearance.
Emily had received a vision of the virgin mother after the exorcism. The holy spirit had offered her the chance to abandon her demonically wracked body and be free from pain. But, if she stayed inside her body she'd reveal the demonic powers to thousands of people. Emily chose to stay in her body, and received the stigmata after returning. The stigmata was argued away as Emily gripping her barbed wire fence after the "vision" had occurred.
Father Moore was found guilty of negligent homicide, but the jury recommended him to a sentence of time served. The judge agreed and Father Moore was released.
