The only person Cameron undyingly loves then is his niece Angie (Mykayla Sohn), young daughter of his sister Caitlin (Angelica Chitwood) who has been ordered to stay away from her family due to her heroin habit - but time and again, Cameron just sneaks out Angie to be with her mother for a bit, because that's what good uncles/brothers do ... and then, during one such visit to Caitlin, Angie accidently gets possessed by demon Lilith (Stefanie Estes), first wife of (biblical) Adam - and the only way to get rid of that possession is to sacrifice six people in six days. Now obviously, Cameron is less than thrilled about having to sacrifice (as in deliver to Lilith to kill) someone, much less six people - but what makes it really hard is all six have to be blood-related to Angie ... and however much Cameron might hate most of his family, killing them is a different matter altogether - but then again, he loves Angie, and the support he gets from Caitlin in this time of need do encourage him to do the unthinkable ... but six murders in six days is still no small number ...<p> <p><b>The Chosen</b> is a little film that just gets it right: Sure, the premise might be far-fetched, but that's the case with lots of horror films. But the characters are written beliebable enough, and their reactions to things are spot-on - which is why one can really feel for Cameron, no matter what unspeakable deeds he commits for an after all selfish goal - that said, the fact that the whole ensemble's first rate doesn't hurt, either. Plus, the fact that the direction puts its focus on character rather than spectacle helps loads as well. Over-all a pretty great genre effort, actually! <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2015"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
