Jennifer Carpenter’s Performance Was So Scary, ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’ Originally Received an “R” Rating

Before Sinister became a horror favorite, director Scott Derrickson mixed real-life drama into a tale of possession with The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which recently celebrated its 15th anniversary.

The dramatic horror film starred Laura Linney as a lawyer who takes on a negligent homicide case involving a priest (Tom Wilkinson) who performed an exorcism on a young girl, played by a pre-“Dexter” Jennifer Carpenter.

The big selling point for the movie was that Carpenter had performed her own terrifying contortions and that no Hollywood tricks had been utilized. Derrickson looks back at her mesmerizing performance, recalling actually building a puppet for the iconic dorm room sequence, only to have Carpenter do it all in-camera.

Carpenter didn’t just twist her body, she contorted her face so horrifically that the MPAA originally slapped The Exorcism of Emily Rose with an “R”-rating “for disturbing images and terror,” forcing Derrickson to remove the scene. As he explains, Derrickson “wanted a PG-13” rating for theaters. An “Unrated” version of the film was subsequently released on home video.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose took in a whopping $145 million globally on just a $19 million reported budget. It was a smash hit that would lead to Derrickson directing the Keanu Reeves sci-fi thriller The Day the Earth Stood Still and eventually Marvel’s Doctor Strange. Carpenter would next star in Showtime’s “Dexter” and the horror movie Quarantine.
