Since I'm on a James Bond roll here, why not a Horror Film starring a different Bond Actor?
Works for me!
As a bonus, this is the Film that John McTiernan did that got him hired for Predator, so it is doubly relevant.
He's acting erratic and ranting in French.
He's...Pierce Brosnan?!?
He has some sort of attack and lunges at the Doctor...before dying.
She (and everyone else) is very confused by this.
She's told that the man's tox screen was clear- no drugs in his system.
The Doc soon thinks that she is on drugs, however, as she starts to see the man's memories in first person!
In the week leading up to this moment, he had moved to Los Angeles with his Wife.
He'd been traveling around the World studying cultures- especially nomadic ones.
When his Garage is vandalized, he follows the culprits- a ground of nomadic punk rockers in a van.
He becomes obsessed with them, trying to figure out if they're dangerous or just weirdos.
He's soon targeted by them, chased around until he goes inside an abandoned building.... only it is not abandoned.
A lone Nun lives inside and she's blind.
The Nomads eventually meet up with our Heroine after she meets up with Brosnan's Wife. They're still confused, but eventually sort out the truth.

The 'punk rockers' are nomadic spirits and they don't want attention.
They wreck the House's interior and the duo leave.
Our Lead warns the Wife not to look back, but she sees...that Brosnan is now one of them!

They go their separate ways.
The End.
Sometimes the spirits you see aren't what you expect them to be.
The End.
For better or worse, Nomads does things in a very different way.
The Plot plays out in flashbacks, but done in a more dynamic way.
Dowd really sells the effect this has on her.

Likewise, Brosnan really sells the paranoia here as he looks into the void...and it looks back.
You'll either love or hate his French accent. I didn't think it was merdes.

Having the Nomads appears as Punk Rockers as opposed to Spirits is an interesting choice. As a one-off thing, I'm fine with it.
This is much more of 'What is Going On' Horror Film than one full of real scares. Well, unless you're scared of Ants...
A Film that seems to either hook people or lose them in the 2nd half. Personally, I like having actual 'villains' and not just ghosts.
