Not-the-Exorcist movie?

MovieTitleFilter: There was some movie trailer I saw this year about a youngish demonic/antichrist girl...

I remember really wanting to see it although I am definitely not the horror/thriller moviegoer, but I have no idea what it is called. All I can remember is that it was about some scientist or scholarly type coming to visit a woman who had a really unusual daughter, with some implications of devil/antichrist/possession/satan/whatever, there was one scene with a bunch of either birds or moths (or winged somethings) in a room of the house, and specifically the quip along the lines of:

"Are you here to [kill/take/destroy] my daughter?"
"Oh, heavens no."
"Why not?"

I'm thinking the trailer was shown approximately the time that either the 2nd Pirates/Caribbean trailer, or the Children of Men trailer, would have been showing in theatres, before the release date for those. Or shown in a set of trailers that also included those in the trailer lineup (thus probably being the same production company)... Any earthly idea?

The Exorcism of Emily Rose, probably.

It's called The Reaping and it stars Hilary Swank. Apple's trailer website is down right now but you should be able to see it there.

OK, now it's back up, four seconds later. Here's the trailer.

Also, I screwed up the original Apple trailers link. I'm on a roll today.

You're awesome! I was thinking this morning it might have been Jennifer Connelly (as I get the drooly-mouth for both Swank and Connelly), but you got it quick! merci =D
