In the Hasidic community of Boro Park, Brooklyn, a despondent young man, short on both faith and funds, reluctantly agrees to assume the responsibility of an overnight shimmer and fulfill the Jewish practice of watching over the body of a deceased member of the Orthodox community. With only the company of the recently departed and an ailing widow who expresses cryptic reservations as to the man's ability to carry out the task, he soon finds himself exposed to a terrifying haunting within the claustrophobic confines of a home that has become host to a malevolent entity. In what is essentially a one-man show, Dave Davis is profoundly affecting in his portrayal of the hesitant sentinel, exuding an empathetic combination of frayed nerves and timid weariness. Throughout this uncanny night, his vigil gradually transforms into a harrowing spiritual investigation of both his cursed surroundings and his pitiable past - a journey in which the very recesses of his community's collective trauma is confronted. By the surreal and unnerving climax, under the assured auspices of writer-director Keith Thomas - making his feature film debut - the plentiful, hair-raising scares give way to poignant c

The Vigil, film diretto da Keith Thomas, è la storia di un Yakov (Dave Davis), un giovane membro di un gruppo di supporto di Brooklyn disoccupato, molto fragile, con un triste passato e senza un soldo. Un giorno riceve un'offerta di lavoro molto particolare, diventare lo shomer, che nella cultura ebraica indica una persona che veglia su una salma per proteggerla da tutti gli spiriti maligni. Yakov deve vigilare il corpo senza vita di Litvak (Ronald Cohen), un sopravvissuto all'Olocausto, che ha vissuto gli ultimi anni da recluso e in compagnia di una moglie ormai demente.
A man providing overnight watch to a deceased member of his former Orthodox Jewish community finds himself opposite a malevolent entity, in writer-director Keith Thomas' electrifying feature debut.
