Synopsis

Monteli family just moved to their new house, which is a real mansion for them. In this moment some strange phenomenon happen: the mirrors from the kitchen start to fall when they do the grace, the objects move by themselves, there is blood coming out of the pipes instead of water. The mother thinks that the house is possessed by a satanic force and asks the city's priest to go there and bless it. Meanwhile, in the whole house the chaos reigns, the whole family starts fighting in a violent way. The father starts hitting his two sons and wife. The latent sexual attraction between the two siblings also starts in this creepy time. Soon their older brother will be possessed by hell's forces and creates a huge menace to his family and the priest.

  • 3.0 Variety There are actually two films meandering in this mess ? one a second-rate horror flick about a family in peril, and another that is a slight variation on the demon-possessed Exorcist theme. Read

Trivia

  • Real story

    Even though the Montelli family is based on the real life DeFeo family, there are a few creative liberties taken. For example, the movie shows the family just moving into the home at the film's beginning and being murdered weeks later, when in real life, the DeFeos had lived in the home for about 10 years prior to the murder.

  • Warren

    Ed and Lorraine Warren, known for 'The Conjuring' saga, helped to write the script.
