Horror Vault's take

Based on the true story of the Smurl family, this 1991 TV movie follows an ordinary household whose new home quickly becomes a source of escalating terror they cannot explain or escape. As malevolent forces grow bolder and the Church offers little relief, the desperate family turns to renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren for help. The film builds its dread through domestic unease rather than shock tactics, grounding the supernatural in the mundane rhythms of family life. It's a slow-burn portrait of a household pushed to its breaking point by something they can neither see clearly nor fight conventionally.
