At first, the forceful intervention seems to be making headway, but as the night wears on, what appears to have been an obvious case of alcoholism takes a demonic twist. A dark entity surfaces and methodically turns the group against each other; Tom being the primary target.

The Intervention is an ambitious low-budget horror film from first-time director/producer/screenwriter Shannon Hile, who sent along the poster and the exclusive pics seen at the bottom of this page.

I felt it would be perfect for a horror film, exploring demons—an addict’s inner demons.”
