I watched this at my brother's recommendation. I wasn't sure what to make of it, or what it would even be about-but I found myself inamoured with the plot unfolding before me on the screen.
The set-up is simple enough. Dr. James Martin is tasked with determining if a prisoner is to be executed or if they're insane and should instead be sent to a mental health wing for treatment.
What comes after is a slow-burn but pulse-pounding cat and mouse game. The prisoner states he's a demon, and the fun begins.
I won't spoil anything here because, as is often the case with these films with a small cast and set in one(ish) location, the dialogue tells the story and to reveal anything muddies the waters. I recommend going in blind and making up your own mind.
For my money, Chuck Konzelman & Cary Solomon crafted a smart thriller here that keeps the audience guessing, and Sean Patrick Flannery delivers a standout performance. Check this one out.
