Shout! Factory - The Vigil

Yakov Ronen (Dave Davis) was finding his efforts to leave his Orthodox Jewish leanings and community behind fitful... and his sympathetic rabbi (Menashe Lustig) offered him a simple paying gig as a ritual shomer, spending a night watching over the body of a recently deceased neighbor. However, the evening-thanks to the dead man's dabbling with a folkloric demon-will prove to be anything but easy money. Singular stunner also stars Malky Goldman, Lynn Cohen, Fred Melamed. 89 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
