It won a few awards.
Saturn Award for Best Horror Film - 2006
Golden Trailer for Best Horror - 2006
MTV Movie Award for Best Frightened Performance (Jennifer Carpenter) - 2006
Scream Award for Breakout Performance (Jennifer Carpenter) - 2006 What I especially disliked was that the movie "disproved" exorcism and what are known as "proofs" of the spirit to people who have the rare experiences with them. We've been over it before on this board. If a person speaks a foreign language "without study or training" most people are going to believe they actually had study and training but are lying about it. A child's own mother is one of very few people who will be certain what study or training there was. Similarly, knowledge of some very private event in a person's life is going to be disregarded by the wide world as a scam, only the person certain the information could only be obtained through extrasensory perception will be impressed. You perhaps noticed that there are several mentally retarded people on this board who are rather adamant that "there is no evidence" of spiritual phenomena. What is true is that the evidence is not generally available to the wide world for the reasons I mentioned. The movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose will make the doubters feel triumphant without good reason. Otherwise the movie was a typical fright movie. I suspect some of the "awards" were the result of the military grunts who are determined to "win the game" even though they obviously do not deserve to win.
I felt it leaned more towards the spiritual side. The doubters seemed like people I would gladly punch in the face.
