WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Sister Ann (Byers), a devout young woman, believes it is her purpose to perform exorcisms, but her institution strictly dictates that only priests can perform them. When she is allowed to observe actual training sessions, her personal desire to prove herself takes a dark turn when she meets one of the institution’s most disturbed patients, which unleashes a demon that has mysterious ties to her own past…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

What could have just been another straightforward exorcism movie is given extra dimension as a character study of a devout sister whose personal ambitions may spell doom for all around her, in this chilling horror from the director of The Last Exorcism.
