Watched it once when it first came out, and was impressed by the depth and unique elements of the story. I wasn't expecting much. Most "exorcism" films since The Exorcist seemed to be rip-offs trying to boil down the horror elements into candybar. Instead, Emily Rose is it's own story; very well acted and made.
It's best to approach the film as a stand alone film, without any preconceptions or expectations to The Exorcist. That's probably a difficult task, but a rewarding mindset to be in before seeing the film (or any film, I suppose).
