Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Demon is a 2016 horror movie from Mongolia directed by O. Munguntulga and B. Tsogt-Erdene.The opening scenes are set in 2002. A man named Mayagmar is caring for his wife Sunjid, who is desperately ill with cancer. Sunjid is obviously terminal but is not dying quite fast enough for her husband, who is stuck with her in the family's country house, emptying bedpans and watching her hair fall out. One day, Sunjid walks out of the house, locks the door, and leaves for a good long while. When he comes back he finds Sunjid half out of her sickbed...dead.He also finds a ghost. The sight of Ghost Sunjid with her rotting face sends Mayagmar screaming in terror. Mayagmar consults a shaman who tells him to leave the house, but not to sell it.Cut forward thirteen years to Dec. 31, 2015. Mayagmar's nephew Khatnaa knows about the empty vacation home and wants to take his friends there for a cool New Year's party. So he invites them: his own girlfriend Khajaa, his friend Amagaa, Amagaa's girlfriend Minjee, and Khatnaa's single buddy Tumuruu. Minjee cajoles her friend Anu, who is shy and quiet and demure, into tagging along. It's a fun party, with drinking and fireworks and sex, at least until the ghost of Sunjid emerges and starts murdering people.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Chekhov's Gun: It's not hard to figure out that when Amagaa notices the cool ceremonial sword hanging on the wall, it will come in play later. Amagaa uses the sword to whack off Minjee's head with one stroke. (Must be a strong guy.)

Abnormal Limb Rotation Range: Ghost Sunjid starts doing a freaky upside-down spider/crab walk.

Cell Phones Are Useless: Naturally nobody can get a cell phone signal to call for help. (Semi-realistic if one is in a country cabin in the middle of nowhere in Mongolia.)

Conscience Makes You Go Back: Tumuruu has gotten outside through the unlocked upstairs window and managed to start the car, when he hears Anu screaming inside. He goes back to rescue her, and takes a knife to the gut (thrown by a ghost!) for his trouble.

Artistic License: Lows in Mongolia on New Year's Eve are going to average -23 C or so, so, not a good time for a bare-chested Amagaa to open the window and enjoy the clean country air.
