A fascinating and intelligent film

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2003)

This film looks dated but being filmed in a typical 1970s style and setting its not suprising, somehow very little from that decade transfers well to whatever decade we are currently in or approaching.This doesnt really matter for the film is well acted and the story well told, it builds a suspensefull atmosphere of foreboding, a feeling of an evil within the young girl, this is at its simplest a straight fight between good and evil,but also poses questions of spirituality the existance or not of god the devil and an afterlife? i didnt find it scary but did find it a rivetting and sometimes macarbre tale, the love of a mother for her desperately sick and dangerous child is also a strong statement in the film, very well worth watching, much better than many of the popular slasher movies so prevalent and repetitive in recent years.
