Der Fluch der Betsy Bell (2005)
Tennessee, im Jahre 1818. Nach einem erbitterten Streit mit einer als Hexe verschrienen Bäuerin liegt plötzlich ein Fluch auf der Familie des Farmers John Bell und seiner Frau Lucy. Eine unsichtbare und unbarmherzige Macht dringt in das Leben der braven Sippe ein, malträtiert besonders Familienoberhaupt John und die halbwüchsige Tochter Betsy. Mit der Zeit wird der Geist immer mächtiger und aggressiver, die Qualen der Bells steigern sich ins Unerträgliche. Ein gespenstischer, blutrünstiger Wolf streift um das Haus, ominöse Stimmen ertönen und schließlich kündigt der paranormale Eindringling an, dass er John Bell töten werde. Während Betsys Verehrer Richard verzweifelt nach einer wissenschaftlichen Erklärung für die Attacken forscht, suchen die Bells ihr Heil in Exorzismen und schließlich in einem dramatischen Fluchtversuch. Doch vor ihrem dämonischen Peiniger scheint es kein Entkommen zu geben. Bis eines Tages das Rätsel des Fluchs gelüftet wird...
