Paranormal Entity

A notice reveals that Thomas Finley has been convicted of raping and killing his sister, and murdering Dr. Edgar Lauren, a psychic. He claimed a demon committed the murders, and he is sent to prison where he ultimately commits suicide. The opening establishes the tragic backstory that haunts the family.

Ellen, their mother, believes she is contacting her deceased husband David. The family senses a demon is haunting them, creating an ominous atmosphere in the home. The idea of a supernatural force sets the stage for the haunting to unfold.

After Ellen's attempts to reach David, the family experiences a series of terrifying events as Samantha becomes a primary target. The entity's presence escalates with violent attacks on Samantha, signaling a malevolent force at work in the house. The family grows more convinced that something unseen is tormenting them.

Ellen writes something on a piece of paper and crumples it; Thomas finds the note under Samantha's pillow spelling 'MARON'. The discovery hints at a demon's name linked to the haunting and deepens the mystery. Thomas begins to suspect a supernatural cause behind the events.

Thomas rigs traps around the house using bells and wire while Ellen and Samantha stay at a hotel for safety. He hopes to trigger and trap the intruding force when the bells ring. The plan marks a shift from passive fear to active defense.

The wire and bells are ripped from the wall and hurled at Thomas, showing the demon's power to bypass his defenses. He locks himself in a bedroom as the demon bangs on the door. The haunting proves dangerous enough to threaten the entire household.

Thomas receives a frantic phone call from Ellen, who is hysterical after the demon follows them and attacks Samantha. They return home to find Samantha in pain and in distress. The family is pulled deeper into the nightmare as the haunting intensifies.

Thomas finds Samantha in the attic, standing in a trance wearing minimal clothing and unable to remember what happened. The scene underscores the demon's control over her body. Ellen wakes to thuds outside and is briefly seen with a knife before retreating to her bedroom.

Thomas is told of Samantha's trauma and rushes to the bathroom where she lies in the tub, traumatized and exposed. Ellen wakes to noises and is seen with a knife in the living room before retreating. The family edges closer to a breaking point as the danger escalates.

Ellen slits her wrists and is found with the weapon still in hand before being taken to the hospital. She is later revealed to have died by suicide after hearing of her children's deaths. The tragedy compounds the sense of hopelessness surrounding the house.

The psychic Dr. Edgar Lauren arrives to help and explains that a powerful dark entity inhabits the home and targets Samantha. He identifies Maron as a nightmare-like demon and offers a plan to evict it. The scene sets up the confrontation as the family seeks relief from the haunting.

During an attempted exorcism, the camera records Samantha levitating in her room and being raped by an invisible demon. Thomas fights to intervene, but the assault continues as chaos erupts around him. The sequence ends with a heavy presence closing in on Samantha's lifeless face.

Thomas is charged with Samantha's rape and death and is sentenced to life in prison. Not long after, he commits suicide, ending his role in the tragedy. The events leave the audience with a sense of guilt and unresolved horror surrounding the house.

It is revealed that Ellen also commits suicide after hearing of her children's deaths. The family is annihilated by the demonic force that would not release its grip. The tragedy leaves a lingering sense of doom as the attic recording remains a chilling relic.

A year later, the recording Thomas made is found in the family's attic, suggesting the horror was captured and could haunt future generations. The film closes with the sense that Maron may still lurk within the house. The unresolved fate lingers as a warning about the power of the demon.
