A small controversy arose because religious groups objected to the film’s implication that a demonic child could be "redeemed" or choose evil without free will being fully destroyed. The director responded that the movie is a fictional metaphor for inherited trauma, not theology.

The story follows Rama, Garin, Farel, Quincy, and Celsi, who survived a spiritual terror at a resort on —a place with a dark history of a family massacre. Rama is desperate because her lover is in a mental hospital and the bodies of her sister Hana and friend Fira were never found.
