So, the film starts with a young girl and her boyfriend
hanging out with a bunch of devil worshiping weirdo’s who talk her into
playing a game of “keep your eye on the cup”, the result of which will
decide whether or not she has been
chosen to be possessed by the devil.
Needless to say, the girl wins and is told
by one of the cult members to stand at a road junction and say her name and the
devil will appear. She is possessed and
forced to do evil things, but eventually kills herself. The devil’s spirit remains
in her house and tries to find a way back into the souls of whoever lives there.
The rest film is set some thirty the years later (present
day) and follows a real estate agent trying to sell the possessed house. Things
take a bit too long to get going for my liking with practically nothing
happening for the first half hour. The scene when the real estate agent
discovers that she has just been talking to the ghost of the girl who committed
suicide in the house, is just ridiculous to me.
The natural reaction would be to get the hell out of the there, but she follows the girl around the house. I mean she’s just asking for trouble.

The evil spirit passes from person to person during the film
with some great shock scares along the way. The scenes where the sisters each
search the house in the dark with torches are really creepy – I was just
waiting for something to jump out. I found the scene with the girl standing in
front of the mirror the creepiest of all - with that sinister voice.
Altogether, this wasn't a bad effort. It slowed down and dragged in parts, but there were plenty of scares and creepy moments; and the ‘floating in the air’ possessions scenes were very convincing. This film brings something different to the possession sub-genre.
