Während er zur Beerdigung seines Vaters in die ländliche Appalachen fliegt, verliert Marquis (Omari Hardwick) in einem heftigen Sturm die Kontrolle über das Flugzeug, das ihn und seine Familie transportiert. Er wacht verletzt auf, allein und gefangen auf dem Dachboden von Ms. Eloise (Loretta Devine). Diese behauptet, ihn gesund pflegen zu können durch eine Boogity, eine Hoodo-Figur, die sie aus seinem Blut und seiner Haut gemacht hat. Unfähig, um Hilfe zu rufen, versucht Marquis verzweifelt, ihre dunkle Magie abzuwehren und sich von ihr zu befreien, um seine Familie vor einem finsteren Ritual zu retten, ehe der Blutmond aufgeht.

A watchable horror film on the theme of Voodoo and Black Magic. A man and his family crash in the Appalachian Mountains and wake up in the bed of a strange community practicing black magic rituals. Nicely filmed, quite suspenseful, and the main character is a likeable guy to root for. It's a shame that in terms of gore the film doesn't offer as much as the theme would demand, but it's definitely a film worth watching if only for the not-too-common topic. Definitely a better genre piece than the similarly-themed The Death of Me. Pros: a likeable protagonist and decent bad guys, black magic, Voodoo, rituals, decent cinematography and good pacing. Cons: lack of gore. While the film doesn't offend, it doesn't really pull anything off. 6/10.

After a very long time, I didn’t have to wonder why a film had a black cast. It just had to be black, white actors would seem like Elba in Valhalla. I enjoyed the story for quite a while, it had a decent atmosphere, but then came the plot goofs caused by ignoring logic and the film started falling apart towards the end. 3*-
