An orthodox Jew who’s left the strict denomination is asked to sit vigil overnight in the Brooklyn home of a deceased congregant, in keeping with orthodox tradition. There’s a demon in the house and/or he may be hallucinating badly. Quiet and moody enough to be engaging for the first half, especially some of the vague shots of maybe-there’s-something-there-and-maybe-there-isn’t in the dark, but it wears thin, feels like something I’ve ultimately seen before. Interesting to see a horror movie that’s half in Yiddish, though. Also, decent lo-fi minimal synth score.
