It’s unusual to see a haunting based on bona fide historical precedent.
And I don’t mean some faux “exorcism” performed by self-appointed fanatics.
The phenomena here began with Nazi experiments in concentration camps which opened the door for a demonic creature from Jewish folklore to achieve physical form.
The screenwriter works hard to validate this evil spirit with physical, psychological, spiritual, and even Rabbinical evidence from Kabbalistic writings. This level of authenticity makes the whole story ever so much engrossing.
The subtext to all this is, of course, children and bringing them into the world. Most people don’t give much thought to “the unborn” until it’s too late. Women have abortions without a second thought. It’s too bad they find this so easy to do.
It’s too bad they aren’t haunted in their dreams like this young lady, by visions of a tormented young soul. It’s sad that we, as a society, make it so easy for women to have abortions. They go through less pain having an abortion than they do having a live birth itself.
Every young lady contemplating an abortion should see this film. If she cannot muster any qualms, maybe she can do so with a little help. Are we so very confident that consciousness does not begin until after birth?
Can we crack a baby’s skull and extract him in a late term abortion and toss the fetus in the dumpster out back? Does the unborn child at least deserve a proper grave?
Finally, how come the father has never been a part of the abortion debate? Why is abortion strictly the mother’s right?
Should murder be the mother’s responsibility alone?
Is it even right to be able to confess your sin to a minister, then carry on like nothing at all was wrong and you are still a pure, saintly virgin?
