A Demon Within

A Demon Within is a horror film from 2017 directed by Ayush Banker and Justin LaReau. The film stars Charlene Amoia, Clint Hummel, and Patricia Ashley as a family struggling with an evil presence that has possessed their daughter.

The movie opens with a scene of a young girl named Lily (played by Aurora Ashley) playing alone in her room while her parents are downstairs. The room suddenly goes dark, and Lily starts screaming. Her parents run upstairs to find her unconscious on the floor. They rush her to the hospital, where doctors are unable to determine what caused her sudden collapse.

We then meet Lily's parents, Julia (Charlene Amoia) and Robert (Clint Hummel), a couple struggling to keep their marriage together. Julia is a successful writer, while Robert is unemployed and spends his days drinking.

As Lily's condition worsens, Julia and Robert become convinced that something evil is happening. They consult with a priest (played by Patricia Ashley) who confirms their suspicions that their daughter is possessed by a demon.

Julia and Robert are initially hesitant to believe in the supernatural, but as strange things begin to happen in their home, they become more and more convinced that there is an evil presence at work. They enlist the help of a team of paranormal investigators, who set up cameras and other equipment to capture any evidence of the demon's activities.

As the investigation progresses, the team begins to uncover disturbing information about the history of the house and the previous occupants. They also discover that there may be more than one demon at work.

The film is a classic horror story, with plenty of jump scares and tense moments. The acting is generally good, with Charlene Amoia and Clint Hummel delivering solid performances as the concerned parents. The special effects are also well done, particularly the scenes involving the demonic possession.

One of the strengths of A Demon Within is its pacing. The film builds tension slowly, with each new piece of evidence adding to the sense of unease. The final act is particularly intense, as Julia and Robert face off against the demon in a thrilling showdown.

Overall, A Demon Within is a solid horror film that will satisfy fans of the genre. While it doesn't break any new ground, it delivers plenty of scares and an engaging story. The film's strong cast and well-executed special effects make it a worthwhile watch for horror fans.
