is The Witch, this era's Exorcist?

I thought last years The Witch was the most unsettling movie for a long, long, time, probably since the original Blair Witch.
Alright it isn't as scary as The Exorcist or in the same league in many other ways but I think its the nearest we are going to get to a genuinely scar horror movie in todays PG 13 era.
Most horror made now is very disappointing.
Ive liked very few Horrors in the last 20 years.

I did like The Blair Witch Project, The Exorcism of Emily Rose and The Fourth Kind.
The original Paranormal Activity was quite good but far from great.
I would like to see a true to the book version of The Amityville horror, unlike the abysmal 2005 version which had nothing from the book in it and shouldn't really have been called The Amityville Horror, because in all honesty, it wasn't!
Theres so much terrifying stuff in that book that would make an awesome film if one that someone decides to do a truthful adaption,
Now that would be an extremely scary film, if it was made for adults and not the PG 13 jump scare crowd.
I hope it happens one day!
