The Exorcist’s House Review

If you were a Goosebump’s lover or have any love for 90s horror at all I think you’ll love The Exorcist’s House. Let’s get into my review.

Synopsis

This psychological thriller follows a family to their Appalachian farmhouse, where they encounter an unimaginable horror.

In the summer of 1994, psychologist Daniel Hill buys a rustic farmhouse nestled in the rolling hills of West Virginia.

Along with his wife and teenage daughter, the family uproots their lives in Ohio and moves south. They are initially seduced by the natural beauty of the country setting. That soon changes when they discover a hidden room in the basement with a well, boarded shut and adorned with crucifixes.

Local legends about the previous owner being an exorcist come to light, but by then, all Hell has broken loose.

My Thoughts on The Exorcist’s House

This was pure nostalgic fun. Terrifying but fun. Seriously, this was one of the scariest books I’ve read in a minute, but it still had a great plot. I think the thing I loved the most was this book didn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Don’t get me wrong. I love a unique, out of the box, horror story, but you just can’t beat a classic done well. And that’s exactly what this is. Like every good horror story an unsuspecting family moves into a new home hoping for a new adventure. And boy do they get one. The haunting starts in the very first chapter and it gives just a taste of what’s to come. It only builds from there. Honestly, that’s all I’m going to say. This is a book to go into blind. Just know that apparently it is part of a series so there are a couple of plot points left hanging. And it interested me enough that I plan to give book two a read.

My Rating: 4/5
