In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Haunted (1991)
A made for TV horror directed by Robert Mandel.
A family moves into a duplex with the grandparents and weird things start happening. They seek help from the church and from demonologists.
This film may not be as popular as other haunting films, but it has something that is only equaled in the first Poltergeist: style. It's creepy and spooky and you can feel the tension that it creates. The pacing is nice and slow, so it seems like a longer film than it really is and when it ends, it leaves me wanting more. Not many films can do that. I'm rating it best.
