The Chosen
When a child-stealing demon attaches itself to a little girl, her family is thrust into a battle against time in order to save the girl and send the demon back to hell.
Why it matters
A tense supernatural thriller that taps into primal fears of possession and lost innocence with a classic demon-horror setup.
- Anchored by a subdued family drama that grounds the escalating supernatural dread in relatable stakes.
- Practical effects and shadowy cinematography build a creeping atmosphere without relying on cheap jump scares.
- Perfect for fans of ’70s and ’80s demon possession films who appreciate mood over gore.
- Not groundbreaking, but a solid indie effort that respects horror’s exorcism traditions without slipping into cliché.
