    Storyline

    Edit
    While flying to his father's funeral in rural Appalachia, an intense storm causes Marquis (Omari Hardwick) to lose control of the plane carrying him and his family. He awakens wounded, alone and trapped in Ms. Eloise's (Loretta Devine) attic, who claims she can nurse him back to health with the Boogity, a Hoodoo figure she has made from his blood and skin. Unable to call for help, Marquis desperately tries to outwit and break free from her dark magic and save his family from a sinister ritual before the rise of the blood moon.

    • Trivia
      At about 29 minutes into the run-time there's a shot of a ceramic penguin figurine, a nod to Misery (1990) which features many similar plot points.
    • Goofs
      At 14:20 Veora Woods tells her son Tydon to "get his sorry ass back in that plane"

      In the scene are the those 2, the aircraft, and the ladder the son brought out to get up on the wing and fuel the aircraft.

      In the very next scene Marquis Woods walks up to the plane and the ladder is gone.

    Better than I thought
    Wasn't expecting a great film. So was pleasantly surprised to find myself intrigued. Admittedly Spell reminds me of Misery, but I still found Spell entertaining. Good watch.
