A chilling Southern gothic horror that creeps under your skin!
Directed by Kevin Greutert, Jessabelle (2014) follows Jessie (Sarah Snook), a young woman who returns to her late father’s Louisiana bayou home after a tragic accident leaves her wheelchair-bound.

The trailer sets a haunting tone: eerie swamps, flickering VHS tapes, and a malevolent spirit tied to a mysterious voodoo curse. As Jessie uncovers unsettling tapes left by her deceased mother, she’s plagued by visions of a ghostly figure and dark secrets about her own past. With the help of her friend Preston (Mark Webber), she battles a sinister force that threatens her life and sanity.

Packed with atmospheric dread and slow-burn suspense, the plot weaves grief, mystery, and supernatural terror. Snook’s raw vulnerability anchors the film, though reviews note the story leans on familiar horror tropes, with a twist-heavy ending that splits audiences []. Joelle Carter and David Andrews add depth as skeptical locals, but the film’s strength lies in its creepy bayou setting and unsettling visuals, despite pacing issues .

One house. One curse. No escape. Jessabelle is a moody, spine-chilling horror that delivers eerie thrills but stumbles with predictability. Perfect for fans of gothic ghost stories!
