exorcism

Directed the definitive exorcism film 'The Exorcist' (1973), which remains the most influential and technically masterful exploration of demonic possession in cinema.

Created 'Van Gogh' and explored spiritual torment and inner demons, while 'Loulou' examines psychological possession through obsessive relationships and moral corruption.

Pioneer of psychological horror whose films like 'The Witch's House' (1913) visualize invisible spiritual forces and demonic influence through expressionist visual language and mounting dread.
