Even the famous The Exorcist (1973) is pretty boring to be honest, and relies too much on the make up and special effects for shock value

Definitely strong candidates. I can only recall one possession/ exorcist movie that I genuinely liked. I think movies like The Exorcist, Amityville Horror, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose was boring as hell. Also, Jason Goes to Hell and Nightmare on Elm Street 2 were stupid, gross, and poorly made.

Presumably, it depends on whether or not you think possession is a real thing in the real world or not. I could see it being way scarier if you see it as something that could happen to you or someone you know and care about, or it could just come across as being really goofy if you don't think it's a real thing.
It probably also helps if you're capable of feeling bad for the girl as a victim or her mother having to deal with the horror of this terrible thing happening to her child (which might even be more powerful if you yourself are a parent and are being confronted by the idea of a parent being helpless to protect their own child). FrozenBananas posted... Even the famous The Exorcist (1973) is pretty boring to be honest, and relies too much on the make up and special effects for shock value It's one of those "It was scarier at the time" sort of movies, just because audiences at the time had never really seen anything like it. Modern audiences are way more jaded, way more experienced with this style of film ( https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OnceOriginalNowCommon ), way more atheist, way less likely to give a crap about the little girl or her mom's suffering because empathy is rapidly becoming a lost art. And older suspense-driven movies in general don't work as well today because people's attention spans are so much shorter than they used to be. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

The problem with possession films (and many other types of horror films) is that the rules are often unclear with the villain's powers. It's hard for me to be afraid when I'm constantly analyzing what a villain is capable of, and if it becomes clear that "reality bending" is the power, I mentally check out, because that's the dumbest shit.

@ParanoidObsessive fair point, i don't really care much about the religious aspect and if i have children i certainly don't know about them. i dunno though, still feels like this particular type of movie seems to be more plagued with bad writing and cheese than the rest.
Venixon posted... @Nade_Duck How would you rank the horror genres?hell if i know, but i love aliens, lovecraft, and cronenberg style body horror. psychological stuff like the babadook can be really freaking good. zombies are overplayed as hell but i still have a soft spot for a lot of those movies too. if they could make a good silent hill movie that'd probably be my favorite thing ever. not sure what my whole top 10 would be but the thing would be number 1 and alien and 28 days later would be up high somewhere. --- http://i.imgur.com/ElACjJD.gifv "Most of the time, I have a whole lot more sperm inside me than most women do." - adjl ...
