Directed by Courtney Solomon
The wind whispers ominous warnings of death before a malevolent entity arrives to claim the life of a young girl as director Courtney Solomon brings author Brent Monahan's chilling, fact-based tale of supernatural murder to the screen in this tale of terror starring Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek. The year was 1818 and the Bell family was a quiet clan residing on a remote farm in Red River, Tennessee. A normal, loving family by all accounts, the uneventful lives of the Bell family began to take a dark turn when strange noises around the farm preceded the arrival of a black wolf with piercing yellow eyes said to strike unspeakable fear into the very soul of all who encounter it. As the sadistic spirit singles out the youngest daughter of the Bell family for torment and her frightened parents search frantically for a rational explanation to the chilling events unfolding in their once happy home, an eerie, disembodied voice promises death from beyond the grave. With the struggle rapidly turning violent and the Bell's desperate prayers for mercy going unanswered time and again, the shocking murder that followed would prove the only case in recorded American history where the death of a human being was directly attributed to an attack by an evil entity or spirit. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

When the film came out I was a bit skeptical because when films are made based on real life events, they don't always picture it correctly. Unfortuna " [More]

"I can't believe more people didn't like this movie! At first I was skeptical because it started out so slow & took a while to get going but turned out to be a good movie. Totally believable, well made, by far, the best true story I've seen - not ever - but lately. I'm absolutely astonished that no-one liked this movie! I wouldn't recommend watching this movie alone at night! " [More]

"Of course there are a LOT of movies out there that try to follow the events as closely as possible, they may make it a little more exciting because of Hollywood, but there are some stories that really do come close to true. The Exocsim of Emily Rose was pretty close to a famous court case (the side story " [More]
