From the director of CANDYMAN and the producers of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY comes a found-footage nightmare of lust, possession, and destruction. Jill's an artist. Ian's a filmmaker. And their love life is off the chain. There's no experience too wild, no dare too dangerous—not even when Jill lets Ian strap her to a gurney in the abandoned hospital they're scoping out for their next art show. But he shouldn't have left her alone. Not even as a joke. Now, Jill's hookup with horror has awakened something in that place. Something with a lust for more than flesh.

Why it matters

A raw dive into found-footage terror that mixes sexual obsession with supernatural possession in a decaying hospital setting.

  • Director Daniel de la Vega (Candyman 2021) leans into claustrophobic dread over cheap jump scares.
  • The film’s gritty, handheld camerawork captures an unsettling intimacy between its leads, blurring lines between art and exploitation.
  • Practical effects and eerie atmosphere trump flashy CGI, evoking ’90s and early ’00s body horror vibes.
  • Not for casual viewers—its explicit themes and slow-burn tension demand patience and a taste for transgressive horror.
