This is a judgement free zone, Skinamarink is a perfectly acceptable answer

Edit: we're getting pretty decent participation so I'll selfishly ask, what's your scariest demon slash possession slash exorcism movie? I seen them most!

    Hm, this is hard. I didn't think Midsommar was that scary (disturbing, disgusting, uncomfortable but not scary, not terrifying) but I was pretty freaked out by the opening triple murder-suicide. I found parts of Hereditary pretty scary, and others parts disturbing, but by the end I was more invested in the weird demon/witch lore than I was frightened.

    One of the most intense reactions I've ever had to a movie was actually Uncut Gems. There was a moment, sitting in the theater, where I felt like I was on the verge of a panic attack (and I am not a person who has panic attacks. I had one as a little kid, but never since).

    I think I might have to go with the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

        When I watched it with my mom (my rewatch) like 20mins from the end she paused the movie and demanded me to tell her how it ended because it's so stress-inducing.

      So true about uncut gems. Had me buzzing when the movie was finished, possibly also had the most intense reaction ever to that
