Plot: Inspired by actual events, Canadian filmmaker Damon Vignale's Leo-nominated supernatural thriller tells the tale of a kidnapped drug dealer who miraculously manages to escape his abductors, and the connection that police begin to make between what appears to be a typical street crime, and a 16th Century case of demonic possession involving a renowned exorcist and a French nun. Sister Madeline was an early-16th Century nun from Aix-en-Provence, France who had been overtaken by an entity that, when confronted by veteran exorcist Father Sebastien Michaelis, revealed itself to be a fallen angel on a mission to punish sinners and tempt the innocent. At the time, Father Michaelis wrote extensively about his battle against that unholy spirit, and now, 400 years later, his writings may prove the key to solving a disturbing modern-day mystery. Ryan James is a drug dealer who has just survived a close brush with death. After being kidnapped and bound, the street-smart dope slinger somehow managed to break free of his bonds and stage a daring escape. Now terrified that his kidnappers will return to complete the mission they failed to carry out the first time around, a desperate James contacts the local police in hopes that they can somehow help to save his life. Having worked in the city for many years, strong-willed detective Jen Porhowski thinks she has heard it all. Upon hearing James' fantastical account of his harrowing struggle, however, Jen skeptically tries to make sense of the story by separating the hard facts from perceived fiction. But sometimes there's a greater truth at work, and now as the pair begin to discover Father Michaelis' centuries-old writings they quickly learn that this modern kidnapping case may in fact transcend their reality and have implications that reach back through the centuries. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I'm posting my opinion on this movie, and I did not care much for this at all. I will note that it is worth renting. I thought the intensity level was excellent, but it climaxed and ended to suddently. There are just way to many things that are left up to the viewer's imagination, and In my opinion that's what spoiled it for me. I respect the approach in taking horror and Demon's in a more thought provoking conservative direction, but it just didn't work for me.
Nothing can and ever will top The Exorcist in horror!
If you buy this get it used $4 or less!
Happy Viewing

Good independent thriller

I thought this was an excellent short(er) film about demons, both within and without. Although at times the camerawork was obviously second-rate, the overall feel of the film was very good. The writers did an excellent job of adding the possession element without it overcoming the movie. Very, very well written. This made up for some of the shortcomings of the film.

The action starts with the very first scene of the guy being hunted inside a parking garage, and doesn't let up until the climax at the end. Michael Eklund did a marvelous acting portrayal of a nervous and withdrawn drug dealer. At times, he really carried the movie.

I would recommend this movie if you enjoy high intensity thrillers (think Momento with a sprinkle of demons.)
