A story about the pitfalls of trust and purity are analyzed in this fantasy/horror film. When Shay is reunited with her father after many years, she hopes that it will be the chance to get to know him. He invites his daughters (Shay and Jo) to a religious Purity Retreat in hopes that it will bring them close together. Once they arrive there, Shay starts to feel out of sorts. As her half-sister Jo starts to introduce her to some friends, she starts to feel like she belongs. One night they sneak away so they can perform a secret ritual to bring "Lilith" ( a supernatural entity) back to life. Once the ritual is performed they start to experience some strange phenomenon they can't explain. The only question they must figure out is what is more dangerous; the demon that has been unleashed or the stress they feel from their controlling fathers? As part of Hulu's "Into the Dark" anthology series, Writer and Director Hannah Macpherson brings to life a tale of trust gone wrong. Even though the story will keep you connected, it takes to long to prove it's point. As a genre film, it does not identify with any specific one; not horror, not fantasy, not drama. While the film is slow and unusual for the most part, it's not completely bad. The story, the performances and the direction of the film will have you mesmerized. It will just feel like a very long trip down the road to your destination.
