Overview

Once an architect, Frank Bannister now passes himself off as an exorcist of evil spirits. To bolster his facade, he claims his “special” gift is the result of a car accident that killed his wife. But what he does not count on is more people dying in the small town where he lives. As he tries to piece together the supernatural mystery of these killings, he falls in love with the wife of one of the victims and deals with a crazy FBI agent.

Viewing Notes

It’s been a long time but this is still pretty fun and has a great cast! Jeffrey Combs and Dee Wallace are both standouts and I didn’t remember that either of them were in this. Also cool to see Melanie Lynsky in this after seeing her recently in THE LAST OF US.
