Publisher's Synopsis
Double-bill of horror. In 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' (2005), based on 'true events', the Catholic Church, in an extremely rare decision, officially recognises the demonic possession of a 19-year-old college freshman. The film chronicles the haunting trial of the priest accused of negligence resulting in the death of the young girl believed to be possessed. Laura Linney plays the lawyer Erin Bruner, who takes on the task of defending the priest, Father Moore (Tom Wilkinson), who originally performed the controversial exorcism. In 'The Relic' (1997), biologist Margo Green (Penelope Ann Miller) teams up with police Lieutenant D'Agosta (Tom Sizemore) to investigate a series of grisly murders at her place of work - the Natural History Museum. Can there be a link with the recently-arrived crates belonging to a missing anthropologist from Brazil? All that is found in the crates are some leaves covered with a strange fungus which, when analysed, proves capable of mutating whoever eats it. When a guard is killed and a headless body interrupts the museum's exhibition gala, Margo and D'Agosta discover that there is an ancient killer monster on the loose.
