Don't See it Alone.....
I haven't seen a lot of movies lately that keep me on the edge of my seat..... but this movie is something special.
This movie for the average viewer reminds me of a modern day Blair Witch Project. The feature uses very low-tech filming and no-name actors to create a haunting tale where Katie the films hero has been followed and tormented for many many years. The backstory for this feature is that the evil presence has been apart of Katie's life ever since she was eight years old. Giving her fear of creatures and ghosts that always made it hard for young Katie to live her life without looking behind her back.
Present day occurs and we meet Katie's better half Micah, who has been caught up in trying to help his girlfriend get over her constant fear of the night terrors by accumulating high tech tracking equipment to hopefully catch a glimpse of her would be assailent. By doing this Micah feels that he can prove that that the culprit is just a figment of their imaginations and finally they can get over the hallucinations that have been waking them up at night.
After watching the results of each of the previous nights, the couple realizes that there is something fishy going on in the bedroom. So they called on a psychic to come and survey the house where he felt the evil presence in a large way. The Psychic warned that the presence was apart of Katie's life and there would be no escape from it's tormenting ways.
Days continue, and as the filming followed, it appeared that the presence has become more and more violent towards the couple. Eventually Micah gets it in his head to try and speak with the demon to try and convince it to leave Katie alone. But things turn even more cryptic as the presence makes it's mark in a Ouija Board by burning the name of the last person who felt his evil wrath before being silenced forever.
Many days pass, and the symptoms get worse as the demon begins to finally show itself when the couple is asleep or even while they are awake. As things get worse, the couple freaks out even more and begins their final descent into discovering what the entity desires.
The feature has all the pieces needed to become a cult classic for generations to come, including a startling conclusion which beckons the question is this movie a movie, or a biography on demonic possession. Even the end of the feature the movie goes black, no credits, just black giving you the feeling of loneliness and the comfort of a chilling movie.
This movie is 99 minutes long.
