It has been a long time since I have watched a horror story
so well told from start to finish. However, Jessabelle is not the run of the
mill horror tale with half-crazed, half naked, bloodied young women hiding in
moldy cobwebbed basements. It is a well portrayed story rich in Southern
American mystery, folklore, and voodoo. Moreover,
it is a story of innocence lost, the unforgiven, and the tragic cost of
racism. Jessabelle will scare you and
keep you guessing to the very end.
Although, Jessabelle did not do well in the theater, it is a
great film to rent from Netflix
for a weekend at home.
