- DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsEllen BurstynMax von SydowLinda BlairWhen a young girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.The mother of all exorcism movies, everyone tries to copy it, very very few even comes close!
- DirectorWilliam Peter BlattyStarsGeorge C. ScottEd FlandersBrad DourifA police lieutenant uncovers more than he bargained for as his investigation of a series of murders, which have all the hallmarks of the deceased Gemini serial killer, leads him to question the patients of a psychiatric ward.The sequel, almost as good. A bit different, a bit more of a murder/mystery than horror.
- DirectorScott DerricksonStarsLaura LinneyTom WilkinsonShohreh AghdashlooA lawyer takes on a negligent homicide case involving a priest who performed an exorcism on a young girl.Superb!! Truly horrifying. I was glued to the screen the whole time. The "devilry" in the movie is awesome, a bit more subtle than The Exorcist. The greatest part was that you could believe the devilry or discard it as bogus.
- DirectorRenny HarlinStarsStellan SkarsgårdIzabella ScorupcoJames D'ArcyIn 1947, having abandoned his faith, Father Merrin joins an archaeological excavation in Kenya, where an ancient church has been unearthed and something much older waits to be awoken.The origins of Father Merrin. Excellent, but not as good as its predecessors. More of a typical horror movie.
