Sixteen-year old Tess has suffered an arduous past. She s been diagnosed with an assortment of mental ailments first discovered when her mother, Jessica, found Tess banging her head against the wall when she was just five. Now, the latest medication Tess has been taking seems to be working and Jessica chooses to move them to a new town for a fresh start. But just as Tess begins to find comfort and hope in her new surroundings, hallucinations begin involving a dead girl, Lucy who was recently killed in a car accident and whose picture Tess finds at a memorial by the side of the road. The hallucinations intensify as Lucy seems to be taking over Tess s mind and soul. Doctors can't help her, and neither can the local priest, so it's left to her single mother to fight for her daughters' soul. (Arrow Films)

As a début, Anguish shows that the director knows how to lead actors, create atmospheric scenes and set the mood with the soundtrack. He also knows how to write a script with a fairly smart plot arc, with high potential for an intense emotional outcome. He is able to take on the horror theme of possession from untraditional angle. He knows all of that, but the result is still terribly boring. Objectively, Anguish deserves some praise, but subjectively, the film didn’t do it for me, even if I’m usually more generous than others towards similar indie genre movies. It is promising, and I’m looking forward to the next film by Mallhi. This time, however, the thumb will have to remain horizontal.
