jhs39 Review of Expulsion of the Devil

Expulsion of the Devil (1973)

Clunky, occasionally spooky French haunted house thriller.

[5/10 · 14 November 1998]

This is a clunky and rather slow, but mildly interesting French take on the family moves into a haunted house genre. The special effects which largely consist of furniture sliding around are strickly sub-Exorcist, but the film has a few quirky touches which keep the proceedings from being too predictable. Worth a look, if only because French horror films are such a rarity, but this doesn't hold a candle to the similarly themed The Haunting.
