Plot
Secluded, home-schooled teenager Emma's uncontrolled behaviour causes her to believe she is possessed by the Devil. When terrible things start to happen to her friends and family, her parents grudgingly call in the help of her uncle, who is a priest, to drive out the evil spirits.{{Cite web|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/35996/be-compelled-look-exorcismus-art-and-stills|title=Be Compelled to Look at Exorcismus Art and Stills|publisher=DreadCentral}}
