Possession, Paranoia, and Pure Dread: Black Mandala Unleashes The Containment

The devil doesn’t need permission to walk through the front door, and in The Containment, it doesn’t knock—it takes.

Black Mandala is back at it again, serving up another nightmare-laden descent into supernatural horror, this time with The Containment, the latest from directors Jack Zagha Kababie and Yossy Zagha. This isn’t just another possession flick—it’s a full-throttle psychological gut-punch wrapped in family trauma, where the horror goes beyond mere exorcisms and straight into the marrow of human despair.

A young girl is slipping away, consumed by something vile, something ancient—something that won’t let go. Her mother, desperate and spiraling, calls in every so-called expert she can find: doctors, priests, exorcists. They all fail. The entity festering inside her daughter isn’t just another demon—it’s something worse. Something no rite can purge.

Enter a devout nun, the last hope for salvation. But as she digs deeper, what she uncovers is far more terrifying than a simple case of possession. The real horror here isn’t just the demon—it’s the truth.

WATCH THE TRAILER—IF YOU DARE.

From a script by David Desola and Yossy Zagha, The Containment boasts a stacked cast including Fernanda Romero, Jack Gouldbourne, Alice Coulthard, Roger Cudney, Darren Clarke, Gia Hunter, and Edmund Dehn. The film’s oppressive, skin-crawling atmosphere is brought to life through the lens of cinematographer Antonio Riestra, with a nerve-shredding score by Edy Lan.

This is horror the way it should be—unrelenting, claustrophobic, and dripping with dread.

Spread the fear. Share the trailer. Let the nightmare spread.
