A young family experience supernatural happenings in their new home. After the family pet is butchered and the children have been attacked in their beds a non believer must play devils advocate to the deadly unseen evil by taking a life in order to save his families.

A father must save his family from a haunting in their home linked to a massacre that occurred years before. With one of the original victims surviving (INCITING INCIDENT?), the father, a non-believer, down on his luck and unable to afford to move away, must play devil's advocate to the deadly unseen evil in order to? deliver the original life and save his family.

Thanks Nir. I get what you mean.

DPG, the theme is "A man realises the only way to save his family is to sacrifice his humanity by killing an innocent." the movie leads up to the murder as part of the climax chronicling the incidents that drive him to this course of action.

Agree substantially with Nir Shelter.

I like stories that pose genuine dilemmas for protagonists.? But I'm not sure that is the case here.? As Nir Shelter said, he seems to have the option? of vacating the premises, move his family out.? End of dramatic problem, end of dilemma, nobody has to die, right?? If the protagonist cannot take that option, there has to be credible reason why and I don't see what it could be.

Yes, moving out means financial disaster, the loss of every penny he's sunk into? the property, and the mortgage he is still obligated to pay off.? I can see where that delays him, but ultimately it comes to a choice between between life? (move out) and death (stay).? It's a no brainer choice, so it's not a true ethical dilemma.
