Jessabelle "Jessie" Laurent is pregnant and accepts to move to the house of her boyfriend to raise a family of their own. However they have a car accident where her boyfriend and her baby die. Jessie is seriously wounded and trapped to a wheelchair, and the direction of the hospital asks her to contact her estranged father to help her. Leon Laurent brings his daughter to his house in Louisiana and lodges her in her mother's room. Jessie snoops around the room and finds a videotape where her mother Kate Laurent is pregnant and reads tarot cards to her. She tells that Jessie would never left Louisiana; she is attracted by water; and another woman wants her out of the house. However Leon arrives and destroys the tape. On the next morning, Jessie watches another videotape when her father is out of the house, and her mother talks about the man that had taught her to read cards, Moses. Jessie is haunted by the ghost of a woman and her father discovers the two other videotapes she has hidden. When he tries to destroy them, something happens to him and he is burnt to death trapped in a shed. During the funeral, Jessie meets her high-school friend Preston Sanders (Mark Webber), who is unhappily married. Preston decides to help Jessie after watching the videotapes. Who might be haunting Jessie?

| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerGhosts, nightmares and Voodoo -- that's horrortainment to me, and 'Jessabelle' passes the test. |
| The Blogging BansheeMolly HeneryIf you're looking for a classic ghost story that also has a unique storyline, this is the movie for you. It had all the elements of a great ghost story, but it also added a little something extra with the voodoo. |
| Entertainment WeeklyClark CollisWhile this Blumhouse production may be a less ruthlessly efficient scream machine than, say, its corporate sibling "Ouija," it is much more atmospheric and benefits from a winning central performance from Snook. |
| About.comMark H. HarrisSnook excels in the lead role, her charismatic, wide-eyed, down-to-earth appeal reminiscent of fellow redhead Emma Stone. |
| Consequence of SoundAdriane NeuenschwanderI can't remember the last time I've seen a movie go off the rails as quickly as Jessabelle. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeThere isn’t a single jump scare in this thing. On the other hand, it would be nice if Jessabelle tried a little harder. |
| Real Queen of HorrorZena DixonIt's somewhat of a slow-burn psychological horror film with plenty of creativity. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersAn honest, gentle performance by Sarah Snook is not enough to recommend this clichéd ghost story. |
| CineVueMartyn ConterioThe film comes off like a nightmare version of Who Do You Think You Are? |
| TheFrightFile.comDustin PutmanAn alternately kooky, effectively low-key chiller worth seeing. |
