The movie is basically a boy gets possessed as a kid by his mother and her coven's Satanic ritual. For some reason - which is never explained - when the boy grows up, as an army sergeant(?) he keeps the demon at bay through self-flagellation. There's a scene where he is accused of inappropriate behavior against one of his female cadets which is never explained or explored. The entire movie is overacted, boring, poor storytelling. Watch it only if you have literally nothing else to do.
