Top 10 Possession/Haunting Films By WVM
3. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
One of the scariest exorcism movies, with a lot of the most intense possession sequences ever committed to film. Some of the contortions Emily makes are so disturbing, the imagery lasts with you for a while after viewing. I love the courtroom scenes, which add to the realism of the possibilities that the events shown in this film actually happened. The struggle between the mundane explanations of Emily’s affliction to otherworldly reasonings presented bring a lot of tension to the film overall. Adding to all of this is the actress that played Emily, Jennifer Carpenter, who did an amazing job and has the perfect look for the role.
A coven forms among counselors in exclusive new images from Camp, a witchy coming-of-age story from Dark Sky Films.
The new feature from writer-director Avalon Fast (Honeycomb, The Serpent’s Skin) releases on June 26 in select US theaters, with a New York Theatrical Premiere at the IFC Center with Fast in attendance for the opening weekend.
In Camp, “Emily is the root cause of two devastating tragedies very early in her life, and she feels the weight of these accidents as though cursed. At her father’s suggestion, she takes a position at a summer camp for troubled youth to ease her guilt. When Emily arrives, she is welcomed by the other counselors, who accept her as she is and surround her with peace and forgiveness.
“Just as Emily begins to believe in a new kind of life, she starts to hear a voice whispering from deep in the woods — one that urges her to go home, and one that may be impossible to ignore.”
The film stars Zola Grimmer in her screen debut alongside Alice Wordsworth, Cherry Moore, Lea Rose Sebastianis (Castration Movie Part 1 & 2, In A Violent Nature), Ella Reece, Austyn Van de Kamp (This Too Shall Pass), Sophie Bawks-Smith (Honeycomb), Izza Jarvis, and Aiden Laudersmith.
Taylor Nodrick, Jacob Glickman, Jackie De Niverville, Martin Cadieux-Rouillard, and Maya Cadieux-Rouillard produce, with Paul Cadieux, Milan Chakraborty, Peter Kuplowsky, Michael Peterson, and Sanjay M Sharma serving as executive producers.
“Like its main character, Camp requires the viewer to give itself over to the experience. If you’re on its wavelength, it will suck you into a hypnagogic limbo that exists in the space between dream and reality; adolescence and adulthood; grief and acceptance,” our review writes.
