Critics Consensus: Jessabelle hints at a bright future for star Sarah Snook, but clouds her performance with a cliched -- and tasteless -- storyline.

Reviews

Behind The Lens

Debbie Lynn Elias

Flounders with uncertainty of direction as it touches on socio-economic depression, demons, vengeance, race and culture but never fleshes anything out. Everything feels like an after-thought as opposed to being cohesively constructed and interlaced.

Although a pleasantly peculiar finale at last breaks free of its quagmire of cliché, it can't quite make up for the inert build-up, as well as a handful of illogical details that annul any of the film's more successful moments.

If you're looking for a classic ghost story that also has a unique storyline, this is the movie for you. It had all the elements of a great ghost story, but it also added a little something extra with the voodoo.

It's somewhat of a slow-burn psychological horror film with plenty of creativity.

With its subtle scares, Jessabelle starts out really well. It's the abrupt, illogical ending that spoils the fun.
