A girl dealing with a relative's illness comes back to continue a new year of college with roommates and hooks back up with her boyfriend who is cheating on her with one of the roommates. They have just moved into a new house.
The character that is central to the story goes to visit a psychic after a night out in a club. The psychic of course gets upset and tells them to go and shortly afterward you see that this girl is first oppressed and scared and then possessed. This is the typical course of most possessions that I have seen in movies or read about in connection to exorcisms. The story is about how it takes over the girl and what happens as a consequence.
This was a Canadian film so I wouldn't recognize most Canadian actors unless they did a lot of American movies so the issue of well known is moot. The acting was actually pretty good. You can tell it is a lower budget film but compared to all the movies of this type I have seen on Fear.net and other stations that predominantly show horror this one was one of the best. Of course all of these movies will be reminiscent of the Exorcist because it is a movie about possession and most often a Catholic priest will end up being involved even though exorcisms are done by other types of clergy and even non clergy. It is much more colorful and more recognized.
The special effects were actually subtle and as to whether they were purely CGI I wouldn't know because I am not in the movie making field but they were good enough to get a rise out of the viewer here and there. All in all it was a pretty good low budget movie in my opinion. If you want a lot of graphic blood and guts this one has some but the whole movie is not about that. It is about the rivalries of the three girls involved. The main character's boyfriend cheating on her and trying to avoid getting caught and the unbelievable to most around her consequences of the protagonists possession partly because she is still a virgin and the demon involved who goes nameless wants a child. The title is intimating it is the devil therefore the reason for the alternate title of Devil Seed. The ending was good and I will leave that for a surprise for those who choose to view this movie.
