Devil's Due

Synopsis: After a mysterious, lost night on their honeymoon, a newlywed couple finds themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy. While recording everything for posterity, the husband begins to notice odd behavior in his wife that they initially write off to nerves, but, as the months pass, it becomes evident that the dark changes to her body and mind have a much more sinister origin.

my dad was so lame,

with all his nostalgia

and all that.

But I kind of get it now.

beautiful event... (CROWD LAUGHING)
