This film is about a happily married man Rick (Michael Brainard) who gets attacked by a demon, which he winds up under a spell that causes him to seduce a young woman. Soon enough, his supernaturally induced affair gets out of hand.
This film surprised me from start to finish. I went in expecting a typical horror film, and in the end, I was very impressed!
The performances of the main actors was pitch perfect. It kinda reminded me of The Shining based on the feel of the film. All in all, I enjoyed this movie a lot and would definitely add it to my horror film collection. A must see!

I rented this movie this week. I thought it was pretty good. Where as it's not completely like I have not seen these types of movies before its hard to see anything completely original these days. Having said that I still will say it's entertaining and worth a watch. In fact it's one of those movies where you understand it much better with a second viewing, little comments the characters make really come much more into focus then. If your not a horror fan then you will not like this film. If you are then I believe the opposite will be true. Now for the plot: Without giving too much away it's kind of like Ground Hog's Day meets The Evil Dead. A little bit anyway. All in all I give it a very good rating.
