Storyline
After a year passes since the sudden death of a child, a family
gathering takes place whilst peculiar unexplainable events occur.
Tension over peculiar circumstances cracks the veneer of cordiality and
dark secrets emerge. Bethany (Sienna Guillory) becomes increasingly
unhinged and seems Hell bent on tearing her family apart. Is she
possessed or simply playing devils advocate? With the help of a priest
and a psychic the family attempts to restore peace and sanity. But
events which occur that night could never have been foreseen. Police
psychologist Dr Woods (Eric Roberts) tries to exact fact from fiction of
what really took place in the house in this gothic horror morality
tale.
Reviews
My quick rating 5,3/10.
This time of year it seems the possession films come out of the
woodwork. That being said, this movie does little to stand out from the
others as far as the actual possession goes. A year after the death of
one of the characters child, they all get together for the holiday and
things go awry. The possession more or less just "happens" from there
and the woman that ends up as the "host" (Sienna Guillory) does a good
job acting a bit off the wall when need be. Some of the funniest lines
do come from the demon but not in a comedic way. Meaning for me, timely
swearing and divulging of peoples secrets. So as my one line states, the
whole movies focus is upon ridding the demon from Bethany once and for
all (without being killed) and of course all leads up to a climax. I
will admit the trip is more or less just there for the means to getting
to the destination. Enjoy.
