I've seen this movie quite a few times, I saw it for the first time when I was somewhat 6 or 7 (Don't know how my parents allowed)
The movie starts with the main character Celia as a child in the grave yard where she meets this young boy named Donavin. Celia gets almost hit that day by a car but she is saved by supernatural forces.
Next we see Celia heading to a party where she is drugged, raped and ends up overdosing and dying. She wakes up in the bathroom where she was raped and sees her dead body. This place is named the Sanctuary that has a protective light that keeps on fading. She has approx 2 hours to escape otherwise the light dies and her soul becomes vurnable.
The rest of the movie is basically her running from soul eaters (Beasts who have to consume fresh souls otherwise they get sent to hell) The soul eaters have the ability to look human and in the movie we see people who were close to Celia (Grandfather, her friend, father and the guy who raped her). Celia also meets her mother and grandmother who have managed to escape the place.
The plot mainly repeats on that point Celia running from soul eaters, getting hurt a lot and finding out that her "Guardian Angel" (She called Donavin that) is evil.
When Celia finds the "Source" (Place where the light originates from and is also the escape hatch of the place) she is told by her mother that to escape she has to prove herself by saving her grandfather.
Celia is also able to interact with the world using mirrors, She even manages to save her best friend who almost gets drugged by the same guys by hitting the cup while she has her hand on a mirror. She uses the same ability to inform her friend that she is dead in the bathroom.
When Celia finally escapes she uses the Ouiji board to tell her friend this message. "When you die, I will come for you" - This part is what makes me come back to the movie, because I get very emotional and start tearing up seeing Celia smile at her friend.
In conclusion while this movie looks like those tacky early 2000s movies with not the best effects. It's worth a watch because the director and actors have but their heart into this movie and it is visible throughout the whole movie.
