Short filmTranscript
00:00The movie begins in 1961. A frightened Hispanic couple brings their son Juan to the young
00:09medium Sean Sandena. Juan tells her that he can hear a voice, and it keeps getting louder.
00:16Sean asks what he did, and Juan's mother explains that he stole a silver necklace from
00:20a gypsy wagon. They tried to return it, but the gypsies wouldn't take it back. Sean
00:25asks them to bring Juan in, and inside, he sees many demonic hands trying to approach him.
00:32Sean reads some prayers and tries to help him, but suddenly the demon enters the house and
00:36begins attacking them and knocks them down. Juan tries to flee, but the demon throws him
00:41down from the balcony. As Juan attempts to get up, the floor starts to crack, and a demonic
00:47hand emerges from hell, grabbing him. He screams for help, but Sean can't do anything to save him.
00:54Juan is dragged into hell, and a furious Sean vows to fight the demon again one day.
01:03In the present day, we are introduced to Christine Brown, a bank loan officer. She
01:08approaches her boss, Mr. Jax, and asks if he has made any decision regarding the assistant
01:14manager's position. Jax tells her that he is still deciding, and that it is currently between her
01:20and her colleagues. Christine visits her boyfriend Clay's office for lunch. While leaving,
01:25she overhears him talking to his mother, and learns that she doesn't like Christine,
01:30and suggests that he see another girl. Christine returns to the office, where an elderly and
01:36untidy woman named Sylvia Ganouche approaches her desk and asks for help. Sylvia explains that the
01:42bank is repossessing her house, and the men are already packing all her things. She pleads,
01:47explaining that she has lived in the house for 30 years and made every payment until she fell
01:53ill. She says she just needs a little more time as she hopes to have more money soon.
01:58At Sylvia's request, Christine approaches Jax and asks if there is anything they can do to help her.
02:04Jax checks Sylvia's papers and says they have already granted her two extensions.
02:09He hands Christine the paperwork, saying it's her call. Desperate to become assistant manager,
02:15Christine makes a tough decision and informs Sylvia that another extension on the loan
02:20is out of the question. Sylvia gets upset upon hearing this, and begins to leave,
02:25but then stops and tells Christine that she is a proud woman who has never begged for anything.
02:31Yet she now finds herself begging. Christine feels very embarrassed and moves toward her,
02:37to stop her. But as Christine steps back, Sylvia falls to the floor. Security arrives to assist
02:43Sylvia, and seeing this, Sylvia accuses Christine of shaming her. The security team escorts Sylvia
02:50out of the bank, and Christine feels sorry for her. Suddenly, Sylvia lunges at Christine to
02:55attack her, but the security guards catch Sylvia and throw her out of the bank. That evening,
03:01Jax tells Christine that he is very impressed with her work, and that she is at the top of
03:06the list for the assistant manager's position. As Christine is leaving for home, she finds Sylvia's
03:12car parked right in front of her own. Nervously, Christine walks towards her car, and as she
03:17starts to open the door, she hears Sylvia coughing, which frightens her even more. She quickly gets
03:23into her car, but then sees Sylvia's handkerchief flying towards her, and before she can react,
03:29the handkerchief lands on her windshield. It then starts flying backward, and when Christine
03:34turns around, she is shocked to see Sylvia sitting in the back seat. Sylvia suddenly attacks her,
03:41but Christine fights back with a stapler and briefly frees herself. Sylvia attacks again,
03:46causing the car to shift into reverse and collide with another car behind them.
03:51However, despite the crash, Sylvia continues her assault. Christine manages to start driving the
03:57car forward, puts on her seatbelt, and collides with a car in fight, causing Sylvia to hit the
04:02dashboard, which knocks out her dentures. Sylvia, undeterred, tries to attack again by putting her
04:09dentures back in, but Christine shoves a ruler into Sylvia's mouth and pushes her out of the car,
04:15quickly closing the door before Sylvia can get back in. Sylvia gets down and picks up a brick
04:20to break open Christine's car's window. She then pulls Christine out of her car and moves towards
04:26her, but instead of attacking her, she breaks a button from her jacket. She then approaches
04:31Christine and tells her that soon, it will be her who comes begging to her. She puts the button in
04:37Christine's hand, and Christine falls unconscious, and when she regains consciousness after some time,
04:43she sees that Sylvia has left. Later, Clay reassures Christine that the officers will
04:48talk to Sylvia, and she won't bother her anymore. As they walk, Christine turns around and notices
04:55a gust of wind blowing toward her, and then she sees a spiritual advisor's shop nearby.
