The 60 year witch-haunts-a-house story “Beezel” seems to have been kicked around a bit before Epic got hold of it and gave it a streaming release.

That’s a shame, because this creepy, low-budget horror tale certainly passes the “Well, I’ve seen Lilworse” test.

It’s a “found footage” thriller where the footage changes as decades pass and grainy video replaces grainy home movie film stock, making its way to the HD video in standard use today.

We see horrific goings-on in a suburban Massachusetts ranch house, first in the 1960s, then in the ’80s, early 2000s and 2013.

A New York documentary filmmaker (LeJon Woods) is summoned in the ’80s by the owner of the house (Bob Gallagher) who lets on that he wants to “clear my name” about the family murdered there decades before. He’s quick to dismiss the myth surrounding the house. And his wife even “acts the part” of a witch, scaring off annoying, taunting kids who harass them.

“Beneath the house, inside the room, the blind witch waits anon, to sniff and crawl and feast on all,” Harold Weems (Gallagher) recites, claiming that’s a rhyme local children made up. As if any child of the ’60s, ’70s or ’80s would use “anon.”

As we’d expect, first act Apollo (Woods) hears more than he should and faces his doom, with a twist or two in that.

Caroline Quigley plays the latest hospice nurse to come in to care for the widow Weems (Kimberly Salditt Poulin) and freaks out about what must have happened to the nurses who preceded her.

And screenwriter Victoria Fradkin plays a young woman who married a Weems offspring (Nicolas Robin) and lives with him in Paris. She comes to the house in 2013, camcorder in hand, to talk about “the murders” and grumps that “The worst part is, now nobody wants to buy” the place.

The frights are standard issue jolts, heightened by the strident strings of the truly alarming musical score (can’t find who composed/performed it). The pall of creepiness sets in from all these wintry, underlit scenes, some of them shot in the “found footage” element of the story.

“Beezel” won’t surprise anyone who has seen more that three or four horror films. But it’s far from awful, with decent performances, makeup, effects and “shock me, baby” editing.
