4 | An independent film made in 2009, ''Lo'' is first and foremost a love story. Albeit, a love story with demons, [[DealWithTheDevil infernal pacts]] and [[MacGuffin demonology books]]. A loner named Justin falls in love with a [[ManicPixieDreamGirl quirky girl]] named April. She is kidnapped by demons, and leaves behind a book. Looking for any clue to save April, he finds a bookmark, showing how to summon a demon named Lo. So he does. Enter Lo. |
