Ever since the death of her mother (Laurene Landon), Anne (Sadie Katz) has had troubles to reality - so much so that she has become a threat to her husband (Anthony W. Preston) and young son (Pressly James Crosby) and has been given limited visitation rights by court order, even though both love her very much. Anne is aware of all of this and seeking help, but neither her doctor (Ron Russell) nor her psychiatrist (Kim Marie Austin) nor her reiki healer (Denise Milfort), and by the by Anne comes to the conclusion she must be possessed by a demon, one she has possibly inherited from her mother. She asks Father Geoffrey (Vernon Wells), a priest of her trust, for advice - and quite honestly an exorcism -, but since Father Geoffrey has recently left the church in disgrace, his means are only limited, and most of all he can't perform no exprcism being excommunicated. So Anne rents a motel room to perform an exorcism on herself - but that's easier said than done, given the demon (Victoria De Mare, voiced by Jim Towns) is not only very real, but much more powerful and sneaky that she could have ever expected ...

Now that's not a combination one hears very often, an exorcism movie about female empowerment. And accordingly, the film's lead Sadie Katz, who has also conceived the film's story together with director Jim Towns, is the powerhouse of this movie, bringing her full emotional range to bring her well fleshed out character to life. And she's certainly helped by a strong supporting cast and, probably more importantly, a genre savvy directorial effort by Towns, who has turned into what's basically a slowburn horror into an atmospheric suspense piece - and a film that's almost certainly ring true with a dedicated horror audience and beyond,
