Frederic, a priest, kneels in the dark with a spotlight on him. His hands are together in prayer.
We've all sinned.
Behind two gravestones we see a church tower. Inside, Frederic sits with his wife, Ethel.
Sin, it has a life of its own
They sit at a sparesely attended funeral with coffin at the front of the church.
What's important...
The couple stand by the graveside. A flower wilts.
...is knowing the difference...
A woman with her back to us walks away wearing a white nightgown and carrying a lamp.
...between what's real...
Frederic kneels by his bed in prayer as his wife sits in bed.
...and what our conscience has created to punish us.

A caption reads: On Blu-ray in the UK July 18 US & Canada July 19
A brooding occult horror with echoes of Bergman and Pasolini, The Righteous insinuates its way beneath the skin by way of an intelligent script, taut direction, and strong performances. Writer and actor Mark O'Brien (Ready or Not) pulls no punches as he confronts grief, guilt, faith and atonement in his remarkable directorial debut.
A former priest, Frederic Mason (Henry Czerny), anguished by the tragic death of his young daughter, finds himself wrestling with his religious convictions when a mysterious young man (Mark O'Brien) appears wounded on his doorstop in need of assistance. After he and his wife Ethel (Mimi Kuzyk) welcome him across the threshold and into their household, Frederic sees an opportunity for redemption in this mysterious and troubled lost soul, who might just be an emissary from God, or maybe the Devil...
Set amongst the bleak and forbidding landscapes of Newfoundland, crisply captured in tenebrous monochrome by cinematographer Scott McClellan, and featuring robust performances from all its cast members, The Righteous is a sombre supernatural chiller that builds to a memorable crescendo, and signals the emergence of a major new filmmaking talent.
