關於這部電影

Six friends hire a medium to conduct a séance during lockdown for their weekly Zoom call. Jemma decides to pull a prank and makes up a story about a boy she knew in high school who hung himself. By doing this, Jemma inadvertently invites a demonic presence to cross over. Soon the friends begin noticing strange occurrences in their homes as the evil spirit begins to make itself known, and they all realize this night may be their last.

評分和評論

This film innovated the horror genre with its unique take on demon / supernatural entities. Great use of the current pandemic to set the stage, the jump scares didn't feel forced or badly placed... I enjoyed it a lot. It seems like a terrible concept at first but give it a chance, it'll get you.

This movie is phenomenal. The acting is great, but Haley and Jemma stand out. I really only noticed on my third or fourth watch, but they do not like each other and are clearly just friends of circumstance. There is a subtlety and realism that makes this stand out. This movie is a great example of how the monster is only a vehicle to get the reactions of interesting characters.

This movie is a rip-off and a complete waste of time. People gather on zoom, chat, some dude uses foul sexist language, and then you watch (SPOILERS!) a seance. An idiot girl makes up a lie and a demon terrorises them all. Literally a horrible movie. I didn't finish it. Wanna see a good ghostie? Watch The Changeling with George C. Scott. For free. On youtube. Requires an attention span and setting down your mobile for an hour (hard, I know). This generation is being completely ripped off by lazy, stupid movies for the text brain generation.
