Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This French occult thriller marks the directing debut of Juan Buñuel, the son of the famous filmmaker, Luis Buñuel. Sophie is a pubescent adolescent girl, and when her family moves into a new house, poltergeist effects begin to appear: paint cans tip over, tin soldiers disappear. Upset after being forced to allow her fearful brother to sleep in her room, she barges into her parents' room, only to find them making love. After this, supernatural mayhem breaks loose in a big way all over the house. A local TV news crew hears of the phenomena, and tries to cash in on it, but the strangeness escalates until everyone but the girl is driven out of the house.
