Joel Anderson directed this 2008 hyper-realistic cinematographic feature. The cast relied heavily on improvisation for this mockumentary-style haunting. When a family begins to experience some paranormal events following the death of their daughter, they begin to learn some secrets about her life and the lives of the people around them. 

The Exorcist

The Exorcist was one of the first true horror movies that had ever been made. The craziest thing about this movie is that it is actually based on a true story, although it was dramatized a little bit for the sake of the plot. The Exorcist is about the last official catholic exorcism that had been conducted on a young man who was referred to as "Roland Doe" because nobody knew who he was.