05:01She decides to go in and get her fortune read. Inside, they meet Ramjas, the psychic, who tells
05:08Christine that something has been taken from her. He points to her button, and Christine tells Clay
05:13that the old woman took a button from her sleeve. The atmosphere there then becomes a bit strange,
05:19and when Ramjas tries to look carefully at Christine's face, he sees a glimpse of a demon in it,
05:24which scares him a lot. He says it's enough for tonight, and he will refund their money. Christine
05:30asks if he saw something, to which Ramjas informs her that a dark spirit has attached itself to her,
05:36suggesting that someone may have cursed her. On their way back home, Clay tells Christine that
05:42Ramjas was likely just making guesses, and leaving her with unanswered questions, implying that he
05:48might be a scam artist. That night, Christine hears noises outside her door, and to her horror,
05:55she hears creaking sounds from the ceiling above. She looks out the window to check,
05:59and sees a door swinging. Suddenly, a gust of wind startles her, and then the lights in her
06:05house begin to flicker. Christine becomes very frightened, but after some time, everything
06:10becomes calm. Then, she notices a demonic shadow on the wall that suddenly takes her, and at that
06:16moment, the lights in her house come back on. Later, Clay arrives, and as he is about to call
06:22the cops, Christine tells him that it was not Sylvia. In fact, nobody was there. Confused,
06:29Clay asks who did this, but Christine remains silent. They call the doctor, who suggests that
06:35it is just a reaction to her being attacked earlier in the day. Later that night, a fly
06:40enters the house and lands on Christine's face, before crawling into her mouth. She wakes up
06:45coughing, but when she realizes it was just a dream, she lies back down. Suddenly, she sees
06:51Sylvia replacing Clay next to her, who then attacks her, and throws up insects on her face.
06:57Christine wakes up abruptly and realizes that it was just a nightmare. The next day at work,
07:03Christine realizes that the fly is buzzing inside her stomach. Just then, Stu approaches her and
07:08asks her to finish teaching him the loan procedures. She asks if they can do it tomorrow,
07:14but he says he'll just tell Jax that she doesn't have the time right now. Feeling pressured,
07:19she agrees to teach him, and as she begins explaining, she gets startled by a vision of
07:24Sylvia's hand on the table. In frustration, she tells Stu to get his filthy knuckle off her desk,
07:30and startled and offended, Stu leaves. As Christine picks up a call, her nose begins
07:36to bleed profusely. Jax attempts to help her, but blood spurts from Christine's mouth,
07:41and then from her nose. Embarrassed and frightened, Christine hurries out of the office,
07:47and as she leaves, Stu steals her file. Christine goes to beg Sylvia Ganish for forgiveness,
07:53where she meets Sylvia's granddaughter Ilenka, who tells her that her grandmother predicted
07:58Christine's arrival. Ilenka invites her inside, and to Christine's horror, she learns that Sylvia
08:04has recently died, and that today is her funeral. Terrified, Christine accidentally falls onto
08:11Sylvia's corpse, causing the table to break, and the corpse to fall on her, oozing a liquid
08:17from its mouth. The family members help return the corpse to the table, and Ilenka then tells
08:22Christine that she deserves everything that is coming to her. Christine visits Ramjaz,
08:28who explains she is plagued by the Lamia, a black goat demon summoned by gypsies for their darkest
08:34deeds. For the first three days, the Lamia appears as a tormenting spirit. After that,
08:41it reveals itself as a taker of souls, and comes for the owner of the accursed object.
08:46Christine takes out her button from her pocket, and asks if burning it would help. Ramjaz explains
08:52that she would still be the owner, and the Lamia would still come to take her soul. He suggests
08:57that she could attempt to appease the spirit, and the simplest way would be a blood offering.
