Movie Reviews

One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekThe only real mystery about this nineteenth-century Exorcist is what could have possessed Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek to agree to star in it.
New York Daily News - 9/10 by Jack MathewsThere are jolts galore in a movie stuffed with the basic tricks of the evil-spirit trade - banging noises in the attic, slamming doors and windows, spinning clocks, shaking beds, rabid beasts, disappearing children and the occasional moment of eyeball-rolling possession.
Bangor Daily News (Maine) - 9/10 by Christopher SmithMore like "An American Hanging." It slips a big noose of banality around its audience's necks and then tightens the rope until unconsciousness sets in.
Associated Press - 8/10 by David GermainThe impassioned performances make you care what happens to these people, even when the film's noisy overindulgence makes you almost wish their home would collapse on itself like The Fall of the House of Usher.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenHistory comes alive in a tale about the only American certified to have died because of a ghost.
New York Observer - 7/10 by Rex ReedCall it The Exorcist Meets Poltergeist, and head for the shelves at Blockbuster, where it will undoubtedly turn up soon.
Eye for Film - 7/10 by Anton Bitelit becomes haunted by the unwelcome presence of heavy-handedness, making it seem more like a busy domestic melodrama (with a ghost) than a truly unnerving chiller.
ComingSoon.net - 6/10 by Edward DouglasThe ending is handled so poorly that you forget how much you might have enjoyed the rest of the movie.
ColeSmithey.com - 6/10 by Cole SmitheyThe frights are few and the moment of horrific revelation is a big letdown in writer/director Courtney Solomon's cinematic treatment of Brent Monahan's novel "The Bell Witch: An American Haunting."
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 6/10 by John BeifussThe impact of the old-school effects is negated by Solomon's all too contemporary stylistic overkill: Sourceless but loud 'scary' noises accompany jump cuts and whip pans, and the camera usually appears more agitated than the Bells...
