The premise
A mysterious man arrives at the offices of an FBI agent and recounts his childhood: how his religious fanatic father received visions telling him to kill people who were in fact "demons."
Horror Vault's take
A stranger walks into an FBI field office with a chilling confession — a window into a Texas childhood shaped by a father who believed God had chosen him to hunt and destroy demons hiding in human form. Told through layered flashbacks, the film forces viewers to question where divine conviction ends and madness begins. Director Bill Paxton crafts a slow-burn thriller drenched in dread, where the most terrifying thing on screen may be absolute, unquestioning belief.
