It's very similar to this movie but I didn't get that eureka moment from watching it. The cast was larger and younger from my recollection, but the theme is almost identical. The color in the picture seemed more vibrant if I recall.

For all I know this could be the movie but the details are scarce. The 70s may just be the era to look in as ghastly big homes was the subject matter for scary movies back then.

This was the synopsis from the site I found it which seems identical to your initial 2 post


. The Legend of Hell House (1973)
Physicist Lionel Barrett takes a mysterious machine to the infamous Belasco house, hoping to use it to neutralize what he calls the house’s “unfocused electromagnetic energy.” This quintessential haunted house was owned by Emeric “the Roaring Giant” Belasco, who reputedly disappeared after murdering numerous people in his humble abode. Two mediums accompany Barrett to the house, as well as his wife, Ann, who soon experiences erotic visions and, while naked, demands sex from Ben Fischer, the physical medium. At this point, Barrett activates his machine, though the house fights back, killing Barrett. Eventually Fischer discovers the mummified corpse of Emeric Belasco behind one of the walls and deduces that all of the psychic events in the house were due to Belasco’s telekinetic powers. Fischer then reactivates the machine, hoping to finally send Belasco’s spirit to the afterlife.

As a footnote, paranormal aficionados seem to think that ghosts have a measurable electromagnetic field. On TV shows such as Ghost Hunters, investigators often wave about EMF meters, hoping to detect the presence of spiritual entities.

Watched the thing for what seems like the 1000th time. God I love that film. It's a perfect horror film.


Decided to watch the thing 2011 again since I had only seen it once.


God. The CGI is so bad. It's just night and day.


Practical effects on a 15 million budget from a film thats over 30 years old holds up better than a film with a 40 million budget that's only 6 years old.

The film itself is fine but it's completely and utterly ruined by the use of CGI. If only they had used practical effects.

I don't even want to tell you this because it's going to upset you but they actually did use practical effects for basically every effects shot in the movie....then for some inexplicable reason the studio removed/replaced virtually all of them in post-production.

Just watched the original evil dead movie yesterday, classic :wow:
Ive never seen the remake tho, is it worth it ?
As someone that puts the entire Evil Dead trilogy on the highest pedestal for horror and horror/comedy, the remake is not bad at all. It certainly could've been much worse imo

:mindblown: What the fukk where they thinking? Not only was the cgi aweful in that movie, why spend even more money to go back and use it when you've already done the film with practical effects? Complete waste of money, no wonder this movie cost $35 million. To make things worse it only made $20 something million at the box office :why:

Annabelle creation was decent. Was about the same quality as lights out and ouijia prequel to me.


Oddly enough it's out pacing the first Annabelle at the box office.


There was an after credits scene for the nun.
