At the beginning of the movie, documentary maker Michael King is seen interviewing a
psychic named Beverly.
He asks her if he ever felt she was preying on someone's superstitions or emotions.
Michael tells her that his wife was killed in an accident after taking her advice to
stay home for her career instead of traveling with him.
He asks her to admit that she’s faking it, but she instead consoles him and asks him
to leave there.
Michael struggles to pick up his life again after the death of Samantha, having his sister
Beth help care for his daughter, Ellie.
He decides to make a documentary to prove that there is no afterlife, in which he offers
himself as a test subject for the darkest supernatural rituals people believe.
He sets cameras in his house that will be rolling 24/7 and if he uncovers anything,
he will have found the first ever documented proof.
He challenges God or the devil to come and get him if they are out there.
He places an advertisement on the internet where people can respond with suggestions
for experiments to prove the opposite of his position.
The first of Michael's internet contacts to visit him is a priest named Gibbons, who claims
that churches are performing exorcisms behind closed doors.
Michael asks him if there is any proof of the demons.
Gibbons claims that when he was 10, his father started taking advantage of him.
He prayed to God, but he never stopped his father.
So he gave up on God and started to pray to the devil.
and then one night his father had a heart attack and died on the spot.
However, Michael says it's just a strange coincidence.
Michael orders a few things online with which he could attempt to call demons, but nothing
happens.
He and his cameraman Jordan visits self-proclaimed demonologist Augustine and his wife Marsha.
They give him grape juice with LSD, and tell him the first method for summoning demons
is by offering the demon something upfront.
The second method entails creating the type of frenetic atmosphere demons are drawn to.
Augustine then hands over him a cup and says they will need his semen.
After this, with the help of psychography, they get a demon picked by him and tell him
that he picked Duangore, commander of 37 legions.
He comes accompanied by the sound of cacophonous music, staying with the conjurer and torture
until madness.
They then bind him to a cross in their cellar and chant spells onto him.
Jordan gets terrified seeing this and Michael trips, but demons do not appear, and Augustine
and Marsha use the opportunity to have sex with each other in his and Jordan’s presence.
Michael contacts a funeral director who claims to be a necromancer.
He tells them they employ a slightly different method than other mediums to raise the dead.
He stitches the teeth of a dead body on his belly and tells him that a freshly deceased
body works best because the soul may still be lingering, and they make it think that
it's still alive.
The more they can make look like the body the soul once inhabited, the better their
chances.
He shows Michael a Sonoran desert toad and tells him that it contains DMT, the most powerful
psychedelic on the planet.
The human body produces DMT and its released when we die.
It helps us to pass the other side, but taking it while we are still living, simulates a
near-death experience.
He then takes him to a cemetery at night, where he wants to transfer the spirit of a
newly deceased person into his body.
He dehydrates Michael with the DMT, and soon it starts to show its effects.
However, Before they are able to complete the ritual, the police arrive.
They run, and while looking for Michael, Jordan hears some voices, and finds Michael under
a trance, saying I don't want to be dead.
He then jumps on Jordan, but comes back to his senses.
Later, he claims that he has seen and felt Samantha.
She was trying to tell him something but he couldn't make out what she was saying.
The next day, they attend a group meeting with a medium named Erica bell.
She gets a very strong signal from a female spirit who passed recently in an accident.
She tries to give a message directly to Michael but has a seizure.
At home, Michael begins suffering from a constant sound inside his head and when he tries to
describe it, something happens to him.
He goes to a psychologist, who tells him he might be going through extreme stress as his
wife died recently leaving him with a little girl.
She tries to get rid of the sound with hypnotherapy.
The session is interrupted because the lights in the room fail, and Michael moves quickly
around and suddenly appears in front of the camera.
Jordan analyzes the camera recording and determines that human vocal cords are not capable of
producing those shouts.
Michael suspects it’s a camera defect but Jordan leaves the documentary.
Later, he tells the voices inside his head are evolving, and if he concentrates, he can
almost tell what it's saying.
Suddenly something hits his room's window and he sees a dead bird outside.
Only then Ellie comes to his room and tells him that she saw a monster in her dream and
it looks like him.
