In 1818, the family began to experience disturbances on their property. At first, slight, unexplained noises, but the spirit began to grow, becoming aggressive and singling out the father, John, and his only daughter Betsy. The family desperately searched for the cause of the spirit in the hope of finding a way of defeating it, but the spirit continued its brutal assault. It developed voicesand began speaking to the family, but refusing to say why it was there. Then, finally it pronounced a death sentence on John. Within a year, he was dead. Sho rtly, thereafter, the spirit left the family in peace, but never the same. It would not be until years later that we would be taken back to the terrible night the spirit was born and find out the horrific truth about its nature and origin... (official distributor synopsis)

English Awfully boring. A ghost wandering in a room for a minute several times, everyone looking around in confusion, and that’s it. And the surprising twist couldn’t be any more stupid. This is not for me. ()

English Man, that was weak. It’s an interesting subject, it has Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek.... That’s really too bad. Forget about any atmosphere (except for the unintentionally funny one) and be prepared for this horror (although relatively short) to get pretty damn long after half an hour and remain just as boring and empty until the end. I give one star for the nice cinematography (like the scene with the black wolf or whatever the dog was) and for Sutherland's presence. That's all I'm gonna give it, regardless of who wants to haunt me. ()
