The Banishing (2020)

The family of a priest, his wife and daughter, moved in the 1930s to a house offered by the church, but the house has a sinister past.

'The Banishing' is a classic recipe horror film, which has a very slow development and a very mixed style, with many questionable choices. The dramatic elements in the family's story are a distraction that was not necessary and the ending only helps to give rise to more questions. In terms of style, it is well made and the cast carries the film brilliantly despite the film's shortcomings.

Director:  Christopher Smith      
With: Jessica Brown Findlay, John Heffernan, Anya McKenna-Bruce, Sean Harris, John Lynch

Rating: 7/10
