What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Megan Reed works alone in a hospital morgue basement while the possessed corpse becomes increasingly threatening.
The hospital morgue, disfigured body, autopsy environment, and visible physical deterioration provide the film's central horror imagery.
The film begins with an exorcism but places its main conflict in a hospital morgue rather than a church or domestic setting.
Megan's drug rehabilitation background is part of her characterization as she faces visions and danger during the night shift.
