A single mother, Olivia, takes on a job in call centre to earn money to pay for her sick daughter’s medical bills. The call centre is set on the top floor of an old hospital owned by a rich family with a dubious past.
While finishing work late one night, Olivia assists a young girl, Nerisa, who seems to be trapped in the building. Her daughter then stages a miraculous recovery, but something doesn’t seem quite right.
Is it worth watching?
This is a movie of two very distinct halves, heavily inspired by Korean cinema. The first half is an excellent mystery thriller story. The pacing is well done and the story is captivating enough to keep your interest.
But at the half way point, the movie swings into horror mode when the possession element takes over, and this is where the movie starts to fall apart. It then relies on the usual horror movie tropes, but forgets to keep telling an interesting story, especially as while the director has shoehorned a back story into the spirit, they forgot to add the motivation.
Hence, we end up with a horror thriller film that expects you to just want to enjoy the horror element and ignore the details of the story. And that’s not what I am looking for in a decent horror film.
