Inspired by terrifyingly true events...When demons infest the cell phone of a troubled teenage girl, her demonic possession soon follows, forcing her atheist parents to seek the help of a Catholic priest in order to survive the unspeakable evil taking over their lives.

Join us at SSMN this July to celebrate the trailblazing, sexy, and tough performances of Pam Grier. In a sampling of films on different spectrums of her iconic career, we think you'll agree, Grier brings something remarkable and uniquely "her" to these titular roles. Whether it's a cornerstone of the blaxploitation era or a mainstream crime comedy by one of America's most famous directors, nobody pulls it off like Grier.
