Synopsis
The Assent (2020) is a horror-thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Pearry Reginald Teo and starring Robert Kazinsky alongside veteran character actor Peter Jason, with Tatum O'Neal in a supporting role.
Joel, a young single father, starts noticing things wrong with his small son — behavioral shifts, unexplained events in the house, a creeping sense that something has moved in. Father Lambert shows up: a priest who spent eight years in prison after his last exorcism patient died. He tells Joel the possession is real and the window to stop it is closing.
The film earns its dread through sustained pressure rather than jump scares, and the ending implicates Joel as much as the boy. The tagline — "It feeds on the darkness within" — is the whole thesis. Stream The Assent (2020) online on iFILM.
