It didn't scare me the first time I saw it, but I feel its a great movie.
My wife on the other hand is a pretty devout Catholic and refuses to watch it (but has seen parts by accident lol).
I think your level of religion (especially if you're Catholic) has something to do with how scary the posession scenario is. Thoughts of Religion/God/Satan are rather personal things close to people's hearts for the most part. This movie exploits those fears. The closest those things are to your heart, the more exploitave the film is to that individual. If you're an Atheist, this movie is probably laughable. If all you know is Catholicism, it could be the scariest thing you've ever seen.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Yours may vary.
