The amount of theoretical work devoted to demonic possession horror films has been limited in comparison to its counterpart, the slasher. In an attempt to track the demonic possession sub-genre and its changes-or lack thereof-in this thesis I analyze the The Exorcist, The Last Exorcism, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Possession of Hannah Grace, Evil Dead, and lastly, Jennifer's Body. Since little critical work has been done on this sub-genre, I use criticism of slasher movies to conclude that there has been little to no progression of the demonic possession film. Jennifer's Body is not the latest demonic possession film discussed in this thesis but it is the only one that took the model The Exorcist created and twisted it to produce a progressive take on the genre. The renewed popularity of the slasher sub-genre in recent years and the related decline of demonic possession films, which were once the top sub-genre of horror in movie theaters, suggests that something has to change for demonic possession films to succeed again. I argue that the sub-genre needs to embrace what Jennifer's Body attempted, and allow women to be their own saviors instead of showing possession as a punishment for a woman's "shortcomings." Additionally, the sub-genre should open itself up and place men in the position of the possessed and allow them to have the same emotions as the possessed woman-primal terror, sorrow, and fear.
