Jessabelle





Cast: Sarah Snook(Jessie Laurent), Mark Webber(Preston), David Andrews(Dad), Joelle Carter(Mother),Amber Stevens(Jessabelle)
Director: Kevin Greutert
Genre: Horror, Thriller


Not a bad watch. First half of the movie does the job to scare the hell out of you!



You may look forward to:

  • The first half of the movie, pretty creepy. What makes it more creepy is the house she lives in, all alone. The ambiance and the context together certainly does give you many spine chilling moments from the movie
  • Sarah Snook does a very good job, firstly being handicapped, secondly the way she is shown dealing with the many death's around her, and unreasonable father and weird circumstances, over that fighting the unknown presence in the house. Beautifully portrayed helplessness
  • Mark Webber has a decent role, helping his friend and trying to rescue her from the ill happenings
  • Joelle Carter and Amber Stevens, were the questionable spooky characters of the movie. As the story unfolds, their roles becomes more clear and they certainly startle you
  • David Andrews does a good job of a grumpy old man




What you can sleep over:

The way the movie ends is a little weird. After an awesome build up, i expected a lot more to the movie. Not that the end is bad, but could have been concluded a lot better



The dampeners you should be aware of:

The second half and the unnecessary love angle of Jessabelle falling for Preston was actually funny :) The spooky roles lost its horror charm and reduced down the level of excitement to a larger extent





My Rating: 2.5/5
