Three days later, they are found wandering in the woods. Angela’s father (Leslie Odom Jr.), questions how much they remember about what happened to them during the three days they were gone. Although they claim to remember walking endlessly, their behavior suggests otherwise. Angela’s father contacts Chris Macneil, an experienced person when it comes to demonic possessions, in hopes of saving the girls. This movie is rated R for violent content, disturbing images, language and sexual references.
