Quotes
The Mulla: So young... have you done anything to cause this? Treating young ones is more difficult. They need a miracle. But the good thing is... they are unaware of being possessed. Are you a Muslim?
Maryam: Of course!
The Mulla: Not every Muslim... is a Muslim.

Thoroughly Enjoyed This!!

A great little short about a woman seeking some spiritual advice in regards to her sons possession, don't want to spoil too many details but the cinematography and sound design were great.

Great narrative and it did keep me on the edge, there is also an anxious flashback scene which worked very well.

I didn't expect a shocking horror film, it was much better and it definitely had me thinking about past experiences, the acting was also convincing.

The ending will have you put all the pieces together and leave you with the creeps.

Would love to see more stories like this, maybe a series of short-films or even a full series based on this!!!
