Jacobs Ladder is one of those movies I keep intending to see but always forget when I'm trying to think of something to rent. Thanks for the suggestion.
I should be clear I guess by what I mean. I've seen many films that have seriously scared me. Dancer in the Dark with Bjork is one of the most screwed up things I've ever seen. But it's hardly "horror". And I'm still working up the fortitude to find a copy of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer because I know it'll leave a bad taste for weeks.
Possesion seems to scare a lot of people. I've never focused on it myself but I understand the sentiment. The thing I always loved about the Evil Dead films is how Ash accepts the situation and then does everything to survive. In Evil Dead II when he's being chased through the house and crawls inside the wall to escape.... that's intense.