He tells her that it was just a nightmare and asks her to go to bed with her pet dog
Fishbone.
but she says she can't find her.
Now when he comes out to find the fishbone, he sees that the bird is missing from there
and after some time he finds the bird at another place which is being eaten by the ants.
Suddenly he sees a monster on Ellie's window and he immediately runs towards her room and
collides with Beth.
Beth thinks he's looking for Dog and asks him to stop acting like this.
That night, Michael takes the camera to film himself.
Without knowing it, he walks around at night, in one instance feeling Beth while she sleeps,
and we see that he is completely possessed.
The sound in Michael's head begins to appear more often, and is like a talking voice.
He tells the demon that he proved his existence and he believes in him, and asks him to leave,
but the Voice says No, and suddenly his footage on the screen haunts him.
He goes to see Fater Gibbons and the voice tells him to kill the lady.
Then a priest comes there and tells him that Father Gibbons passed a few days ago.
He says he needs an exorcism, but the priest says the church doesn't do that and asks him
to leave there.
He visits the funeral owner to ask for help but he says he warned him something like this
might happen and pushes him away.
He then goes to Augustine and starts beating him saying he did something to him, but he
says it was not real and all for fun.
Marsha puts a gun to his head and asks him to get out of their house.
Later, Ellie comes to his room to play game on his laptop.
He asks her if she misses her mom, and when she says yes, he says she can be with her.
but only then Beth comes there and takes her for a bath.
At night, he unwittingly goes into Ellie's bedroom with a kitchen knife.
The next day, he tells that his eyes are throbbing like mad, and it hurts like hell.
Suddenly he notices blood on his desk and hands, and in a drawer, he finds a bloody
knife with Crawl written on Ellie's photo with blood.
Only then he hears Beth's scream and he runs to Ellie's room and finds their dog, Fishbone,
dead in Ellie's bed.
Michael sends Beth and Ellie away to stay with his best friends, and Because the church
refuses to do an exorcism, he tries to do it at home on his own, but the demon drags
him away.
In his next attempt, A Bible he holds goes up in flames, and the entity in possession
of his body makes him carve a pentagram on his torso and tortures him by throwing him
around the room.
The next day, he tell that he had tried every charm, spell, incantation he can find, but
nothing worked.
The more he tries and fight it, the more it takes over.
Forcing him to do things.
When he sews his injuries the next day, he says that it hardly hurts to insert a needle
into his skin.
It's like none of this is real anymore.
He then shows an ant on his arm, and tell that no matter how many times he kills it,
it appears on his body again.
If he let it crawl on his body, there is only one.
The second he kills it, another one shows up.
The voice in his head demands that Michael kill Ellie.
He refuses and goes after random people instead, unable to control himself.
Michael handcuffs himself to his bed, while the demons torture him for not being able
to make him harm anyone else.
In the morning he finds his hand un-cuffed and bloodied, and when he comes downstairs,
he finds a recording of the events the night before play on TV.
He sees that Jordan came by, finding Michael in bed, and releases him to seek help.
Michael tries to call Jordan, and as the recording distorts, Michael hears his phone upstairs
and finds Jordan dead, hanging from the ceiling.
Later, he watches a recording of Samantha, speaking from a hospital bed after the accident.
She talks about meeting with angels and God and tries to convince Michael to not be worried
for her.
He tries to kill himself, but every time, the entity stops him.
Michael talks to himself and his inner demon about the sounds inside his head, which were
actually the sounds of angels trying to cover up the demon's voice, which he can now hear
clearly.
As he sits in a rocking chair at the front door, the voice in his head tells him: "We're
together now, Michael."
In the morning, Beth comes home with Ellie, and Michael suddenly shuts the door.
He then grabs her and lifts her in the her and kills her by breaking her neck.
Only then Ellie comes there, and he asks Ellie to run from him.
He heads to Ellie, struggling with the demon to stop himself from hurting her.
While demon was trying to find her, she tries to run, but the demon catches her.
Only then Samantha coin spins, and looking into the mirror, he gets momentary control
over himself, and uses the opportunity to throw himself out the window.
He falls and dies while hearing Samantha's voice telling him "Everything will be all
right now".
