Black Mandala is proud to present THE CONTAINMENT, directed by Jack Zagha Kababie and Yossy Zagha, a chilling supernatural horror that blends psychological terror with demonic possession, all set against the backdrop of deep family trauma.
A young girl is consumed by a terrifying entity, its grip tightening with every passing day as she desperately fights to reclaim her own soul. Her mother turns to doctors, exorcists, and so-called experts, but none can expel the darkness festering within her.
As the horror escalates and the line between the supernatural and reality begins to blur, a devout nun steps forward to confront the evil. But as she delves deeper, an even more horrifying truth emerges—one that suggests the greatest threat may not come from the demon itself, but from something far more insidious, something no prayer can save them from.
