Long Story Short?
This is bar far the best devil worship / cult film you with find, some of the best affects you will find.
Very eerie at times but also very strong, you wont find your self bored or wanting to turn off.
The Omen
I think pretty much anyone who watches films will or have of heard of The Omen.
But a few of you might of not seen it, i know allot of people treat it as a "horror" classic but don't take
away any of the satanic or hellish references.
The Plot?
The Plot?
Robert Thron becomes the ambassador to Great Britain he and his family move from Rome to London, where they set themselves up in a dwelling that's more a palace than a mere mansion, and hes wife Cathy hires a local girl named Holly to serve as a governess to young Damien (their son). Everything seems great in Thornland until the boy's fifth birthday. That afternoon, right in the middle of the birthday party, Holly hangs herself from the roof of the mansion after yelling happily to Damien. Photographer Keith Jennings accounts for only a small part of the paparazzi presence at the event, and the nanny's startlingly public suicide is all over the papers within 24 hours.
Reporters aren't the only ones who start following Thorn around after that, however. A day or two later, a priest from Rome who calls himself Father Brennan comes to see Robert at work with what sounds at first to be blackmail on his mind. Vehemently urging Thorn to accept Christ drink His blood, Brennan goes on to say that he was at that hospital five years before, and that while he was there, he saw the mother of Roberts child. And make no mistake, Brennan knows very well that Cathy Thorn is not Damien's real mother. Thorn has the embassy security guards throw Brennan out before he can finish telling Robert just who the mother was. But regardless, the ambassador goes home that evening a troubled man. Keith Jennings is troubled, too. He happened to snap a few pictures of Brennan on his way out, and upon developing them, he notices a strange dark streak transfixing the priest's body in each one a streak remarkably like the one that seems to encircle Holly's neck in the photo Jennings took shortly before she hung herself.
More and more strange and dark things happen around the Thorn family. And a series of circumstance bring everything together at the end of the film.
Long Story Short?
This film is chilling and stunning, it has one of the best film scores in years, a true classic for horror fans and
and fans of films involving the occult.
The Exorcist
I think everyone knows this film for how manys times its been used as reference in other films or in comdey skecths, even so you can still wacth this film and over the years it will never stop being one of the strongest films in cinema history.
The Plot?
In the central storyline, Chris MacNeil, an actress filming in Georgetown, notices dramatic and dangerous changes in the behavior of her 12-year-old daughter Regan MacNeil. Regan first has a seizure, then exhibits strange, unnatural powers, including levitation and great strength. She often curses and blasphemes in a demonic male voice. At first, Chris believes that Regan's changes are related to the trauma of Chris's recent divorce, but doctors suspect a lesion in her brain. Regan is forced to endure a series of unpleasant medical tests.
When X-rays show nothing out of the ordinary, a doctor advises that Regan be taken to a psychiatrist, whom she assaults. Paranormal occurrences continue to surround the MacNeil household, including a violently shaking bed, strange noises and unexplained movements.

Chris MacNeil finds out that a exorcism is the only escape for the Daugher, and that its a matter of life or death.
