The Exorcist.
The reason this movie is scary at all is because it was filmed by a documentarian (Billy Friedkin) in a documentary style for the first half of the film, which sets the stage ever so believably. Very serious, very factual. It wasn't the typical horror-genre crap of a bunch of lost dumb kids in the woods being killed by the boogey man. It comes off as very realistic fiction of some privileged wealthy white people (for whom nothing is ever supposed to go wrong) now have the goddamed devil inside of their daughter(!)
