A young boy, Hee-Joon is possessed by something unspeakable. The priest meant to help him is nowhere to be found. Sister Yunia, a fierce, unyielding nun knows the rules that she’s not supposed to do this. And she absolutely does not care.

She continues to find ways to save Hee-Jon, despite she is not allowed to. She finds a reluctant partner, Sister Mikaela who also shares a gift—one can hear spirits, the other can see them. 

But this is more than a haunting; it’s a battle, and the Church won’t allow them to fight it. Their adversaries aren’t just demons. The very institution they serve forbids them from performing an exorcism. The psychiatric priest, Father Paolo, believes Hee-Joon can be treated medically—until the evidence proves otherwise. He even forbids Sister Mikaela from seeing and working together with Sister Yunia.

Not letting those restrictions stop her from saving Hee-Joon, Sister Yunia ropes Sister Mikaela into helping her take Hee-Joon from the hospital so that they can take her to see a Buddhist shaman to help them save him.

Are their faiths, albeit different, strong enough to save Hee-Joon?

MY REVIEW

What I Like:  

• Another look into a unique belief in the world. And this time combating possession. I A great delivery from the cast.

What I Don't Like:

• Short screen time for possession. Wish they were longer. 

Will I Watch It Again: Yes.   

Overall: 4.4/ 5.0
