📖 Plot Summary:
In The Devil’s Child, a young couple, Grace and Ethan Williams, move into a remote Gothic estate in rural Vermont to start anew after the trauma of a miscarriage. But their dreams of healing are shattered when Grace begins to experience terrifying visions and unexplainable phenomena surrounding their adopted daughter, Lily — a mysterious orphan who arrived after a tragic fire at a nearby monastery.
When the local priest, Father Lucien (Bill Skarsgård), uncovers an ancient prophecy buried in the monastery’s records, he warns that Lily might not be a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 at all — but a vessel of something far darker. As Grace descends into paranoia, unsure whether she is losing her mind or facing a demonic reality, a web of secrets unfolds that dates back generations — including a blood pact between the Church and a secret cult.
As the line between psychological trauma and supernatural possession blurs, The Devil’s Child builds toward a horrifying climax where faith, motherhood, and identity collide in a battle for the soul of a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥… and the fate of the world.
