Trivia:
The first scene which writer Nicholas Kazan came up with for the film was the scene where Azazel first passes from person to person (the (the scene which culminates with the possession of Charles Olom (Robert Joy). Kazan was thinking about how evil can be passed on from one person to another, that it is contagious; if one person is nasty to another person, the second person will be nasty to a third person, the third to a fourth and so on. In thinking about this, he hit on the notion of what that may be like literalized, and he came up with the scene. The rest of the move sprang from that scene.

A chilling psychological thriller, that is cleverly written and superbly portrayed.
This film is not for everyone, you'll need patience and a real thirst for a good thriller. This film will play with your mind, it won't cover the screen with visuals and gore; that's why it works.
Sit back and be absorbed by the story, be amazed by the cast, and be shocked by the climax.
Warning, if you bore easily stay away, if you love a mind bending thriller; you won't find many better.
Fantastic and clever 9/10
