A genre of film. Films depicting mysterious and mysterious phenomena such as supernatural phenomena and paranormal powers. Occult films have been around since the early days of film, but they became popular after Polanski's American film Rosemary's Baby (1968) and W. Friedkin's The Exorcist in 1973, and were named occult films. Since then, hit films such as R. Donner's The Omen (1976) and T. Hooper's Poltergeist (1982) have appeared, and many of them have been made into series. Early films had a strong religious flavor, featuring demons and spirits, and many were made in the 1970s, a time of social turmoil and growing interest in the unknowable, making full use of special effects (SFX), which were becoming popular at the time.
