Horror Mystery Thriller

The basketball coach Clyde and his wife Stephanie divorced a couple of months ago and their teenage daughter Hannah and the girl Emily 'Em' live with their mother and spend the weekends with their father. One day, Clyde stops his car in a yard sale and Em buys an antique carved box and becomes obsessed with it. Em finds the hidden lock and releases an evil spirit that possesses her. Soon Clyde discovers that Em has a problem, but his ex-wife and her boyfriend Brett do not pay attention to him and get a restraining order against Clyde. Clyde seeks out Professor McMannis and when he sees the box, he explains that it is the Dibbuk Box, where a fiend is trapped inside. He also explains that the box should not be open; otherwise the person will be possessed by the spirit. Now Clyde travels to a Jewish community in New York and the rabbi's son Tzadok returns with him expecting to exorcise Em to save the girl.

A girl looks in the mirror after gagging repeatedly. She uses a torch and shines it into her mouth, and two fingers can be seen creeping up her throat.

A woman is seen shaking, with one side of her face drooping. She falls to the floor, writhing and twitching.

Several clicks from bones and tissue can be heard, before she is thrown around the room violently. Her face is then smashed through a glass table, and she lands on the floor.

A teen watches her sister writhe on the floor, and then a large moth flies out of the girl's mouth.

A man's teeth are ripped out painfully by an unseen force- a large deal of blood is shown.

A woman's eyes begin to bleed mysteriously, and in a series of quick flashes she's shown to be thrown violently around a room, at one point hitting a window and smashing the glass, falling to the floor. The woman is later mentioned as dead.

A man has a demon's hand come out of his mouth and push against his face. There is a lot of strobe flashing in the scene, but briefly a demon can be seen climbing from the man and slithering along the floor.

A car is seen driving along a road when a large lorry smashes into it. The crash itself is not shown, but the wreckage is later seen and the driver can just be made out, bleeding from his head upside down.

A girl gags painfully, and her eyes droop very frighteningly.

A girl punches a boy whilst she screams at him. The punches can't be seen, but the painful sound can be heard and the motion is witnessed from behind.

A girl throws glass at a woman, and the woman steps on it.

The girl wields a large shard of glass, the intention to stab the woman. However, she is pulled from her trance and drops the shard to the floor.

Under its power, a woman suffers a horrible seizure: Her face sags and her eyeballs roll back before she begins thrashing about her living roomfinally arching her back until it cracks and then sending her face crashing through a coffee table.

Another woman, bleeding from her eyes, is thrown around a classroomsmacking walls and desks before she's hurled by invisible hands through a closed window. (She presumably falls to her death.)

The dibbuk nearly strangles someone, almost kills someone else with a glass shard and hits several folks with frightful fury.

We see the creature's fingers in Emily's throat and later see it claw its way out of someone's body through the mouth.

A man pulls out all his teeth, leaving his mouth a bloody, gaping maw.

A woman pulls a clump of her own hair out.

A man covered in bandages screams when he sees the box.

When Emily, under the influence of the dibbuk, says some nasty things to her father, something strikes her in the face twice. It's not Clyde, but Em thinks it is, and she screams in fear and horror. "My dad doesn't like me anymore," she confesses heartbreakingly to her beloved box.

Hannah, who sees part of the episode from behind, believes her dad is beating Em as well.

Emily stabs her father's hand with a fork.

Stephanie, barefoot, walks across a floor covered in broken glass.

Brett later plucks pieces of glass from her feet.

A semi plows into a car, leaving a trail of wreckage.
