Menéndez, a retired priest who has lost his faith and lives in seclusion, receives a visit
from a friend who asks him to exorcise his daughter.
Kindly remember to like, comment, and subscribe if you like the video.
At the beginning of the movie, we see a man named Menéndez who is being taken somewhere
in a police van.
He was a former Catholic priest who is released from the prison and is now being moved to
a new home.
In the next scene, he is haunted by a lady named Marisa in his dream.
She seduces him and asks him to give her a child, because he has killed her son and sent
him to Hell, and there he is waiting for him.
Then he wakes up and gets a call, in which he says that he still has to fix the condition
of the house and some other things.
Then we see that he has given up his Priest life and started drinking alcohol and we learn
from a newspaper that he was imprisoned because he had a bad exorcism in which a child lost
his life.
And because of that failure, he started having scary dreams.
After this again he gets a call from someone with whom he shares his condition.
Then a man named Sebas comes to meet him whom he had met in jail.
He was a drug addict and Menéndez helped him a lot in jail.
He says that he thinks his daughter Raquel has been possessed and he wants his help.
Menéndez is first reluctant to get involved, but when Sebas tells him that he brought his
daughter a Persian cat, the cat dies after a few days and he got its head from his daughter's
room.
hearing this, Menéndez eventually agrees to meet Raquel and asks him to bring her to
him tomorrow.
Now after he leaves, Menéndez starts opening porn sites but then controls himself.
Then at Menéndez's house comes Merissa who used to come to his house every week.
She did not consider him responsible for her son's death and used to come to help him with
his household chores.
Both of them actually started liking each other.
After this, he gets a call again and he says that he knows why he sends Merissa to his
house every week.
While talking on the phone, he gets very sad and starts crying.
The next day he again wakes up from Marisa's terrifying dream and after getting up he starts
cleaning the house.
Then he sets up the house properly and starts preparing for Sebas's arrival.
During this, he sees the same old newspaper, which makes him think of the old case in which
the child died and Merisa's eye was injured.
Then after some time, Sebas comes to his house with Raquel.
Seeing them, Menéndez again tells Sebas that he will not be able to do this.
Yesterday he was drunk, so he promised him, on which Sebas says that now he cannot back
down or else he will kill himself.
Now Menéndez agrees after seeing all this, after which Sebas leaves Raquel in his care.
Now Raquel is a rebellious young girl and she did not respect her father at all.
Menéndez tells her about the house and then takes her to her room.
Now Raquel is talking to her friend on the phone when suddenly she hears some sound from
the cupboard and when she looks inside it, she sees a hole in it from which someone is
watching her.
Seeing this, she gets scared and after hearing her scream, Menéndez comes there.
When he goes there to check, Raquel tries to run away but the door is locked.
Here Menéndez notices that the cross in the room is turned upside down.
Seeing the door locked, Raquel starts misbehaving with Menéndez and tries to tase him with
a taser, but accidentally tases herself and faints.
Now Menéndez takes her to the sofa and takes off her top and starts smelling her.
After some time, when Raquel regains consciousness, Menéndez brings her tea and says that he
knows that she is not comfortable here.
But her father has left her here for her own good and tells her to trust him.
Then Raquel gets a vision in which Menéndez is suffocating her.
She then tells him that she is going to participate in a dancing competition with her friends,
after which she will leave her house.
While teasing him, she also says that she knows that he had taken off her clothes and
then leaves him surprised and goes to the washroom.
Now she is smoking there when someone tries to open her room door.
She thinks that it is Menéndez, so she asks him out loud from inside.
But Menéndez is down.
After using the toilet, she sees that the flush is not working and something is written
on the toilet paper.
Then when she comes out, Menéndez goes inside on the pretext of fixing the flush and collects
her urine sample.
Later at the dinner table, Menéndez tries to convince her that Sebas is a very nice
person and he is doing all this for her.
Then he shares some of his personal things with her and asks her if anything different
has happened to her.
On which she tells that a boy named Jamie had come into her life but he cheated and
used her.
She starts crying while saying this and Menéndez notices that the cross hanging on the wall
has turned upside down.
Now Menéndez consoles her after which she shows him her seductive dance.
But Menéndez does not feel this right and asks her to sleep and leaves from there.
