When a young nurse played by starring Elizabeth Lail discovers she only has three days to live she discovers that a demonic figure is haunting her, and has to find a way to save her life and that of her kid sister before time runs out. This teen horror movie isn't actually that bad (it's pretty topical tapping into contemporary fears about online content and features characters you actually kind of care about), but it's nothing you haven't seen before. P. J. Byrne from The Wolf of Wall Street has a fun role as a demon battling priest, and Peter Facinelli from the Fox series Fastlane and the film adaptations of the Twilight novels plays a sleazy MD. A random generator death app that looks exactly like the one in the film was built and uploaded by developer Ryan Boyling after he watched the trailer, and is available for both iOS and Android. It even reached the number one spot in the App Store charts in October 2019.

Dennis Wheatley's black magic novel gets the Hammer horror treatment, with Christopher Lee relishing the chance to play the good guy for once as the Duc De Richleau, an authority on the occult who does battle a group of Satanists (led by Charles Gray) for the soul of his friend. Made the same year as Rosemary's Baby, it was one of a number of films that brought Satan out of the shadows during the onset of the Summer of Love and is one of Hammer's best movies. Directed by the legendary Terence Fisher (The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Dracula (1958), The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959) and The Mummy), from a screenplay written by Richard Matheson (of I Am Legend fame, the novel that spawned Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price, Omega Man with Charlston Heston and I Am Legend with Will Smith), it received praise from Wheatley himself and Christopher Lee said in interviews that it was one of his favorite onscreen performances. The cast includes Niké Arrighi as the sexy satanic neophyte Tanith Carlisle and Sarah Lawson and Leon Greene. The grinning Goat of Mendes in the film was played by Eddie Powell, who was Christopher Lee's stunt double in Hammer's 1958 adaptation of Dracula.