09:02He then gives her a book to assist her in the process. The next day, Christine hears some noise
09:08coming from a room. When she goes to check, she is haunted by the Lamia. Terrified, she rushes
09:13upstairs, and to her horror, she watches Lamia ascending stairs. Panicked, she locks herself in
09:19her room and calls Clay, but he is busy with work and doesn't pay attention to the phone.
09:25The Lamia approaches her room and stands in front of the door, causing her phone's battery to drain,
09:30and Sylvia haunts her. She then watches as Lamia's shadow attempts to approach her,
09:35and as she tries to flee, it haunts and throws her back. It then lifts her into the air before
09:42throwing her across the room, and then it leaves. Desperate to save herself, Christine kills her cat
09:48as a sacrifice, and buries it in her backyard. Clay arrives looking for her, and notices blood
09:54on her sleeve, but Christine quickly explains that it's just tomato juice, hiding the truth from him.
10:00Clay takes Christine home to meet his parents, Trudy and Leonard, and Christine brings a harvest
10:06cake that she made herself as a gift for them. During dinner, Trudy unexpectedly warms up to
10:12Christine, and when they all try Christine's harvest cake, Christine starts feeling uneasy.
10:18She asks Clay if he heard something, but he says no. As Christine begins to eat her cake,
10:24she notices some movement in it, and to her horror, an eye suddenly pops out. Terrified,
10:30she pricks it with her fork, and when she tries to grab her fork, it goes in it.
10:34She eats the cake with a spoon, but starts coughing, and a fly emerges from her mouth.
10:39She then hears loud bangs on the door, prompting her to throw a glass at it, and screams for the
10:44demon to leave her alone. Clay tries to calm her down, assuring her there's no one there.
10:50Eventually, she leaves, and Trudy tells Clay not to follow her as she's unwell.
10:55She approaches Jas, who proposes they should directly confront this dark spirit. He mentions
11:01knowing someone who can assist them, but the woman won't do it for free and demands $10,000 in cash.
11:08The next day, she goes to Jack's office and asks for an advance on the new position.
11:13However, he informs her that their deal was cancelled the previous night,
11:17and they finalized it with another bank. He adds that things don't look promising for her,
11:22or for himself at the moment, so the promotion has been postponed,
11:27and he believes he may have to give the job to Stu instead.
11:30Christine returns home and decides to sell her old belongings to raise the money.
11:35However, she is suddenly attacked by Sylvia, who forcibly inserts her hand into her mouth,
11:41choking her. In a desperate struggle, Christine manages to overpower Sylvia by crushing her with
11:47an anvil, causing Sylvia's eyes to bulge out. But the next moment, Sylvia vanishes. Later,
11:54Clay arrives and tells her that he paid Ramjaz because he knows how much pain this is causing
11:59her. He also recalls a promise he made to always take care of her. Later, Ramjaz introduces
12:05Christine to Sean Sandena, an experienced medium who has personally encountered the Lamia.
12:12Sean explains that many years ago, she first encountered this spirit in the same house and
12:17tragically lost a young boy's soul to it. She has waited all these years for an opportunity to
12:23redeem herself, to destroy the malevolent entity, and tonight is her chance. But she needs Christine's
12:29help to summon it. She tells Christine that her late husband Sandor was also a medium, and he
12:35selected this site to build a house because he sensed certain supernatural forces at work here.
12:41Ramjaz further explains that there is a specific force that creates a doorway through which they
12:46can pass and through, which others can enter their world. Sean invites her to sit, and just as they
12:52settle, Christine becomes frightened by the noise and sees Sean's assistant bringing a goat into
12:57the room. Sean reassures her that everything they are doing is for her own benefit, and asks her to
13:04calm down and sit. Sean then recites some spells, and then she explains to Christine that once the
13:10spirit has entered her, Christine should place her hand upon the animal. She will then transfer the
13:15spirit of Lamia into the goat, and her assistant Milo will strike the goat. She begins the séance,
13:22and when Christine asks Ramjaz what she needs to do, he instructs her to repeat the words,
13:27I welcome the dead into my soul. Christine complies, and after a while, Sean abruptly
13:33stops, and announces that something else is present with them. Suddenly, the chandelier
13:38begins shaking, after which they realize that Lamia has arrived there, and it starts moving
13:44around them. However, Sean tells them it is not Lamia, but an unsettled soul from years ago.
