a few years ago, caught about half of this really really crazy horror movie from the 1970s.
first off, let me say this... I am not making this stuff up.
I can remember this movie very clearly.
however, it will sound kinda crazy to describe...
its suppose to be a true story to some degree.
ok, whats happening is, this house is majorly haunted.
like the worst haunting in history.
the ghost in it, is so violent towards one woman in the house, that people have clearly witnessed what its been doing.
throwing her around, kinda molesting her when others are around.
even when people are around.
later in the movie, theres a scene where supposedly the ghost rapes her.
it becomes a on going process that lasts years, and keeps that family in complete terror of thier own home.
till later, so many people have witnessed how blatant this haunting is... that word gets out to some reporter or scientist, and they want to study it... they come to study the haunting, then all hell breaks loose, the ghost goes nuts, it nearly kills the girl... all in front of the scientists and everything, so its real obvious theres no faking going on, something crazys happening there for sure... but if they stay, they might make it more mad, and kill her.
so they come up with some crazy idea to trap the ghost in liquid nitrogen, which they successfully do... for about 2 minutes, till it just goes insane, and nearly destroys the whole building trying to free itself.
it does escape....
continues to haunt this family even now, and supposedly, alot of this is based on a true story, of one of the worst hauntings ever recorded, cause it was so clear that what was happening there, was nearly impossible to explain... and yet so violent, that it just scared the hell outta people to even try to study it.
annnnd thats where the movie ended.
now, I've seen references to this story a few times over the years, about the worst haunting in known history, and things like how some family was haunted so horribly and so continuously for about 25 years... till someone finally made this movie about it.
I've always wanted to see what this movie was all about, since I missed alot of the beginning of it, and hearing it referred to a few times over the years on various mystery shows, made it memorable.
the film style of the movie, is really close to the exorcist, or cujo.
no "popcorn" scares (meaning, no screaming cats in the closest) just long drawn out scenes where you had to wonder what the hell was going on... in that silent, but psychological kinda scary, like the exorcist had.
but the movie is definatly from the 1970's or very close, cause the clothing styles, and film styles, grittyness of the movie all indicate that.
but I have no idea what the movie was called....
