Summary

1938, at the bishop's request, Reverend Linus moves into the rectory of Morley, a small village in England. He is joined by his
wife Marianne and their daughter, Adelaide. Initially delighted, Marianne soon becomes disillusioned. Linus is very cold towards her and refuses any intimacy. As for his daughter, she claims to be talking to an entity. As her family falls under the yoke of an invisible power, Marianne does everything in her power to save them. 

Our comment

Surprising and captivating, The Banishing, director’s 7th film, revisits the ghost film and the gothic tale, following the footsteps
of Peter Medak's The Changeling (1980), Alejandro Amenábar's The Others (2001) and Andrés Muschietti's Mama (2013).
