Two Security guards encounter a dark force which resists the inevitable demolition of the building they are tasked to keep.
Fear of the unknown is etched upon Tiffany’s (Manni L. Perez) face, a security guard, as she finds out she’s expecting a baby in less than seven months. The movie starts out with suspense and paranoia as she rushes to inform the father. They run into one another as he confronts her with his true feelings, nonchalantly without her even mentioning the news directly. The night is near and she’s on duty with her partner, Joey (Chris Bellant) in an old run-down building.
What appears to be just another night of work slowly turns into a night of terror. While Tiffany is trying to handle overwhelming feelings of her pregnancy and in a serious mode, Joey is being himself, also in love with her and trying to get her to laugh any chance he can. He’s out in the open with his feelings of jealousy of her relationship with the father of her unborn child.
In a slow thought-out manner, the plot drags from a suspenseful thriller to more of a morbid fixation on the “unborn.” Hopefully, you can stomach it. Tiffany and her big news have to be held inside as she fights for her life, her partner Joey’s and her unborn baby. Joey keeps having asthma attacks as he’s trying to do his job. It’s not just another night on the night shift, it’s more like the night of investigation, where flight isn’t a choice and to fight is the only way out.
A nursery rhyme plays over and over throughout the scenes, creating an atmosphere where eerie is the name of the game. Children are seen in their worst light. Insane drawings, footsteps, red hands, jars of liquid, sharp objects, flickering lights, black hat, elevator, a run-down building and police calls intercepted by an evil entity paint a picture of the scene for this horror film.
The ending of this one made me shake my head. You will have to hold onto your seat and grit your teeth to get through it and you’ll see the twisted play of the concept of being “unborn.”
Tiffany showcases her internal strength she has to dig deep to find, to bear her personal life and work-life; that calls for her immediate attention. Her feelings about her baby have left her on the edge of her seat, not embracing pregnancy as a woman should. Sometimes in life, you have to give it all you’ve got and even then you still may not know the outcome yet you find yourself in the midst of the trials and tribulations. Overall, it’s rather a reminder that with life comes evil too.
