Something Evil

A young couple moves into a farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania. What they don't know is that there is an unseen presence in the house, and that it wants to take possession of the wife.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, Something Evil leans on a strong ensemble — Sandy Dennis, Darren McGavin, Ralph Bellamy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1972.
