    Storyline

    Edit
    "Either by direct action, or conscious inaction, I have something to do with everyone's death," says the man in Interrogation Room 4, and he might actually be telling the truth. After a gruesome multiple murder, Dean McCallum, a seemingly good and decent man, walks into a cafe covered in blood. Brought in for questioning, detectives Jared Lamb and Reina Herrera begin a series of interrogations to determine if McCallum is a psychopath, serial killer or suffering from multiple personalities. Yet McCallum's increasingly bizarre and unsettling comments, his paranormal awareness of things unknowable to him, and disturbing peripheral occurrences, suggest there may be otherworldly influences. Now they must determine if McCallum could be possessed by demons, be the Devil himself, or if there is something even more shocking to consider. Once the truth is revealed, everything they believe in will be questioned and the foundations of their very reality will be shaken.

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Despite an extremely small budget many of the film's numerous settings were built sets. Director/production designer Daniel C. Nyiri is a scenic designer with experience in making the most out of limited resources. In the film hallways could only open onto one finished room at a time because the building materials (false walls, practical doors etc.) were re-used to save on expenses. One of the film's production offices was transformed into multiple settings. Some furniture purchased for sets was carefully disassembled after shooting and returned to their boxes exactly as they were originally packed (the art dept. used reference photos to insure this). They were then returned for a refund. Other furniture pieces were fake; one detective's unique bed was little more than a fake headboard attached to a false wall, and the scene in the lead detective's bedroom includes a completely false closet constructed just for the shot.
    • Quotes

      Dean McCallum: Between your predisposition to believe force solves anything, your reverence of greed and power, your elevation of stupidity, your pathological avoidance of empathy, and your commitment to cruelty, it's easy to despise your kind. Yes, early on you accepted fairy tales and stories. But you refused to give them up. For growing faster and stronger - and infinitely more virulent - than your ability to reason was your capacity for vanity and ego. But if you want to know a secret, I'll tell you; at your core - on a level more protean than the simple cellular one, in the very invisible dust that binds you to the universe - you all know that you are NOT special. You are NOT unique. But in your refusal to accept the very worthlessness that actually makes you significant, you cling to willful ignorance. You shutter your vision, and shackle your reason, and all in the pathetic delusion that you are more special than someone else and - to prove it - your God loves only you.

    Not Really Much Payoff
    Okay so.. a couple of Cops have an interview with a suspected killer who turns out to be....well something more than just a regular suspect.

    I did like the performance of the 'suspect', but most of the other acting jobs were not that great. And the movie wasn't really that great either.
