In 1990 Detective Bruce Kenner (Ethan Hawke of Sinister) investigates a case wherein a 17-year-old girl, Angela (Emma Watson), has accused her father, John (David Dencik), of raping her. She also tells stories of numerous masked people -- Satanists -- coming into her room and holding unholy rituals. Kenner doesn't believe in Satan, but he does believe that there are cults of Satanists performing rituals involving animal and even child sacrifice. As he investigates further, he becomes more and more paranoid, and is convinced people are following him. He also discovers that at least one police officer, George (Aaron Ashmore of Fear Island), may be one of the Satanists.

Verdict: Nominal horror film has the courage to eschew graphic, nauseating gore and keep the devil out of the equation. ***.

Now here is one I have not heard of and now must see...I love films about evil that don't rely heavily on violence to tell the story. They are rare! Thanks for the tip--I look forward to seeking this one out.

Hope you enjoy it! I had not heard of it, either, until I saw it on Amazon Prime, which for some reason, gave me a free month of movies (as they once did several years ago). You can't believe some of the stuff they are offering, LOL!
