Connect (2022 film)

Connect is a 2022 Tamil-language supernatural horror film directed by Ashwin Saravanan and produced by Vignesh Shivan under Rowdy Pictures, starring Nayanthara, Sathyaraj, Anupam Kher, and Vinay Rai.

As days pass, Susan notices suspicious activity in her house and sees drawings of inverted crosses in Anna's room.

Through a Zoom video call with Father Augustine (Anupam Kher), Arthur and Susan learn that Anna is possessed by a demon who intends to destroy her.

He tells her that certain behaviour such as speaking in different languages, having superhuman strength and knowing too much about people's personal lives are all symptoms of demonic possession.
