Review: Jessabelle (2014)
By William Pattison
For Horror Bob’s Blog
This time I’m reviewing a ghost story that takes place in
the Louisiana Bayou…
Returning to her childhood home in Louisiana to recuperate
from a horrific car accident, Jessabelle comes face to face with a
long-tormented spirit that has been seeking her return -- and has no intention
of letting her escape.
Nothing better than a ghost story located in the Bayou and
featuring voodoo. This film oozes atmosphere and the ghost is scary as shit. I
love that they use old VHS tapes to reveal the backstory.
I love the design of the ghost. This ghost is oozing with
swamp water and is vicious as hell.
The cast does their jobs well. The lead actress royally plays
things up just right. And the girl who plays the ghost is frickin’ crazy. She
has a near feral nastiness to her performance.
Like my favorite Bayou film The Skeleton Key, this film is a
treat for ghost fans and voodoo fans. I highly recommend it…
