06. The Thing on the Doorstep
A psychiatrist is seduced by an other worldly spirit in this film adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft story
Stuart Gordon directs.
Edward Derby’s life is fairly ordinary. All that changes when the seductive and troubled Asenath Waite enters his office. Obviously suffering from severe psychological problems, she claims her debilitated grandfather Ephraim is trying to take over her body…literally.
Edward is unable to resist the intense sexual chemistry between them. When Edward and Asenath make passionate love, Edward feels his soul forcibly ripped from his body. While staring back into his own eyes, he realizes this woman’s diagnosis won’t be found in any medical textbook.
After taking over Asenath’s body and destroying her soul, Ephraim sets his sights on Edward’s body as his next host.
Edward must find a way to destroy Ephraim before he loses his own body and soul.
