Movie Reviews

Empire Magazine - 6/10 by Simon CrookAesthetically authentic and frightening in parts. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem all that different to what has come before it.
Eye for Film - 5/10 by Amber WilkinsonDespite the fact that the scariest thing about this Yorkshire-brewed ghost story are the 70s fashions (avocado kitchen and rum and pep, anyone?), there is something quite charming about the creakiness of it all.
SFX Magazine - 5/10 by Russell LewinNothing particularly surprising or exciting happens, and the straightness with which the subject is treated eventually means everything seizes up.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 4/10 by Marc LeeDirector Pat Holden delivers a few effective shocks but overcooks the climax.
Total Film - 4/10 by Matt GlasbyBesides a couple of decent low-key jolts, hearsay and heroic art direction alone don't add up to t'Exorcist.
The List - 4/10 by Eddie HarrisonSoon gives way to silliness, with the poltergeist fiddling with Sally's Buckeroo and Slinky toys.
Sky Cinema - 4/10 by Rob Daniel[Draws] upon the effective, low-fi scares of Ghostwatch or The Stone Tapes for well-sustained tension.
Guardian - 4/10 by Peter BradshawThis British scary movie is preposterous and cheesy, if occasionally oddly enjoyable.
User Review - 10/10 by Danielle CNot like all the other films on exorcism or ghosts. It's one you can really believe (helps with it being based on a true story I suppose) but it really grabs your attention. It made me jump off the sofa a few times too. One of the best supernatural films I've ever seen.
User Review - 10/10 by Alex WA beautiful film! Really well done, probably the best horror I've seen to date
