Good news: Evil demons aren't the only ones that possess people. Sometimes, benevolent spirits do, too. Bad news: It can be really difficult to tell the difference. This week, the crew heads to rural Thailand for a haunting mockumentary on shamanism and the spirits that surround us. Also, creepy eco-horror and a campy slasher sequel headline new international streaming releases this week.

Motion Picture Terror Scale: 5 (Marcus) / 4 (Grady). Quality: 5/4. Enjoyment: 5/4.
