horror/thriller:old woman (witch) in an asylum manipulates her caretaker to kidnap a girl to live on

0

From what I remember (this could be inaccourate):
– The movie must have been made around the year 2000.
– I don’t think that it was played in cinema.
– The genre was horror, but without cgi, effects or jump-scares. Therefore i wrote “thriller”.
– A girl was kidnapped (or lost? in the beginning) and her father was in sorrow.
– There was a detective or a police office who was searching for the girl. (Maybe it was a journalist?)
– The girl was kidnapped by a caretaker of an old woman and held hostage in a box.
– That old woman was in a wheelchair and/or bedridden in some scenes. She was the witch.
– She was in a nursing home, psychiatry or asylum.
– The main characters were the girl, her father, the officer, the witch and the caretaker of her.
– The witch had a book with depictions on how to transfer her soul to the victim, so she can live on.
– The method was sth. about poking an eye with some sort of nail?
– At the end of the movie the girl was found and released.
– The witch and the caretaker were killed. (I think the police officer shot them.)
– In the last scene the girl is making hand gestures that the witch was making before, so that the viewer knows that the witch has survived through the girl.
– I don’t know, maybe there was also a young brother or sth.
– Also, maybe the caretaker was also an old soul.

Who knows this movie?