He then goes to Raquel and they both are about to kiss but Menéndez knocks her unconscious
by hitting her with his head.
Later, when Raquel regains consciousness, she is tied to a chair in a storeroom and
Menéndez is sitting in front.
Rakul requests him to let her go but Menéndez talks to the devil inside her and tells her
to leave her body, or else he will get her out in her own way, which will be very tough.
And then even if he wants to go, he will not be able to go.
He will give her so much pain that she will beg to kill herself.
Now that the Devil can't reveal himself, Menéndez tases Raquel with a taser, which makes his
condition very bad and looks like he is not possessed.
Now even after doing all this, when Devil does not reveal himself, Menéndez decides
to exorcism on him and comes out of the room and calls Sebas for help.
Then he calls the person from whom he used to get regular calls and he tells him everything
and here it is as if he is talking to God.
Then he starts preparing for exorcism, after which we see him in the clothes of the Priest.
After some time Sebas also comes there and asks about Raquel.
Menéndez tells her that he has kept her in the basement.
Sebas tells him that there is a very bad smell coming here, to which Menéndez tells that
he has put on a special incense stick that smells bad but Raquel didn't notice it, which
was the first symptom of her being possessed.
Then he fed her bad meat, which she ate comfortably and from her urine sample, she came to know
that she did not have any disease.
She was speaking unconsciously in some other language and marks are made on her body in
a particular pattern.
All this shows that she is in the possession of some strong demons.
He then shows him some naked photos of Raquel and says that he has to understand that downstairs
is not his daughter but a demon.
Who will not easily leave his daughter.
Then he tells him that they will give too much pain to Raquel, which will cause a lot
of pain to the demon and he will leave her body.
He then asks her to cover her face and tore out some pages of the Bible and give them
to him to read during the exorcism.
He asks him to read Rites in American Accent so that the demon does not know that he is
Raquel's father.
After this both of them go to the basement where Sebas starts reading the rites and Menéndez
tortures Raquel and asks the demon to leave his body.
Now even after all this, the demon is not revealed but Raquel's condition becomes about
to die, which Sebas can no longer see.
He takes off his mask and tells Menéndez that he cannot do this anymore.
Menéndez tries to convince him but before he understands, Rakul calls him.
Now Sebas starts reading again and Menéndez starts to uproot Raquel's nails.
But seeing Raquel in pain, Sebas gets angry with Menéndez and attacks him, and unties
Raquel.
Now free, the Devil reveals himself, causing Raquel to change the color of his eyes, and
he attacks Sebas and throws him away.
His voice had also become very scary.
Then she goes to Menéndez and starts beating him in a suicidal manner, after which she
attacks him and makes him unconscious.
Then after some time when he regains consciousness, he and Sebas are tied to the chair.
Raquel calls someone and asks to come there, and then starts teaching Menéndez by seducing
him.
He also talks about Merissa and her dead child, from which we learn that it is the same demon
who possessed that child.
Then when Sebas regains consciousness, Demon starts seducing him too.
During this, Menéndez frees himself and catches the demon, but he frees himself and sits on
top of him, and starts breaking his fingers.
But then Sebas attacks him with a fire extinguisher, which makes him unconscious.
Then both of them together tie her with a chain and start exorcism again.
Sebas starts reading the rites while Menéndez starts beating the demon.
After some time, he also starts reading the rites, after which the demon comes out of
Raquel's body and takes the form of Menéndez, and Sebas takes away Raquel from there.
Now the daemon starts coming in front of Menéndez by changing his form again and again and tries
to weaken him but Menéndez continues the exorcism after which the daemon comes in his
original form.
Menéndez attacks him due to which the whole house starts shaking and breaking down.
Then Menéndez comes up to Sebas and he defeated the demon.
Sebas asks him to go to the hospital but Menéndez tells them to leave as the police are about
to arrive.
Then he starts leaving from there and while leaving, Raquel says thanks to Menéndez.
Just then a call comes on which Menéndez says that he has done it and another daemon
has come down from here.
He is sharing more things when we see that the wire of the phone is not plugged in.
Then Menéndez is sitting there when in the distance a nun-like figure floats across the
room towards a smiling Menéndez and the movie ends here.
Thanks for watching.
