A troubled boy Bobby Rullo (Danny Lopes) is bothered by his mother's death. While outside near a park he is flying his electric airplane which he accidently kills a Nun. What he did while doing this he unleashes a chain of supernatural events that lead him into the pits of Hell.

A nice start to the film with an elderly woman whom of course is Grandma Matilda is hearing a sound from her 4 year old grandson. She goes in and checks on him while someone is dead on the ground with a birthday cake splattered.
A good impression to a horror start but this 4 year old looked a little too old to be the age he was.
A catholic ceremony is happening in which we spot some nuns lighting their candles but one of them won't be lit. Of course this leads to what the terror will unfold later on.
Meanwhile, the teenage boy from the beginning whom is Bobby is playing with his electric toy airplane as this was a nice focus. Enough to realise that something terrifying will unravel.
Sister Madeline is outside walking and the horrifying moments happen to her. Yet, it isn't as shocking or surprising like it was supposed to have been. Oh well.
Matilda receives a call about her grandson as to what has happened. While watching the outcome here she is coughing heavily. She also has a hard time keeping up with what was going on. Also she has mood swings. This for sure drew me in wondering if she will be okay or not.
A nice strong discussion with a minister towards Bobby as to what has happened. This scene was well done along with good camera shots on the two of them having a discussion.
Matilda demands her son to come home as she hears something in the room where the tragic moment happened during the beginning of the story. We hear sounds coming from it and are hesitant opening this door. Certainly left a chilling moment as to what's behind it. However, it's a bit of a disappointment later on.
At the catholic school a well remembered horror situation happens to one of the Nun's in which they place some scissors down. A nicely focused shot on this as well as this object coming to life and attacking her.
The other Nun's are locked out and try to find the right key to let themselves in to rescue her. Of course in any horror flick it's too late to do anything. Definetly kept me watching in suspense. A well done scene.
Bobby is in class in which he spots out the window a funeral car outside as well as a ghostly presence of Sister Madeline staring outside at him. This moment for sure adds some mild terror to the story.
A dark humoress moment happens to him as to what he does to his pants with the class laughing at him.
Then Bobby is sent to a room at the boarding school with well concentrated shots on him feeling a little sick as well as losing his mind sitting on a couch. He spots a picture of a Nun changing. This of course was a memorable scene to watch unfold.
While he is sleeping a twisted situation occurs in which dirt is dumped on him with plants and other objects swarming around him. This leaves a fantasy type of elements apart from the horror involved in this story. This scene looked well done.
While he's dreaming things really caught my attention wiht him as 4 years old with his mother and Grandma on Christmas morning as he is about to open his present. The mom acts cold telling him to open his present which leaves a chilling mysterious feel to this situation.
Then he is full grown in some sort of a cage in his room with his Mom wickedly squirting baby formula on him in a bottle. This was the most memorable moment in the story and bizarre too. Nicely focused camera shots on all of this.
When he wakes up he spots something horrifying from his window with this Sister Madeline burned up and acting insane. She also torments him in other areas which is a great touch to everything along with everything else in the story.
He is reported missing so his Father and Grandma goes to see a psychic to find out his whereabouts in which this person acts intense on stuff. The interacts looked very powerful to watch as to what is said here.
Bobby is in a wooded area running for his life as he is tormented by Sister Madeline as this time she has a demonic face and terrorising him. While all of this is happening he spots a tree with Christmas lights as well as a big present. He carefully goes to this object in which this situation has a creepy feel to it all if he touches it.
While running away he is near a pit that he saw earlier with a hellish red light glowing from it with smoke. Another terrific touch to everything especially since the story was coming to an end.
Bottom line is that Dante Tomaselli did an impressive job in his feature film debut. He for sure had a 70's surrounding look to his story which is what I like. A very horror art type of flick. It is rather confusing to understand what's going on but alot of great effective moments nonetheless. Knows how to make this one watchable all the way through.

The acting well performed in which we have Irma St. Paule (Grandma Matilda) with her accent which sounds very strong when speaking it. Also does a good job while feeling sick in certain scene's which comes off believable. She also does well with her upsetting or fearful reactions to different situations. She is probably the best in the cast.
Christie Sanford (Sister Madeline / Mary Rullo) was another great performer. Does a great job by acting fierceful and creepy. Was a true force of nature as well as speaking coldly and viciously. Very energetic when being taunting and getting in your face in another spot of the story. Shows off great energy and a good character horror actress.
Danny Lopes (Bobby Rullo) was a bit stiff in his performance however. He tried his best to pull his weight as you could tell. Yet needed a bit of a push. He was okay in other spots when reacting in fear with the terror that surrounds him. Not a terrible performer by any means just had a hard time with some of his characteristics.
Salvatore Paul Piro (Mr. Rullo) for sure had the right gruff attitude in which he was another person with a nice strong personality. Does well acting anxious or aggressive. He for sure studied his role inside out. Plus had the right looks and appeal for the part which shines off on the screen.

Scissors are stabbing a Nun.
Scarred ghostly presence of the Nun appears here and there.
Hands are burned when touvhing an object.

Both family members Dante and Michael Tomaselli composed this piece and did a great job with it. Has low synthesizer demonic type of music which made the scene's seem really effective. Also has gloomy types of airy sounds along with the whooshing. Plus string sounds too along with fast beat sounds. Metal clangings here and there too. Yup they made each horror scene stand out greatly.
