EDITOR’S NOTE: Did you know that Visual Vengeance has a ton of movies on Tubi? It’s true. Check out this Letterboxd list and look for reviews as new movies get added. You can find this movie on Tubi.

No, not the 2012 movie Sinister, but instead the 2011 Steve Sessions film.

Gerard Prewitt (Lucien Eisenach) starts this movie by slowly possessing a woman (Isabelle Stephen) who gets nude in a bathtub, then has her mind and body taken over before being drowned. Then, Prewitt selects his second victim, Emily (Donna Hamblin), a career woman who has no time for her brother Sam (Donny Versiga).

Yet she needs him — and an expert in witchcraft (Luc Bernier) — when she starts to believe that she’s being haunted by the ghost of her mother. The truth is that Prewitt has picked her as his next victim, using the body of a dead serial killer to stalk her and an animated skeleton to chase her from room to room of her small home.

The slow burn nature, as well as the look and feel of this movie point to a film more rooted in the 70s weirdness that is the kind of place that I like to soak in, like that first bath scene without me having to take off my clothes. Also: How about that golden hearse the bad guy drives?

So many reviews claim this is too slow, that nothing really happens, that so much happens in real time, that it’s more about mood than being scary. Were they trying to sell this movie to me? Because in their effort to leave low scores, they somehow made me love this even more.
