Aliens/parasites:
The Hidden (1987)
Dreamcatcher (2003)
Slither (2006)
The Faculty (1998)
Demons/possession:
Event Horizon (1997)
Fallen (1998)
Respire (2011)
The parasite infestation theme is in about a dozen X-Files episodes. Also many parasite-themed episodes in Stargate SG-1 since the TV series is about the parasitic Goa'uld. I'll list them for you if you want.

Thanks for the tips! I think going into several dozen episodes of X-Files and Stargate SG-1 would be a bit overkill for the project I have in mind, but I'll definitely have a look at the movies.

But the X-Files ones about parasites are spot-on what you're looking for. I can link to the Wiki pages describing the episodes if you want because I remember most of them (just not the episode #) off the top of my head, and they were excellent. Same for Stargate SG-1.
