The Banishing, while not widely known, dives into some eerie territory. Two sisters confronting the supernatural is a classic setup, but this film brings its own unsettling vibe. The pacing has that slow, creeping dread that builds effectively, enveloping you in an oppressive atmosphere. The practical effects, though not overly flashy, carry a certain rawness that enhances the horror elements. Performances feel genuine, especially in how the sisters’ dynamic plays out amid the chaos. There's an intriguing mix of folklore and personal struggle woven throughout, making it stand apart from typical entries in the genre. It's not without its flaws, but there's something about its earnestness that sticks with you.
