The Containment (2025)
Darkness has awakened
A girl is possessed by a dark and mysterious entity. She will fight with all the elements at her disposal to get rid of it. Neither her mother, nor traditional medicine, nor a supposed expert in exorcisms, will be able to make the demon disappear, until a nun gets involved in the case and sows a doubt more terrible than the possession itself.
In The Containment, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “spiritual possession”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing possession, faith, doubt, exorcism.
