2008 R 88 minutes
Several theological students summon a hellish demon in an experiment to test their own faith -- and end up paying a severe price in the process. Ten years later, the curse lives on as five students move into the abandoned residence hall of the Catholic school. But what was supposed to be a larkish weekend stay turns deadly when the kids realize they are not alone. Toni Harman directs this supernatural horror-thriller set in London.
Meagan’s Rating: 5 Stars
Although the genre of this movie was a little misleading, because it is not really what I would classify as a "horror" movie, it was a brilliant and thought provoking plot. This is one of those movies that stays hidden from mainstream society because it is misunderstood. It reminded me of The Celestine Prophecy - which also questioned human perception and the "reality" of life. It is the human experience that we see the sun rise in the East and set in the West, but is that the reality of what happens? No! For the Earth is simply revolving on it's axis, the sun is (relatively) stationary, and this is how it has happened for hundreds of thousands of years - and yet what do you see? It is this question of perception, specifically the perception of evil, and it's power to manipulate our human reality that this movie ponders, and you miss the point if you do not ponder it yourself.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did. You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.
Don’t be afraid you’re life will end, be afraid it will never begin. ~unknown
