POSSESSION KNOWS NO BOUNDS. 

In 1817, a woman casts a spell on the Bell family in Tennessee; a demon consequently possesses the daughter (Rachel Hurd-Wood). One of the classic folklores is brought to the screen as a horror movie, but with a twist that virtually begs you to ignore everything that led up to it. It’s a 19th century version of The Exorcist with far too many dull scenes where bed covers are pulled off and doors slammed; don’t expect to be startled. The cast is far from compelling. 

2006-U.S.-Britain-Canada-Romania. 90 min. Color. Widescreen. Written and directed by Courtney Solomon. Novel: Brent Monahan (”The Bell Witch: An American Haunting”).
