電影劇情
1974年，牛津大學教授約瑟夫·考普蘭德（傑瑞德·哈裡斯飾）堅信世間存在着用現有科學無法解釋的超自然現象，為了證明自己的觀點，他集結了布萊恩（山姆·克拉弗林飾）、哈利（Rory Fleck-Byrne飾）、克莉絲（Erin Richards飾）等三名年輕人組成實驗小組，對少女簡·哈珀（奧利維亞·庫克飾）展開研究。此前在簡的身上曾發生過無數匪夷所思的事情，她自稱有一個看不見的朋友艾薇攪擾了她的人生，事件影響甚廣，連官方都承認簡被惡魔附體。
簡徹底地失去了理智，艾薇顯形并且殺害了克裡希與哈裡。然而這都不能阻止卡普蘭的決心。簡向他坦白：她自己就是“艾薇”，逃過了當年的那場火災。布萊恩遭到了卡普蘭的攻擊，醒來之後發現自己被關在了簡的房間。卡普蘭堅信治愈簡的唯一方法就是暫時把她殺死，讓艾薇離開她的身體，然後再讓她複活。布萊恩與卡普蘭打鬥起來，并且趕在太晚之前複活了簡的心髒。然而，簡卻把布萊恩趕出了房間，她在艾薇的作用之下開始燃燒起來。布萊恩隻能絕望而無助地看着簡與卡普蘭在密封的房間中被活活燒死。
布萊恩最終出現在一所瘋人院當中，他把腦袋磕向攝影機，并且喃喃自語“真相就在它的裡面”。電影的結尾，布萊恩伸出手掌，上面顯現了一團火焰。

影片評價
在片子中令人矚目地異常“兇猛”的奧利維亞·庫克，毫無疑問是一顆未來之星。
——《衛報》
What seems like a promising homegrown horror turns out to be just another shaky-cam shock-fest.
——Paul Bradshaw
The latest effort from the rejuvenated British studio isn't excruciatingly bad thanks to consistently impressive acting, but it fails to raise a shudder and squanders the chance to capitalise on their effective chiller The Woman in Black.
——Ben Rawson-Jones
