Absolutely agree. “The Exorcist.” Incredible film.
The horror genre is my guilty pleasure. My Netflix queue is almost all filled with horror films. I owned a haunted house and could tell you stories... I have no doubt in a realm beyond death, none. Exorcists is the standard by which good horror is judged. I could list my 10 but take too long. A really good one in my top 10, Heredity. The script is tight, visuals chilling, the creeping horror that crescendos. It’s a great movie by a journeyman director. I also like the James Wan\Scarehouse stuff like The Conjuring series and Insidious.
