. Deze horrorfilm in kleur gaat over een meisje dat bezeten is van de duivel. De beelden van beide films zijn tegelijkertijd zichtbaar, het Goede en het Kwade worden op deze manier visueel vermengd. Hierdoor verschuift de enigszins eenzijdige context van de afzonderlijke films naar een gelaagder en rijker verhaal dat voor meerdere interpretaties vatbaar is. Omdat de ene film langer is dan de ander en ze beide in een eindeloze 'loop' draaien is de combinatie van beelden altijd verschillend.
