A private investigator reads a book of sinister origins and unknowingly puts his daughter and himself in a fight for their lives…and their eternal souls. Private investigator Luke Harding (James Clayton) reads a book of sinister origins owned by seedy crime lord Mr. Fairweather (Matt Frewer). Unbeknownst to Luke, the book is a much sought after supernatural artifact and Fairweather's greatest rival, the enigmatic Mr. Lamont (William B. Davis), begins pursuit of Luke with his trustiest henchmen Boston (Michael Matic) & Jacob (Costas Mandylor). While the criminal underworld is desperate to retrieve the book and harness its power for their own dark agendas, it's evil begins to take root in Luke's apartment; pitting himself, his daughter (Taylor Hickson) and his secret love Monica (Elysia Rotaru) in a fight for their lives… and their eternal souls. having just finished this movie i was left confused since the ending didn't really seem to explain much of anything the acting was meh at best but u could tell they were at least trying the special effects are really what make it worth seeing if your not in for just that i would recommend not bothering with watching the film, the premise of the movie was promising but the delivery was poor the movie felt really slow and kinda boring i found it to be a drag to get threw the hole film and the ending was as predictable as can be(if u want the film u will understand) the tl/dr for it go's as good effects, good idea, poor acting, heavy reliance on clichés, and just boring to watch 3/10 would not watch again Amazing, as engaging and fresh as Pontypool. I watched countless indie horror / thriller / sci-fi movies, but never seen something like this one. The concept of haunted book is nothing new (Evil Dead and such), but here it's done in a different way. <br/><br/>The cast is great, although Clayton looks too young to be a father for a 18 year old girl. Williams B.Davis is spot on, too bad he doesn't have much on-screen time.
