I could say so much about this movie, but it would be a waste of energy. The premise is not that bad, but in every other aspect it fails: the script, the editing, the dialogues, the settings: it's all sad and uninspiring. The only good acting is by the mother (Marlyn Mason), but the heroine of the story and the few other characters really acted below par. Probably the makers thought that a touch of realism would make things better, but the scene where the mother secures the semen of her retarded son is quite appalling and I watched with disbelief how she walked around with the result and injected it in Amanda. The horror was not so much in the goings-on themselves (I usually can take tons of horror and gore!) as well in the fact that they really thought it necessary to show all this distasteful stuff. The courtroom-scene at the end was a bit surprising and could have made for a decent closure, but alas, they wanted to spring on us the obligatory final twist i.e. the start of a whole new chain of horror. What can I say: it was.... well, preposterous is the best word.I rank it not 1 but 2 out of 10, just for Marlyn Mason.

A unemployed woman finds a job in a ugly looking
hotel where she meet an old woman who hires her.
The woman who seems very nice has a dark secret,
and a dark agenda.
Besetment is obviously a B-movie, there's no doubt
about that, however you don't see that in the production,
direction, maybe in the acting, nothing else.

Reading some peoples reviews on this is pitiful.
The story is solid, acting is good the camera work could be better (seeing camera man in window of Sheriff Joe's Jeep outside the restaurant), sound is ok. Over all it's a good film, not every movie needs to be on a super explosive Hollywood budget. Like many die hard horror fans, we will watch good, bad and really bad and somewhere in-between each of those is the "it's not bad but not good either". This movie is certainly not an edge of a seat sitter or splatter/slasher flick but it does tell a good story and it shows some good acting by leads.

The Plot Amanda Millard, desperate for a job, takes a maid position at the Oregon Hotel in the creepy, back country town of Mitchell, Oregon. Owners Mildred Colvin and her Son Billy seem nice enough at first. But once Amanda discovers their real intentions, a struggle to make a living turns into a fight for her life.Acting isn't so good.The story takes it's time to unfold. It's not a bad story but it needs some action earlier. If you like GILF sex, you will love the middle of the movie. I practically threw up. I wanted to bale when Harley Quinn showed up.A watch is not worth it
