Surprisingly impressive new Australian horror, made for practically nothing but out of nowhere has become one of the biggest financial successes of the year, making its budget back 20 times over, so far.

The story is centered around a bunch of teens who have come into possession of what is said to be a dead fortune-teller's hand, and by holding it they get to commune with the dead. The fresh new take on this well-worn tale mostly revolves around the ways the teens treat the experience like a drug or content to be posted on their social media accounts, with little consideration of the weight or meaning or forces involved.

The young cast are all solid, better in most cases than the majority of actors the same age you'll see on TV or in big-budget movies, and the lead actress, Sophie Wilde, is particularly good. It speaks to the amount of loving care and attention that must have gone into the film's making that they could make something that looks and feels like such a real and genuinely engaging movie with so few funds, but regardless of the budget it's rare to see a film so tightly and competently made today.
