A small group of Catholics led by an ailing priest believe that Satan intends to become man, just as God did in the person of Jesus. The writings of a possessed mental patient lead them to Peter Kelson, a writer who studies serial killers. They think it’s his body Satan will occupy. The youngest in the group, a teacher named Maya Larkin, goes to Peter to investigate further and to convince him to believe in the possibility of Evil incarnate. —IMDb

Director

Janusz Kaminski

In the United States from 1981, Polish-born Janusz Kaminski graduated from Columbia College, and thereafter recieved a BA in Film from the AFI. His debut as a cinematographer occurred with 1988’s Lisa, which won him the Line Eagel Award at the Illinois Film Festival. Kaminski’s Hollywood career was largely confined to programmers like Terror Within II until the early 1990s. In 1993, Janusz Kaminski won the Academy Award for his eloquent black-and-white photography for Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List (1993), filmed in Kaminski’s native Poland. He has since continued working with Spielberg on The Lost World: Jurrasic Park II (1997), Amistad, which garnered Kaminski an Oscar nomination, and most notably, Saving Private Ryan. —allmovie guide

Oh My. This movie was bad. And it really is a shame too, because there were obviously lots of talented people involved. The movie LOOKS amazing. The cinematography and editing is top knotch. The cast is good too, with Winona Ryder, John Hurt, Elias Koteas, etc. Unfortunately, the script is simply laughable. It doesn't matter how manny talented people are onboard, if the script sucks the movie sucks.
