The movie tells of a documentary filmmaker who does not believe in God or the Devil. When his wife dies, he sets out to make his next movie on religion and spirituality, hoping to prove those things are just myth. But in allowing demonologists, necromancers and various practitioners of the occult to try the deepest, darkest spells and rituals on him, he unleashes a horrifying force.
Shane Johnson (Starz’s upcoming Power), Dale Dickey (Iron Man 3), Julie McNiven (TV’s Supernatural) and Tomas Arana (Guardians of the Galaxy) make up the cast.
The movie was produced by Paul Brooks and executive produced by Scott Niemeyer and Guy Danella. The screenplay was written by Jung with a story by Jung and Tedi Sarafian.
