Nifty supernatural horror shocker
27 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Reporter Jamie Waters (a solid and appealing portrayal by Elizabeth Rice) goes to Singapore to uncover the truth about the mysterious circumstances pertaining to the suicide death of her sister. During said investigation Jamie runs afoul of a lethal and powerful demonic entity that's using modern technology to complete an ancient mission.

Writer/director Kelvin Wong relates the engrossing story at a constant pace, makes nice use of the exotic locations, takes time to develop the characters, ably crafts a creepy and unsettling atmosphere, and smartly explores the strong central themes of love, faith, and sacrifice. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Matthew Settle as flawed, but decent deadbeat dad and father Sam Harris, Adina Herz as sweet little girl Katie, Adrian Pang as the eager Father Matthew Goh, Jaymee Ong as perky babysitter Marjorie Tan, and Colin Borgonon as the sage Father De Silva. A neat little fright film.
