Viewing The Secrets of Emily Blair should be enough as definitive proof of the total lack of possible developments within a genre that has objectively (and literally) given up the ghost. The infernal beast that Emily carries within her certainly has nothing to do with the much more tempting and lustful one of Maruschka Detmers in Marco Bellocchio’s film.

The Secrets of Emily Blair is a tedious addition to the exorcism horror genre, filled with overused clichés and subpar special effects. Director Joseph P.

Its attempt at camp and quirky moments is not enough to redeem the overall poor quality. Explore this review and decide if The Secrets of Emily Blair lives up to your horror expectations!
