Kind of lame but it's a t v movie. A slow burn movie which takes it's time. Well there is a few scary moments and screaming. Well, for a T V movie and age Something evil is lame. There is the story line of an isolated wife slow driven crazy by the house with the busy executive husband is away. The farm hand with who warns the family. The story is well okay. Regrettably no real special effects. There's build ups with small scares. The ending is anti climatic. Spieldberg gets the best out of the actors, and direction, but the characters and story is weak. 3 stars.
