Original Title:

Lovely Molly

Molly (Gretchen Lodge) — too often left on her own in the isolated house where she grew up — begins to sense a ghostly presence. She starts documenting everything with a camcorder to convince her husband (Johnny Lewis) and sister (Alexandra Holden) that she’s not insane. This horror melodrama from Blair Witch co-director Eduardo Sanchez surprisingly isn’t a found-footage picture — but a ghost story/crack-up effort which seesaws between The Entity and Repulsion. Lodge is uncomfortably convincing and there’s one memorably squirm-inducing act of violence.

Blair Witch veteran Eduardo Sanchez moves away from found footage to create an effectively creepy haunted houser with a strong central turn by Lodge.
