Thanks, that's apparently it.
I remember seeing a bit of this on the television a few years back but I'm not sure if it was originally a movie or some sort of mini-series. It was black and white. There was an abusive father figure, a teen-aged son, and I think one younger daughter, although there may have been two. The daughter either had telekinetic powers or was being blamed for the work of some sort of spirit.
With either semi-controlled powers or spirits the wall was getting defaced and scribbled. The father got pissed about it and started to take off his belt, threatening a severe beating for the girl. The girl was crying and afraid, and the son was angered at the treatment of his sister. He ended up grabbing a shotgun off the floor, jamming it in the dad's face and shouting "Enough!". The father backed down apparently. Soon the scene cut to the teen aged son sitting on his bed with his back to the wall, listening to a cassette player if I recall correctly. An evil demonic sounding voice was apparently heard from it. Angrily asking the son "Why didn't you kill the pig?!".
