Heidi nodding off behind the wheel of her car


At the beginning, we see Heidi nodding off behind the wheel of her vehicle. The film then plays out it's strange and bizarre tale. I have to admit, I was a little confused by the proceedings and have seen twice. Not sure if it was a literal interpretation of the curse of Salem, or if Heidi had actually died and was trapped in limbo—sort of like Jacob's Ladder, Silent Hill or even the cult horror Carnival Of Souls—and playing the part of the chosen one who would birth the Anti-Christ. The demonic appearance\apparitions normally present themselves to those in these kind of films, to the character that has passed on don't know they have died. Her character could also have been tripping.

Or maybe possessed? In times of stress it's said that one is more "open" to an unclean spirit. I loved the movie. Take care

I honestly think you're trying to read too deeply into this - she's a late-night radio show host. She works hard, takes care of her dog but not herself.

Therein lies the problem - with the impact of the record - she was more susceptible to influence and gets pretty sick with the negativity and possession.

She's quite close to an EVERYMAN for us ladies who have two or more full-time jobs and don't take time for ourselves but pretty close to being a hermit.
