Only recently, Heather (Jo Kuzelka) has survived an earthquake that killed her friends by sheer luck - and then she and her father (Steven J. Carter) are brutally murdered and dismembered. The police is quick to pick up a suspect, McCallum (Gavin Lyall), who seems to be waiting for them, all covered in blood. Detectives Lamb (Gary C. Stilman) and Herrara (Queena DeLany) question McCallum - and seem to be getting nowhere with him. Sure, he admits to the murders, but claims he isn't who they think he is, even if fingerprints prove he's actually McCallum. And the McCallum they question isn't at all like the man those who know him describe him like. He claims to be possessed, and thinking he might plead temporary insanity they let a psychatrist (Cynthia Martells) take a look at him - but she claims whatever's wrong with him, he's not insane ... and furthermore claims he must have second sight or something as he knew things about her he just couldn't have known. Questioning McCallum more, Lamb and Herrara only get more confused, culminating in McCallum claiming he's God - and whatever they try to dispute that claim, he proves them wrong. Eventually, Herrara blows a fuse, beats McCallum to a pulp and eventually takes herself off the case - while staying on, Lamb is led deeper and deeper into the dark side of his soul - by a guy who just might be God ...

 

Confession most certainly is a pretty unusual movie, as it's part interrogation thriller, part supernatural horror, part character study, part theological/philosophical discussion, with a bit of police procedural thrown in, and all crowned by a triplike, surreal finale. And it all gels together surprisingly well, as these elements aren't played against one another but blended to a rather fascinating whole that's probably best described as a mindfuck of a movie, thanks to a clever narrative structure, witty and yet intelligent dialogue, a very solid directorial effort, and grounded performances that remnain real during even the wildest of scenes. Now it might be a movie that needs your full attention, and it's disturbing at times, but it's definitely also worth it, and likely a film that will stay with you for a few days after watching ...
