In an Indian colony, experiments with the deeper subconsciousness are taking place in which, when in a trance like state, people are connecting to the darkness in there soul. The subjects are going deeper than before and the problem is what they bring back from “the other side”. The three stories revolve around the “Taylor Eriksson Group” (not a logistic company in Brighton) and the subjects pay a terrible price for tinkering with the netherworld goddesses.

The first part, Shakti, follows the story of a girl in a mental institution, Elizabeth Steinberg, who has a visit from a woman called Tansu Yilmaz, supposedly writing an article about the death of the mad woman’s therapist. An invisible spirit reeks havoc on anyone who pisses her off and in a very bloody sequence the writer gets her just deserves. The second, Devi, follows the story of Robin Borg, a speed freak. A young guy who has an anger and violence problem and is sentenced to 15 hours of psychotherapy. He is referred to Dr Steiner, who has a great reputation of solving such problems. With a bit of a nudge in the right direction the therapy starts off ok and the doctor persuades Robin to start the programme but at what cost. The third and final chapter is Kali. More therapy, a woman joins an outsider therapy group and claims to have an invisible creature clinging to her back. She is hunched over so the faith healer goes to work to release her from this invisible force. During the process the faith healer releases her from this burden but notices a dark shadow that runs off across the hallway into the darkness. The faith healers wife goes down to the cellar, where she literally gets her brains smashed out by this force. The faith healer and the woman go to investigate but get trapped in the cellar with this demonic apparition.

The film opens with a woman who cuts her own eyelids off so she can see and if this wasn’t enough the blood and guts come thick and fast all the way. A fast moving movie and not your usual run of the mill trilogy with some great gore and edge of the seat intenseness. Personally, my favourite section is the second which has a macabre twist and eye squinting scenes. A great movie in its own right and a great start to the “frightfestpresents” label. So if you’re into something different check this out!
