Another yawner about a demon who leeches itself to children and leaves the affected family looking for its "pound of flesh," so to speak.

Cameron is left in charge of his niece, Angie, while his mom goes visiting. They live in a house with their grandparents, both afflicted in some way or the other. Even though Cam's mother forbids him to take Angie to see her real mother, an ex druggie, where's the first place they go once mom is out of sight? You guess it. During the visit, there seems to be a horrible argument going on next door so Cam (naturally) investigates. Angie follows. Angie is then overcome by a LOT of second-hand smoke and has a proclivity for big eyeballs. Cameron then finds out Angie has become possessed by "the devil's whore, a/k/a Lillith." In order to save her, he must kill six people in seven days and offer them as sacrifices.

Another amateur-night-at-the-Bijou attempt at horror that was so confusing it was hard for me to keep everything straight. In fact, I don't think I did. The script was absolutely absurd because in one part of the movie you have the girlfriend who suddenly is upset about morals...while all along she's been trying to help Cam kill people. Go figure.

The movie is unrated and has some minimal violence, faux lovemaking, and language.
