A classic horror film that, after nearly 40 years, still has the power to frighten us. Busy single mom and famous actress Chris MacNeil (Burstyn) realizes her daughter may be hosting an uninvited guest in the form of demonic possession – which, you know, is just going to be weird on the first day of school. 122 minutes. Rated R.

Directed by Nicolas Roeg. Starring Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland.
A young couple trying to cope with the loss of their child encounters two elderly sisters – one of whom brings them word from beyond the grave. 110 minutes. Unrated.
When children go bad, the usual suspects in their downfall are rounded up: parents, genetics, family environment, television, video games, the education system. But sometimes the reason a kid goes rogue just can’t be pinned down. Is Junior wreaking havoc because of alien intervention or some evil force – or is it really too many sugary snacks?

Directed by Roman Polanski. Starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon.
Guy and Rosemary Woodhouse are having a blessed event, except their neighbors seem to be a tad too involved in the pregnancy. When Rosemary’s pangs of paranoia become too much to bear, she starts looking for answers…and finds them. 136 minutes. Unrated.
