One night, a demon attacks Rick, a contentedly married man. Under the spell of the demon, he takes a beautiful young woman, Ariel, off to an isolated house for a weekend fling. There, bizarre and frightening things happen, and accidentally Rick kills Ariel. But she won't stay dead. He soon realizes that she is the demon that first attacked him. He defends himself by killing her again. And again. But no matter how many times he kills her, she keeps coming back. When he finally escapes and returns home, he discovers that his life has disappeared into a nightmare of madness, lust, adultery, and cold-blooded murder.

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.