13:51Christine sees numerous other spirits present as well, but Sean successfully disperses them
13:56from the area. As they settle, Sean informs them that another spirit is approaching. Suddenly,
14:02the entire house begins to shake violently, and it becomes difficult for them to hear that noise,
14:08but then everything abruptly falls silent. Suddenly, a spirit rushes towards them and
14:14possesses Sean, and when Ramjaz asks for its identity, it reveals itself as Lamia. Ramjaz
14:21asks what it desires, to which Lamia responds that it wants Christine's soul to feast upon
14:27as she rots in the grave. Ramjaz tries to dissuade Lamia, telling it that Christine
14:33is insignificant and not worthy of its attention, but Lamia insists that it has come for her only.
14:40Christine places Sean's hand on the goat and transfers Lamia's spirit into it. Milo moves to
14:45strike the goat, but Lamia avoids the blow and bites Milo's hand instead. Lamia then possesses
14:52Milo and advances towards Christine, and then it attacks Ramjaz. Then it leaps onto the table and
14:58starts dancing, igniting it in flames. Ramjaz orders Lamia to leave immediately, but it strikes
15:04him with a chair, knocking him down. It then moves towards Christine, declaring that it doesn't want
15:10her cat, and then vomits up the corpse of Christine's cat. Ramjaz assists Sean in getting up to expel
15:16the spirit, and just before it can harm Christine, Sean begins chanting spells, causing Lamia to
15:23retreat to the table. After a struggle, Sean successfully banishes Lamia from the séance.
15:29As they believe it's all over, Sean suddenly collapses. Ramjaz instructs Milo to call an
15:35ambulance, but despite their efforts, Sean passes away. Later, Ramjaz informs Christine that Lamia
15:42cannot be expelled by a medium. She only witnessed Sean drive it away during a séance, and warns that
15:48it will return. The goat was never slaughtered, and when the night is through, Lamia will seek the
15:54owner of the cursed object, unless Christine is no longer its owner. Ramjaz asks her for the button,
16:00seals it in an envelope, and advises her to give it away as a gift, thereby passing on the curse.
16:06She asks why he didn't tell her this before, to which he responds that it's because Lamia will
16:11tear apart the soul of whoever receives it. On their way back home, Christine tells Clay that
16:17it's over. Suddenly, Sylvia appears in front of their car. However, when they stop, they find
16:23another man there, who tells Christine that she will burn in hell. Christine asks him to drop her
16:29at a diner, where she approaches an old man to give him the envelope. However, when the man's wife
16:34arrives, Christine changes her mind. She then calls Stu and confronts him about stealing the loan file
16:40from her desk, and giving it to another bank. She asks him to meet her in 10 minutes. Stu rushes
16:47to the diner and asks her what she wants. She initially says she wants to give him a gift,
16:52but then changes her mind again, and asks him to leave. She returns to Ramjaz, who tells her she
16:57can transfer the curse to a deceased person by formally gifting them the accursed object.
17:03She visits the cemetery and digs up Sylvia's grave. Standing there, she declares,
17:09I formally gift this button to Sylvia Ganesh, and then shoves the envelope into her mouth.
17:15Christine returns home, and receives a call from Jack, who informs her that he discovered Stu
17:21stole her file, and attempted to make his own deal with another bank. He tried to shift the
17:26blame onto her. However, after he confronted him, Stu broke down crying, and he is fired.
17:33On Monday morning, that assistant manager's position will be waiting for her.
17:37Christine meets Clay at Los Angeles Union Station for a weekend trip. Unaware of its significance,
17:43Clay shows her the envelope with the missing button he found in his car. Horrified, Christine
17:48backs away and stumbles onto the tracks. Clay rushes to save her, but a speeding train thunders
17:55through, leaving him helpless as, firing, demonic hands emerge, and drag Christine to her fatal end,
18:02condemning her to hell forever. Thanks for facing the frights with us.
