Hounsou plays a Vatican official called in to exorcise the demon.

Mark Neveldine ("Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance") directed the film, from a script penned by Christopher Borrelli, with revisions by Michael C. Martin and director Neveldine.

Kathleen Robertson, Peter Andersson, Olivia Dudley, John Patrick Amedori, Alex Sparrow and Jarvis W. George (as Det. Simmons) also feature in the cast, with Lionsgate’s Pantelion Films on board to release the film domestically.
