Jo Campbell (a solid and sympathetic performance by Rachel Brooke Smith) has to fight a demon from her past that has taken possession of her rowdy alcoholic sister Maddie (sharply played by Terri Ivens). Father Marco (a sturdy portrayal by Danny Trejo in a refreshing change-of-pace good guy role) helps out.
Director/co-writer Robin Bain relates the familiar, but still engrossing story at a steady pace, takes time to develop the characters, adroitly crafts a creepy and unsettling mood, and stages the exciting climatic exorcism with aplomb. Moreover, the love between the two estranged sister protagonists gives this picture some real depth and poignancy. A neat little flick.
