Something Evil (1972 TV Movie)
7/10
Steven Spielberg's haunted farm house flick.
9 July 2009
A couple from New York move with their two children to a run-down farm house in Pennsylvania.Soon after moving Margery(Sandy Dennis),a housewife/painter begins to experience various unsettling events;she sees the caretaker sprinkling the blood of a slaughtered chicken in the fields. She hears a baby crying in the barn late at night,the sound emanating from an old wood stove.Two guests at a party that the couple throws are killed in a mysterious accident.Eventually with the help of a new friend she begins to believe that her home may be inhabited by a devil and that she is it's target for possession.Her husband played by Darren McGavin of "The Night Stalker" fame doesn't believe her and the supernatural events escalate..."Something Evil" does not feature any blood and the devil force is unseen.The film is pretty creepy with subtle frights and all around solid acting.7 out of 10.
