This is a Spoiler filled review of the film and if you haven’t see the movie then click right here to see the non spoiler review of the movie..

Before we start, you should know that, When this movie was in its editing stage Lionsgate premier stook over the movie and edited the movie with out the permission of the director. They thought they were getting a cop drama movie but the directors vision was different and this lead to the director to disown the film. Now I wanted to the directors work and not his studio edited version of the movie but credit goes to the director because the movie is so well shot that even after the studios came in and tried to ruin it. It is a great watch.Alright So lets get right in to it.

This movie can be divided into 3 parts

First : Isabel’s story

Second :  Cop Drama

Third : some other garbage that happens on the side.

In the beginning of the movie we see that Isabel who wants to go to her home. Her brother in law walks her to the subway. This scene seen is very IMP for the Story

Here he gives her a knife so that she can protect herself. When she is in the subway she sees the floating man. Ok so what really happened here is that officer Cullen rapes her that night and she fights back and kills him. After this traumatic experience she suffers from a selective amnesia where the victim loses certain parts of her memory. She replaces those horrible memories with the floating man who she sees in the subway.

Ok so Isabel loves this guy “jose de la cruz” and they are about to get married soon. So since she is gonna be a part of their family she stays with the de la cruz’s house. But after the death of jose she finds out that  she is pregnant even though she hasn’t been with him for an year. She breaks the news to the de la cruz family but they just think that she wasn’t faithful and they kick her out of the house.  Here’s the sad part because of the social norms in our society the Old lady Olga doesn’t even want to bless the unborn Child but she eventually does. But it is a sad scene.

As the movie progresses you see her interacting with a little girl called Elisa. Elisa is Isabel herself. shestarts seeing her younger self and she even mentions that she liked the name and wanted to be called Elisa.  The First time she sees the Spirit is right after interacting with her younger self. The second time she sees it before she sees her younger self being dragged away by her father. The third time it appears with red body and asks her to talk to rocky de la cruz so that she could go back to the de la cruz’s house. The fourth time when it appears in full red body the danger level is at the highest and she defends herself from her father the same way she fought joey Cullen is by stabbing him. She has been a victim of sexsual abuse by the hands of her father for many years which she never revealed it to her mother either. Spirits are a signs, thatdanger is approaching and her fear comes true when she has to move back to her parents house.The same house where she was abused so many times as a child. The spirits are the dreadful reminder of her abusive father and her childhood memories. She is reminded about this painful truth in the final scene.

Now the cop drama story line is pretty simple and straight but Since the Studio executive stretched the storyline it is filled with unwanted nonsense as well.
