Tag line:

“Laid in bed crying as her parents told her nightmares aren’t real. What they didn’t know is she would soon become the nightmare.”

The what if:

You can’t hide from your sins. He will get you one way or another. No matter how many times you attend church. Or how many crosses you wear on your body. The bible you sleep next to at night is just not enough. What if it was your precious baby who paid for your sins? That is on your back. What if?

Plot:

A woman who has spent her youth as a sinner, experimenting with sexuality, neglecting to follow the path set down by her excessively religious family, even murdering a man one night whilst under the influence of drugs and alcohol and caught up with the wrong crowd, is now in her late 20’s, is healthy and happy and has fallen pregnant. The baby is born and is named Mia, and all is well. Over the years, strange occurrences play out in relation to the child, injuries, accidents, and disappearances. As the girl reaches her mid-teens, the occurrences become considerably worse, and the girl’s behaviour turns sinister and she begins to exhibit all kinds of violence. By the time the girl is 15 years old she appears to be totally taken over by a paranormal force. With nothing left to do, her parents bolt her into a small room until they kind find a way to cure/exorcise their daughter. They visit a paranormal expert in order to make sense of what’s happening and he soon pieces together that what is going on could be the work of the demon named Lamia, who preys on children, and that the demon must be punishing the mother for the crimes committed in her youth by possessing her child. Back at the house, Mia thrashes her way out of the confined room and escapes, letting her loose to terrorise nearby people. She stabs three young girls and then disappears off into the night. Her parents, still with the paranormal expert, find out that the only way to release the demon from their daughter, is for the mother to confess her sins in the eyes of God in Church. Just as they arrive at church, they are surprised to find that Mia is waiting for them. In a nail biting finale, Mia murders both of her parents and stumbles out of the church. The movie ends as possessed Mia is seen stood in a church doorway covered in blood.
