About the ordeal which befell a real German girl named Anneliese Michel who reportedly had a gamut of neurological/psychiatric disorders which she eventually came to believe were due to supernatural influences.
A correct film. The crux of the drama lies at the mother, a character so heinous that the suggestion of her being the cause of her daughter's psychological imbalance seems immediately reasonable. She is probably a speculative character (I haven't been able to find any account confirming that the real-life mother was in fact like this), but I think this is a better theory for what happened than anything that involves demons. There was another film based on the same incident, The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005), which tried to be "fair" to both sides, but you can't be fair to murderers and charlatans unless you call them exactly that.
