- 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.Another must see before you die, to me this is not a horror film and it did not scare me like it did for most people. I feel this is a film that shows us that evil exists in the world.

- DirectorMichael HanekeStarsSusanne LotharUlrich MüheArno FrischTwo violent young men take a mother, father, and son hostage in their vacation cabin and force them to play sadistic "games" with one another for their own amusement.I prefer the original which is hard to find since the American remake (which is good but not exceptional like the original) but this is a very twisted and crazy film but it's one that you can't take your eyes off it.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsAlison LohmanJustin LongRuth LivierA loan officer who evicts an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.Really disturbing...but in psychological way
