JESSABELLE

Release Date: OUT NOW!

2014 | 15 | DVD A vengeful spirit, possession and voodoo rituals figure in this latest low- budget horror from Blumhouse, the company that previously brought us the likes of Insidious, Sinister and The Purge. Aussie actor Sarah Snook is rather good as Jessie, who returns to her childhood home in the wilds of Louisiana after losing her partner and unborn child in a car crash. There she finds messages recorded on VHS by her tarot- loving mother ( now deceased), and eventually discovers that her family has a terrible secret… Director Kevin Greutart ( a veteran of the Saw franchise) conjures some ominous atmosphere, but until the exposition bomb explodes at the end it’s all a little uneventful.
