Soul to Keep (2018)

A group of college aged kids head out to an old farmhouse which was left to Erin and Josh after their grandfather died.  The kids plan to hang out and have a fun weekend.  However the mention that their grandfather drowned in the pond nearby and no one ever found his body makes their stay a little creepy.

The first night there, the lights go out. When Josh goes into the basement and turns on the circuit breaker, he finds a large passageway in one corner of the room.  It leads to another room with a triangle on the floor which appears to be made out of fresh blood. There is some sort of sacrifice in the center of it.

When he calls everyone down to the basement to check it out, they find a book of spells written in Latin. So what would anyone do other than try to conjure a demon?  It's odd that no one seems the least bit disturbed about this find, especially the blood. Who did it? And how did they get into the basement? No one asks.

One of the guys is pressured into being a conduit for the entity they are conjuring. Yeah that sounds like a great idea.  But something goes a little screwy during the incantation and the circle in broken. The conduit says he doesn't want to do this anymore so they go upstairs. But one of the girls stays behind to jump into the circle and read a little more of the spell. hey, great idea.

Josh's girlfriend is deaf so everyone has taken it on themselves to learn sign language, which is pretty considerate.  You know that's going to come into play at some point but it takes awhile for it to pan out.

This is a film to pass the time, nothing new here.
