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 story of supernatural murder to the screen in this tale of terror starring Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek. The year is 1818 and the Bell family is a quiet clan residing on a remote farm in Red River, TN. A normal, loving family by all accounts, the uneventful lives of the Bell family begin to take a dark turn when strange noises around the farm are followed by 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 Bells' 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, Rovi

    3 of us watched the film and all were confused. (spoiler). We are led to believe at the end all of the 'spiritual' event were caused (at least in part) by the fathers abuse. This makes little sense considering who took the brunt of the spirits terrorizing. Even if they had tied up these loose ends it wasn't much to watch. I will suggest the alternative endings on the disk..better than the theatre version

    I wouldn't rush to see it. Good for a scare or two, but don't get your hopes up.

    I think is a good mix of scaring and how someone's conscience will not let him rest for his doings, the girl's ghost helped her be able to release what she had hidden for so long. I liked the movie.
