From the director of 1976's The Town that Dreaded Sundown comes this generally competent period horror with a likable cast.
It's 1942: Ben and Ruth Watkins (Parks, Harper) buy a rural Louisiana house only to slowly discover that a string of past owners all met with violent and mysterious ends.
Who could be stalking in and around the couple's new digs...and why?
Harper (of 1977's Suspiria) delivers a nice understated performance in this decent thriller boasting a clever 'evil must carry on' ending.
Too often the beneficiary of rather ho hum reviews, The Evictors may be an acquired taste, but it deserves a watch.
