The Banishing

This period British horror is packed to the rafters with classic genre sequences. Creepy dolls? Check! Cloaked figures? Check! Poltergeists? Check! Child possession? Check! But more than just a bag of tricks, British director Christopher Smith sustains an atmosphere of genuine suspense, aided by the considerable talents of UK actors Jessica Brown Findlay and Sean Harris.
