The exorcist film is set in an isolated house, which is common in psychological/supernatural horror films. For example, in the Sinister and the Conjuring, they are both set in an isolated house which is quite big.It is a modern house which appears to be located in a town but slightly isolated away from the rest of the town as it is placed right on the corner of a long street. An isolated house is a convention of the horror genre and it is effective because it makes the shots become more eerie and it gives the impression to the audience that no one will be there to help them, making the film more scary and horrific.
Throughout the film, there is also a church area which connotes spirits and ghosts because around the church area there is usually a graveyard. This convention of horror films is very effectives because it means the audience may become more scared due to when they see a graveyard, they normally associate it with death.
