A horror thriller well cinematographed and presented based on a true story. The Perron family (Roger Perron and Carolyn Perron with their five daughters) moves into a newly acquired farm house in the countryside which is actually infested with a demon of the landlady (Bathsheba) who was once the owner of the farm house and who also used to practice witch-craft. She commits suicide after trying to offer her own child as a sacrifice in her practice. Her 200 acre cursed farm house is acquired by different people over a period of time but the witch still hangs around in the cellar of the large house driving away whoever occupies the same. The witch possesses Carolyn and tries to kill her children.
This is when Warren and his wife Lorraine (experts in demonology and un-official exorcists) are approached by Perron to exorcise the witch from the house. After employing different techniques Warren and Lorraine finally exorcise the demon from the possessed Carolyn as well as the house successfully, in the nick of the moment when she the later was just about to kill Christine and solve another complicated case.
Director of Photography and Sound Effects should be congratulated for their exemplary special effects and real horror experience. Even the bravest of hearts would pound at least once while watching this film. The director has given the film an ethnic look by fitting everything so well that one gets a feeling that he/she is transported to the times in 1970s and enjoy the horror thrill. Best audio visual effects guaranteed if viewed on a big screen/Blue Ray with 5.1 surround sound system.
Since the story line is not new, the movie is something like Old Wine in a New Bottle, but still enjoyable with entire family..Reminds one of the old time super hit ‘The Exorcist’.
My rating is 4/5
