After discovering an ancient book of the occult in their new home, Donald Capel’s wife Wendy is seized by a demonic entity, nearly killing her.

My quick rating - 4,2/10. We may need a new genre of "made during covid lockdown", at least , temporarily. But that isn't all bad in this case. The story here is really not done badly. Another book releases a demon type thing. The budget constraints are very apparent yet doesn't hinder the makers from coming up with decent ideas in confronting the entity. In this case each must do so in one of their senses, see, hear or speak. And in crafting something that keeps you watching, the director (Jamison M. LoCascio, not his first job either) uses some simple yet effective audio and cmaerwork to hint at things to scare you without needing a budget to show you anything frightening. In other words, suggest it. I was quite impressed at times but unfortunately those times are a bit few and far between as even at a mere 77 minutes, there are times nothing is going on. Either way, there is some promise here, just not with the acting.
