The Possession of Joel Delaney (1972)

In the heart of New York City's upper east side, the life of affluent socialite Norah Benson (Shirley MacLaine) seems to be the embodiment of perfection. As a divorced mother of two, her life takes a drastic turn when she assumes the role of a maternal figure for her younger brother, Joel Delany (Perry King), following their mother's tragic suicide. However, the once close-knit siblings' relationship spirals into chaos as Joel begins to exhibit alarming and violent behavior, leading to his confinement in a mental asylum. His previous free-spirited nature is replaced with a turbulent, unpredictable personality that shakes Norah to her core, shattering her shield of affluence and naive innocence. In a desperate bid to save her brother, Norah turns to a spiritismo, hoping to banish the malevolent spirit of a murderer they believe has taken possession of Joel. Yet, as they prepare to combat the terrifying entity, Joel's unexpected turn against Norah puts her life and the lives of her children on the line. As the stakes rise, Norah must confront the dire reality of her brother's possession and muster the courage to fight the evil that threatens to consume them all.
