Elizabeth (Anna Hoots) has only recently graduated from college and has
moved back in with her parents (Sarah Turner Holland, Christopher Rowley)
for the time being, when she starts having nightmares - which is really
not that surprising as she has only recently lost her best friend Victoria
(Darby Flynn) to suicide that she thinks was actually murder, and years
ago she lost her sister (Wren Wilson), which sent her into a trauma and
she was diagnosed with schizophrenia afterwards. Thing is, Elizabeth's
dreams become more and more violent, and the persons she dreams of dying
die in the real world as well - including her therapist (Laila Hameen)
while she had Elizabeth under hypnosis. Now fortunately the investigating
detective, Olivia (Liz Fletcher), is also a friend of Elizabeth's and
despite all the evidence pointing to the contrary, she doesn't suspect
Olivia for a minute, instead gets her in touch with a former priest turned
spiritual detective, Matt (Jared Noble) - who believes that Elizabeth is
haunted by a demon out to possess her, and a very strong demon at that, so
to exorcise him he turns to a fellow priest (David Moak), someone from
Elizabeth's past she never expected to see again. But are two priests and
a young woman enough to defeat an all powerful demon? A rather
cool demonic possession flick that actually for the longest time works
more like a straight thriller than a horror movie, favouring the
psychological and the murder mystery motives over the shocks and scares -
and thanks to a well-crafted screenplay that gives away its plotpoints
only by the by, this method works out rather nicely, too. And a cast
that's solid enough to keep things grounded, and a direction that's
atmospheric yet mostly subtle help make this a pretty effective genre
movie.
