When her son Oliver (Logan Creran) is killed in a car accident while she is behind the wheel, Maria (Sarah Wayne Callies) is unable to cope with the loss as the guilt eats away at her and after a failed suicide attempt her housekeeper Piki (Suchitra Pillai-Malik) explains that there may be a way for her to speak with her son one final time using an old Indian ritual at a local temple where her sons ashes can be used to call a tribe of shamans called the Aghori that will use the ashes to link this world to the other side for a small period of time. The one stipulation is that while talking to her son, under no circumstances can she open the door she is speaking through. That night after completing the ritual Maria is speaking to Oliver but during their conversation he begins to request her help as people are trying to take him away, Maria opens the door to rescue him but there is nobody there and the link is lost.

It is not long until some strange occurrences begin in their home and Maria begins to see strange figures appear. The situation begins to escalate and when Piki realises what has happened she tells Maria that by opening the door she has allowed the Aghori access to this world while condemning Oliver’s soul and will need to cleanse herself of all his possessions in order to free him but that the Aghori will want to keep the soul and will fight her every step of the way. As Maria becomes more and more frantic her husband Michael (Jeremy Sisto) begins to question her mental judgement and Maria alone must try and save her sons soul before it is too late.

While the concept was decent there is a case of been there, done that with the movie as the predictable jump scares, religious rituals, a characters slow descent towards seeming madness, mysterious shadowy figures and ghostly spirits are a tick box of standard horror movies so while director Johannes Roberts & cinematographer Maxime Alexandre have thrown in some stunning scenery and some beautiful perspective shots, I felt for the actors as they were given a very basic script to work with. While Callies does her best to evoke some levels of sympathy towards her, the ridiculous actions of the character negated anything I felt as, even taking into account the loss of her some, her actions were very questionable at best. Even as a horror fan I struggled to get anything positive from this one.
