Is there Hope in the ‘Holy Terror’ Trailer?

I’m not much of a fan of possession stories. They’ve always seemed extremely limited in potential, and what we’ve seen of them – at this point – suggests I might be onto something there. Sure, The Exorcist was a super creepy flick, and sure a few more have come along and impressed in the decades to pass, but ingenuity within the sub-genre seems to generally be an uncommon factor. Having said all that, I like to try and enjoy just about every flick I see, and I’ll be pulling for Rich Mallery and his latest flick, Holy Terror to win crowds over.

If you’re not familiar with the feature, take a peek at the trailer. It may be your thing.

Written and directed by Rich Mallery (SOCIOPATHIA) and executive-produced by Gregory Hatanaka (who helmed SAMURAI COP 2 from a script co-written by Mallery), HOLY TERROR stars MEATBALLS’ Kristine DeBell, Bruce Lee’s GAME OF DEATH’s Mel Novak, Lisa London  (H.O.T.S., PRIVATE RESORT), Kelly Reiter (The Z Virus), Jesse Hlubik (MAY, ALL CHEERLEADERS DIE), Nicole Olson, Scott Butler (WIENER DOG INTERNATIONALS), and Vida Ghaffari (THE MINDY PROJECT, JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE).

Synopsis:

Believing the strange disturbances in their home are their deceased son reaching out from the other side, Molly [Reiter] and Tom [Hlubik] ask a medium [London] to make contact. But instead of their child, the three accidentally invite a vengeful demon to cross over. After the demon violently possesses Molly’s younger sister [Olson], the couple enlists the help of a disgraced priest [Butler] and his mentor Sister Catherine [DeBell] to attempt a dangerous exorcism.
