Worth a watch though. For exorcism movies, STILL can't beat the original, The Exorcist, A truly brilliant film, and scary as Hell, Literally! :o Edited February 15, 2008 by James Steven Beverly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda cool seeing an possesion from the view point of the one who is possessed. I just re-watched Jacobs Ladder, pretty good. The shaky head guys are freaky, and the look of the film really captures NY in its gritty, claustrophobic palette pretty effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Green Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) Another vote for The Exorcism Of Emily Rose. If you're lucky enough to see this on a proper screen with an excellent audio system then it really is scary. Whether it's a horror film is another matter, though. Also, Werner Herzog's Nosferatu. A film that shows just how disturbing a film can be with a little imagination rather than a big budget.

Premium Member Paul Bruening Posted February 19, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted February 19, 2008 There are so many good ones to list. At the same time, I can't think of a story form that has generated as many bad manifestations... well... maybe love stories. Night of the Living Dead did it for me. I was a kid in my beginning teens. The zombies were so symbolic of the world of adults that I was waking up to. I really identified with the lead character. It wasn't just something on the boob-tube that was scary. I actually felt the story in a strong, psychological way. After the first viewing, I walked out into the backyard and cowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
