To round out the list of reviews, Sonja and Claytox shift gear to a more series and heavy topic with director David Stubb’s Belief: The Possession of Janet Moses. A docudrama based on true events in 2007, where a Moari family, believing she was possessed, drowned Janet Moses while she is held down in bed. Respectfully handled, this film is a definite highlight of MIFF and well worth checking out.
More SciFi&Squeam Undead to come.
