Elizabeth Derby (Heather Graham) has an happy marriage and a good career as a psychiatrist. All of this changes, when she comes across a patient named Asa Waite, seeking her assistance with a weird issue. Elizabeth who prefers to believe science gets late to understand what Asa got her into. His dying father has the ability to body swap via an incantation and so he does, switching into his son's body as well as Elizabeth's. With her life turned upside down and not getting the help she needs from her friend Danielle Upton, she is forced to take matters into her own hands. Will she able to stop this forms rest of the story.

Based on an H. P. Lovecraft's short story, this is as old school as it gets with the ever dependent Heather Graham and Barabara Crampton in the lead. It doesn't try to deliver anything extraordinary, instead it aims for a proper 90mins entertainer with a controlled budget and it almost succeeds. For a while, the entire body swapping is fun with a crazy baddie and desperate Elizabeth along with this being an erotic horror thriller. It does drag on in third act till that climax twist, predictable all along yet mostly serviceable. Overall, it makes up for a one time watch.
