Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review James A I enjoyed this movie mainly because of the quality of the acting and how likable the actors were. Other than Henry Thomas, I had never seen anyone in the cast before and I thought everyone did very good work. The scares were enjoyable. The story was interesting except for two problems, which I will get to below. A clever twist that hit about 2/3 of the way through honestly elevated the entire movie for me. By the end, with the exception of the two story problems that I’m about to get to, I thought it was a pretty solid creepy little thriller and I was glad that I stayed through the whole thing. Interestingly, the two-story problems were not about the supernatural elements, but rather about the real world aspects of the characters’ lives. I thought the reasons why the mother and father of the two girls that the movie is centered around separated was rather tempted and flimsy. I understand that many of the societal conditions of the 1960s — which is when the bulk of the movie is set — were very different and a married man may have been ashamed that his stay-at-home wife would want to get a job. But in this movie, such a minor marital squabble was elevated to home-wrecking, Shakespearian-tragedy dimensions, which felt a little silly. And the strange thing is that had the cause of the parent separation been something ordinary like the husband having an affair, then the story might have moved a little faster and worked it bit better. The other story weakness was the decision to introduce a spiritual medium — who had the power to conduct séances and alleviate a lot of suffering — about two thirds of the way through the movie. Considering that the family comes to trust this newcomer with their very lives, it just would’ve been a lot easier to believe had she been involved with them since the beginning, as maybe a housekeeper or a friendly neighbor or something. Those misgivings aside, this was a well-made and visually appealing film with wonderful performances, particularly by the two young leads, real-life sisters Madeleine and Violet McGraw, and Sarah Lind who played their their mother. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Logan D Two young girls decide mommy was wrong to throw away daddy's present, a possessed necklace. Straightforward mostly dull horror film with a couple of inspired scenes of horror. The two girls are played by real life sisters who, along with their mother, were executive producers on the film. Guess no one wanted to step on their toes and instruct them how to properly produce a film. Not recommended.
