Devil Down South review

Devil Down South

Sean Austin brings it strong again this time with a tale of possession in Devil Down South. This documentary follows a young woman for years as she lives with the repercussions of screwing around in black magic. As a teen, Abby feels on the outside and is given a book about the dark arts by an aunt and of course performs one of the rituals. I’ll be very clear here that I’m not a religious person, but I know enough to not mess with something I don’t understand. She regrets her decision, and it ends up haunting her to this day. She is attacked by demonic forces, haunted by a man who committed suicide, and has an awful force harass and basically attempt to get her son to kill himself.

The toughest part of this piece is seeing Abby deal with and talk about the death of her young daughter who she lost at before turning even 2 years old. She mentions stories of what happened while pregnant and the price she is paying for flirting with evil all those years ago. 

At just under 2 hours, this piece is very different than his previous ghost hunting in Malefice. In Devil Down South we have great interviews with Abby herself and very well-done re-enactments of the events of her life including some creepy possession scenes. Nice interview sequences with Sean himself also. It does a great job of really connecting us with Abby and getting an idea of how playing around with black magic can truly wreak havoc. It’s something most people scoff at yet if you asked those same people to play around with a Ouija board they wouldn’t do it. I’ve read enough on the subject to know it’s no joke and I think this doc brings in front and center. Not to mention it’s great to watch for the Halloween season.
