I rented Emily Rose one night. I lived alone, went out and got several movies, Emily Rose being one of them, a six pack of beer and some Twizzlers, Tortilla chips and Salsa, came back and popped it in the DVD. I could not watch it. Not after the Exorcist. I watched the lame romantic comedy instead. Then fell asleep to Conan O'Brien. Didn't want the dark force in my apartment, lol. So, I say the Exorcist.

Krypto, I 've seen Poltergeist, Evil Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Freddie, Jason, Michael Myers, and their Godfather Norman Bates. None of those comes close to the Exorcist. I even laughed at some of them. But, not that one. Brrrrr. No way.

Gigi, I think you hit the nail on the head. The others are just more lame horror flicks. But this one, evil. One of a kind. Nothing was made before or after that even comes close to capturing on film what this one did, nor evoking the emotional response, nor fear. This is it. It was evil. I won't have it in my house, either. And I will not watch it, ever again.

im surprised at myself for even looking at this question when i saw it
i never went to watch it when it first came out but i did go and watch it at a midnight matinee some years later....... being a bit brave and telling myself that it was just another horror movie
there is just something about that film ........the exorcist is by far the most evil film ever made
i wish i had never watched it, i wont even have a copy of it in my house

Conan is way scarier. You will Obey Conan in the future.
But being serious. The Shining is probably scarier than the Exorcist. Movies like the Excorcist start off hot, but the more they bombard you with the graffic depictions the quicker they lose their heat. Kubricks Shining to me is just a masterpiece because it maintains a growing sense of impending dread throughout the movie that climaxes at just the right time after your senses have been thoroughly assaulted throughout.
Among my other personal favorites are Rosemary's Baby, The Thing, Burnt Offerings(Which has a disturbing creeping dread about it like the Shining) Halloween and Phantasm and the Exorcist.

No, Jaws became the scariest action picture ever made. I lived close to the sea then and characteristic on no account, ever been returned interior the water via fact that then. on the different hand, when I observed the Exorcist I definitely did sleep with the lights on for just about 2 an prolonged time. No lie. So, you determine. it rather is a tie for me.

I agree with you. I saw it the first day it came out. I was totally unprepared for the mind f**k. I thought I, at 17 seen all the scare that hollywood could muster. The evil in that movie at the time was beyond my imagination. I could not sleep or be alone for along time. Just the radio commercial with that jingle would send real fear right through me. I would NEVER have a Ouji board in my house.

I can't agree, strangely Emily Rose wasn't scary and truly the Exorcist is pretty intense in places, but I don't know that I would call it the very scariest.

Poltergeist and Evil Dead were the scariest movies in their time, too. U might enjoy scaring urself with them, too. Good luck.

I think that the movie where Kathy Bates gets naked in the hot tub with Jack Nicholson is the scariest movie that I've ever seen.

oh yes, after the exorcist, other horror movies were not as scary
in fact, you could try renting 'evil dead ' the first one not the sequels, it is just as scary or the atmostpheric 'legend of hell house'
that too is an excellent horror movie
