CriticsCritics: 81
AudienceAudience: 8.0

When a young girl begins displaying disturbing behavior, her desperate mother seeks answers from doctors and eventually turns to two Catholic priests. As the child’s condition worsens, the family faces an unsettling struggle between medical explanations, faith, and a frightening supernatural possibility.

My take

You’ll like this if you value character-driven horror, serious supernatural themes, and a gradual build, but Not for you if you prefer fast scares, modern effects, or consistently intense pacing.
