What happens

Lovely Molly is a 2011 American supernatural horror film directed by Eduardo Sánchez, co-written by Sánchez and Jamie Nash, and produced by Haxan Films, the production company behind The Blair Witch Project (1999). The film initially had a working title of The Possession before being retitled. The plot follows newlyweds Molly and Tim Reynolds as they move into Molly's childhood home, where repressed memories of abuse and a malevolent demonic presence begin to unravel Molly's sanity. The film stars Gretchen Lodge in her feature film debut, alongside Johnny Lewis and Alexandra Holden. Lovely Molly blends found footage and conventional cinematography, and its score was composed by the post-rock band Tortoise. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2011 and was released theatrically in the United States in May 2012 by Image Entertainment. Critical reception was mixed, with a 46% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, though several critics praised Lodge's "transformative performance" and favourable comparisons were drawn to Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965).
