GL84 After moving into a new house, a family becomes convinced they are being haunted by malevolent spirits and turn to professional demon-hunters who must find a way of dealing with them once proved true.On the whole this is quite a lame and overall low-end haunted house effort. This here is mostly based around the fact that the film's origins give away its intensity, relying more on scenarios and tactics that are generally more acceptable to viewers without really going for the more traditional scares here. Focusing here on others claiming they heard foul language and voices throughout the house, listening to voices from inside their pillows or the walls as well as manipulating subjects around the room as the main form of supernatural activity here are really just not that scary here as these scenes are somewhat normal happenings in a house that are more useful as secondary tactics rather than the main focus. It lends the family into being really jumpy and quick to conclusions based on just a few random incidents that don't really warrant the kind of extreme reaction they undertake here, and that there's a rather repetitive angle that comes off here of them crying out for help after the incidents only for help to be denied and the pattern continues onward because of the lack of attention paid to their story. As well, the special effects here for the ghosts are really primitive and fake-looking, which detracts a bit from their presence with the misshapen black blobs used here for the ghosts being quite bad and lame. The finale is a bit of a cheat as well by cutting to the scrolling text instead of letting the action play out the way it would've been featured on-camera. That makes the fact that the later haunting throughout the house all come off as really entertaining and creepy, much more so than the initial encounters and being quite chilling as well. The tactics of with the pillows in their bedroom amplifying demonic whispers, the pounding footsteps and the levitating drawers in some rather intense scenes as well as the other intense confrontations throughout here that movie it up, though the main scenes here that move this one up are rather enjoyable. The first big scene here is the supernaturally-themed rape scene by the hallucinogenic ghost which finally gets the point across about the haunting, and the scene of the haunting being altered to the passersby on the street which is due to the loud, crazy sequence that certainly allows for the crowd on the street to see everything that's happening. Otherwise, there's not much else to this one.Rated R: Language, a Rape and Mild Violence.

jenowl176 I have seen this film its very creepy great haunting story and its suppose also to be a true story very unsettling that the church did not help them when they were practicing Christians they let them down they had to rely on the community for help don't know how much was Dramatised but I'm sure it is documented somewhere in the Parasycology community I was glued to it and thought the acting good she was very good at playing Janet Smurl and why is it that you can see it on you tube but not get on DVD you can get most things now come on someone in the Know get it on DVD people will buy it in droves there are lots of TV movies you can buy why not this one

Neil Doyle Not only is this a weak haunted house story (although based on a true life story), but the acting and direction is downright foolish and unconvincing. The special effects are possibly the worst feature of all, with the demons completely lacking any sort of evil presence and simply shapeless blobs.You have to wonder how someone like DIANE BAKER got talked into doing this turkey. She's just one of a series of people who try to rid the house of demons at the request of homeowners JEFFREY DeMUNN and SALLY KIRKLAND. Kirkland's awkward handling of cigarettes, together with her over-the-top performance, is distracting, to say the least. Of all the adults in the cast, DeMunn is the most competent.But nothing happens that hasn't been featured in a dozen other stories about haunted houses in normal looking neighborhoods. This shows its made-for-TV origins in every scene and compares unfavorably to many other stories told on any number of cable stations dealing with real tales of haunted homes.Not recommended--nor does it have a satisfying ending--merely a message on the screen that a few years later a better exorcism was sanctioned by the Catholic Church and this time it was successful.

Horrorible_Horror_Films I hate this family, all of them. Its like they were dressed like little house on the prarie but lived in the suburbs. I think the ghost lived in the fathers mustache. This is great bored weekend viewing. Its not scary at all, unless your 7 years old or something. Honestly, if I saw a big blob floating in my house I wouldn't be that scared, I'd just move and use the blob as a selling point. This has to be the most vapid family ever, they really look like a group of people that have never had fun, ever. This movie needed more sex and violence, considering its filled with every ghost movie cliché, its they least they could do. Oh well.
