What I do find scary about it is that it deals with the biblical version of the supernatural, which a lot of people actually believe in. So I can imagine that the movie struck quite a nerve and probably still does.
For me it was scary for the longest time because my mother made the mistake of taking me with her to see that as a little child.
(Here's what you can take from that- A) I'm old, and B) as an only child my mom used to take me to see EVERYTHING! That's how I ended up seeing this, Carrie, Jaws, The Omen, Star Wars, etc.)
So for me as a kid that was horrifying and it stayed with me for a while. But as an adult I decided to make a conscious effort to get over it, so I rented it and watched it all alone in a the dark. Not a bad movie, still scary, but not as much as I'd built it up to be. Another one I did that with Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the original. Same experience.
Now I like scary movies, but I prefer truly scary movies where the director is smart enough to use film language to create fear(Hereditary, The Witch, The Babbadook, Gretl and Hansel, etc.), as opposed to bloody gore, which does nothing for me and I see as immature.
