Steeped in ancient Jewish lore and demonology, THE VIGIL is a supernatural horror film set over the course of a single evening in Brooklyn's Hasidic Borough Park neighborhood. Low on funds and having recently left his insular religious community, Yakov reluctantly accepts an offer from his former rabbi and confidante to take on the responsibility of an overnight "shomer," fulfilling the Jewish practice of watching over the body of a deceased community member. Shortly after arriving at the recently departed's dilapidated house to sit the vidil, Yakov begins to realize that something is very, very wrong.

Citas
Title Card: For thousands of years, religious Jews have practiced the ritual of 'The Vigil' - When a member of the community dies, the body is watched round-the-clock in shifts by a Shomer, or watchman, who recites the Psalms to comfort the deceased's soul and protect it from unseen evil. This watchman is typically a family member or friend, but there are paid Shomers... Hired to sit the Vigil when no one else can.

A Beautiful Film About the Real Demons of the Past

Tense, atmospheric and at times, genuinely scary, the movie has a great emotional and essential story about trauma and its manifestation. Told from the perspective of a man traumatised, himself, the movie explores the dark history of anti-semitism. I felt invested in the emotionally resonant story about loss and hope. I would just complain about the lack of threat by the demon throughout second half, making the proceedings feel less impactful. And also, it is not a really scary film, per se, but there are moments of gold here that work.
