Any other films like this about occults?


Can anyone recommend some films to me about occults and witches/satanism? I've seen The Lords of Salem but I can't think of many others ones aside from Suspiria.

Rosemary's Baby.
Little Witches.
Simon, King of the Witches.
The Craft.
Season of the Witch ( the old version, think it came out in the 70s)
Inferno/Mother of Tears ( if you like Suspira, check those out)
The Devil Rides Out
The Wicker Man (70s version)
Satanis
Leaves from Satan's Notebook.
To The Devil A Daughter.
All the Omen movies.
Hocus Pocus ( it is a family movie, but I love the scene where they think a neighborhood guy is the devil)
The Devils (Ken Russell..actually Gothic and Lair of the White Worm have a certain occult vibe to them)
The Evil Dead trilogy (has occult Lovecraft elements)
The Witches' Mirror
Sorceress ( it is more sympathetic, but I thought I would add it, it is a French film)
Burn, Witch, Burn
I Married a Witch (romantic comedy)
Bell Book and Candle (rom com)
The Mists of Avalon
Practical Magic (cheesy, but has some dark moments)

Will this help? :)

Also really enjoyed End of the Line, The Wicker Man (original), and on V/H/S 2 - Safe Haven was pretty creepy.

Good one, right there.

Come at the king, you best not miss.

There are a number of films that expose the satanism thing. "Eyes Wide Shut" comes to mind.

Was that scene in EWS satanic in nature? It did seem like a cult in that house, but i don't remember any pentagrams or horned statues or anything satanic.

Society. Top film.

This film certainly has many influences and brings to mind such films as Suspiria because of the very sinister tone of the film in the first half and the disturbing presence of the butch looking casting director. Also Eyes Wide Shut, Rosemary's Baby.. obviously. I would also mention The Stepford Wives with regard to the whole theme of her transformation into some cold heratless version of herself. And more recently Beyond the Black Rainbow a dark and very surreal film that touches on a similar theme.

Not really a horror, but Sound of My Voice

A recent good one is Kill List.

I saw this movie from a recommendation from the movie The Neon Demon board. The movie isn't out yet but the trailer seems similar to this but maybe better. Just a heads up!
