Long Time Dead

In 1979, a group of demon worshippers in Morocco attempt to summon a Djinn using a Ouija board. The ritual spirals as the glass moves on its own, culminating in chaos. Eight participants die while two survive, setting a dark seed that will haunt future generations.

The film foreshadows that the Djinn's release haunts the decades that follow, weaving a dark thread from the past into a modern London nightmare. Its influence persists, linking the occult catastrophe to events unfolding in the present. This haunting history hints at a danger that won't stay buried.

In present-day London, Liam, Rob, and Webster gear up for a big party at an abandoned warehouse. They are joined by Stella, and Liam’s circle expands with their new roommate Joe, along with Annie, Lucy, and Spencer nearby. The night feels electric, loud, and ripe for reckless choices.

Stella arrives and is drawn into the loose circle that includes Annie, Lucy, and Spencer aboard a nearby boat. The party scene is chaotic and chaotic energy quickly tips toward curiosity and risk. The ensemble dynamics set the stage for something ominous to surface.

Spencer suggests testing a homemade Ouija board crafted with a glass and paper. The glass begins to move on its own, provoking a mix of laughter and unease as the group watches. Lucy warns that once a spirit is contacted, it must be kept in motion or risk being trapped or misled.

The board spells out the name Djinn, and Liam is overwhelmed by a traumatic flashback of the cult massacre. The mood shifts from playful to panicked as fear grips the group. They break the glass and scramble to escape the growing dread.

Annie is caught in the Djinn’s malevolent reach and is hurled through a skylight onto a hard surface, dying in a grotesque moment. The party atmosphere collapses into chaos as the reality of supernatural danger sinks in. The survivors scramble to make sense of what just happened.

Back at the apartment, a power outage plunges the building into darkness. Spencer and Webster sneak into Becker’s room and uncover a private archive linking Becker to a past seance conducted by Liam’s father, Paul Brennan. The evidence hints at a larger occult history and stirs questions about what to do next.

The next day, Liam confronts the truth in the hospital where his father lies under treatment. Becker warns Lucy that the Djinn has possessed one of the teenagers and that a banishing ritual must be prepared to drive it out. The warning deepens the sense of danger hanging over the group.

The haunting accelerates as Stella, Joe, and Webster become targets of the Djinn’s influence, their lives cut short in a spiral of violence. The group realizes the threat is personal, immediate, and deadly. Fear tightens its grip as the night presses on.

Lucy, Spencer, and Rob decide to attempt a risky banishing ritual and return to the abandoned factory where Annie died. They steel themselves against fear as they prepare the rite, hoping to end the danger once and for all. The plan signals a final confrontation with the Djinn.

The ritual spirals into chaos as the Ouija board catches fire and explodes. Rob is revealed to be possessed, and Becker arrives to intervene by knocking him unconscious and dousing him in gasoline. Liam attacks Becker in a desperate struggle, and Rob seizes the moment to complete the plan, pushing the group back toward the Djinn’s power.

Liam discovers Lucy dead in an elevator shaft, a stark reminder that the Djinn will enact what it touches. The Djinn reveals its true form and attacks Liam, who wrestles with the terrible entity. He uses an oil lamp to set Rob ablaze, and the explosion that follows claims Liam’s life as well.

In the aftermath, the Djinn possesses Liam’s body and makes a harrowing final appearance at the hospital to torment Paul Brennan, burning him as the screen darkens. The film closes on the sense that the Djinn’s legacy continues to move through generations. The living are left to reckon with what was unleashed.
