Mark O’Brien’s latest horror movie nicely possesses your time.

I’m trying to make sure I got the gist of what the new Shudder horror movie “The Voices of Our Mother” is conveying. We begin with a woman being threatened by a demonic force who repeatedly says: “You’re mine and no one else’s.” And she wakes up from the nightmare with orange red lighting. There are also shots of a house with red cloudy skies like it’s the apocalypse or something. And that couldn’t be creepier.

And we see that same young woman in her not so golden years, giving her middle-aged daughter Harriet (Shelia McCarthy from “The Day After Tomorrow” and “Die Hard 2”) the hindsight that we wasn’t supposed to leave the house and repeats the same demonic lines: “You’re mine and no one else’s,” “You’re mine and no one else’s,” “You’re mine and no one else’s.” And the next morning, she wakes up to find her mother dead and herself bound for some haunting overtones. And now, let’s see where else it’s going.

“The Voices of Our Mother” is the second feature “Ready Or Not” and “City on a Hill” star Mark O’Brien has directed after “The Righteous.” And while it not something we haven’t seen before, it still has its creepy moments and some good performances to make it a worthy horror film on the B-scale. It’s also the kind that is great-looking with the color palettes I’ve mentioned and convincing nature of it all. And that’s really what has us intrigued by the film.

O’Brien also casts himself as William, who reunites with his fraternal twin brother Martin (Alex Ozerov-Meyer from “The Americans”) and sister Therese (Carolina Bartczak from “X-Men: Apocalypse” and “Moonfall”) to see their dementia-stricken mother, whom they haven’t seen in years and are estranged from her. They don’t even know if their other sister Annika (Georgina Reilly from “City on a Hill”) is showing up, but she finally shows up like she’s a stranger.

On the day of their grandmother’s funeral, Harriet suffers from a breakdown and convinced Hell is warming over on them after seeing a gargoyle statue move. And then, she becomes possessed and criticizes William, Martin, and Therese for their sins, but praises Annika for being a saint. And now, they’re not even sure if an exorcism is needed.

At this very moment, Annika and the priest (Shawn Doyle) are the only ones who can see through the demons of everyone through the power of God. Even their abusive father turned to the priest for guidance. Now, that would be hard to believe for those offspring in those circumstances, and I’m sure it is here.

“The Voices of Our Mother” doesn’t refine the demonic possession genre that “The Exorcist” has elevated, but it still creeps you out with the appearance and possessed old woman wisely played by McCarthy. There is always going to be a long time assumption that old women have to be the creepy ones in horror movies, and “The Voices of Our Mother” doesn’t insult anyone (nor give us the stomach-churning bodily functions that “The Front Room” repulsed very few movie-goers with). And out of all the siblings portrayed here, I believe Reilly has the kind of patience to draw us into her character. She’s a saint, but she has no vanity and wants to figure out the source of her mother’s pathos.

I’ve interviewed O’Brien a couple of weeks ago, and I complimented on his ideas which regard religion and family in the horror genre. And since he’s no stranger to the genre, he knows the right actors (some of which most probably haven’t heard of before) and the stakes of questioning the illness or demonic possession of a loved one. It could be the color palettes talking, but they’re quite hypnotic.
