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.
