Jill Larson delivers a masterclass in horror acting, transitioning seamlessly from a vulnerable patient to a terrifying, malevolent force.
As the narrative progresses, the film uses the symptoms of the disease as a Trojan horse for the supernatural entity. Symptoms that medical professionals might attribute to sundowning or advanced dementia—speaking in tongues, contortion of limbs, violent outbursts—are recontextualized as evidence of possession. The film posits that possession is a metaphor for the disease; just as a demon steals the soul, Alzheimer’s steals the self. The horror arises from the realization that the "demon" was always there, inherent in the disease, waiting to consume the host.
