Was it The Exorcism of Emily Rose ? I remember when it came out there was a lot of controversy because it's believed that she had epilepsy or a similar condition, and the filmmakers were accused of dramatizing/exploiting her suffering and death for a quick buck. I just found out today that Laura Linney, who was once the hostess of Masterpiece Classic, was in this movie.

Definitely. They were methodical and they enjoyed every second of terrorizing and assaulting this woman. As disturbing as it was, it was an effective scene because it showed how brutal sexual assault is. Sadly enough, I've heard of writers or directors who have rape/molestation scenes, but completely botch them.

On a lighter note, I was flipping through the channels one time and someone was interviewing Malcolm McDowell. He reported that sometime after the movie came out (I don't remember how soon it was) he was at some celebrity party and someone told him, "Gene Kelly is here. Would you like to meet him?" Malcolm said he would and the other guy brought him over. Gene recognized him, gave him a look, and walked out without saying a word. That seems harsh, but I can't say I blame him.
