MCT:January 18, 2008I'd forgotten all about this until I was looking up a list of made-for-TV horror movies on another website. This was apparently Steven Spielberg's last TV movie before he went on to direct "Jaws" and in many ways is a scarier prototype for his later "Poltergeist".
It seemed to get shown on ITV in the UK at least twice a year in the 1980s. Now that I've discovered the Steven Spielberg connection, I can understand its longevity.
Sandy Dennis looks gorgeous in it. It's a shame she died before making a bigger impact on the film world.
Darren McGavin of "Kolchak, the Nightstalker" fame is in it too but mercifully he doesn't get that much time on screen.
The plot description on Flixster is slightly wrong. All the action really centres around the barn and the couple's little boy. It's all very supernatural; not quite a ghost story and not quite just a witchcraft story either. It's something different... it's "Something Evil"!
Unlike modern horrors, it's actually scary too!
If you haven't ever seen it, this is something you should track down. I think there is a special edition DVD out there somewhere but it must be quite rare as I've never seen one for sale ever.
