This horror film is inspired by the dybbuk legend. In Jewish folklore, the dybbuk is the demonic spirit of a dead person that can inhabit the bodies of living people. The movie's protagonist is Casey (Odette Yustman), a college student who has nightmares and is haunted by a malevolent spirit. Investigation leads to a Holocaust survivor (Jane Alexander) and a clue involving Nazi experimentation on twins. Casey seeks help from a rabbi (Gary Oldman), and he decides to attempt an exorcism. The film has impressive special effects and the dialogue "Jumby wants to be born now."
