Our take
Clare returns home after her mother's death while trying to stay in recovery. Proclivitas mixes her renewed romance with grief and a demonic presence that threatens her control. Possession scares, a brief sex scene and brief rear nudity make this a 15+ watch for us.
Uplifting themes
A story about second chances, forgiveness, and fighting to stay well after a loss. The hopeful parts sit beside a lot of darkness, so the encouragement is real but hard won Clare keeps working at her recovery even when it is hard, and Jerry stays close to her through the worst of it. Both are flawed, which makes them feel real and easier to relate to
Story (may spoil tone)
Clare is an addict in recovery when her mother’s sudden death turns her carefully measured world upside down. Returning to her hometown, she reconnects with teenage sweetheart Jerry. He’s the one Clare could never stop thinking about. It’s been fifteen years since a tragic accident tore them apart. Now they have a second chance at happiness. But as their love returns, so does the ghosts of the past, threatening Clare’s sobriety and triggering a powerful demonic presence determined to control her.
