The Possession of Joel Delaney
“If you believe, no explanation is necessary. If you don't believe, no explanation is possible.”
Horror
Manhattan socialite begins to fear for her troubled younger brother when he starts behaving bizarrely and he seems to have been friends with a backstreet murderer.
VIBE
A chilling descent into urban dread. This film feels like a fever dream, where the glossy facade of Manhattan hides a rot of occult forces and psychological decay. It's a slow, unsettling crawl into paranoia and the uncanny.
