Elly can’t leave town as soon as she would like, though, and takes a job offered a job by a brusque woman named Alma (Mena Suvari) caring for a catatonic elderly woman who lives in a rural cabin — no surprise, it’s Ms. Ambrose. The usual haunted house/demonic possession tropes occur, yet still Elly remains at the cabin, even after a backstory exposition dump by the returning Mary Lynn. Lewis does well at the
