Time to hear an intelligent honest and constructive critical review.

If this is a supernatural horror - it does very little to scare apart from the tacky JUMP SCARES which are known to be the cheapest form of scares in storytelling.

Let start from the beginning, the first act's pacing is boring. We are introduced to a bunch of mainly white whiny and uninteresting teens and 1 diverse character of color who has a British accent.

It is so unclear how the dark girl is connected to the white family until more than half the film - that she's a step sibling. Biggest mistake of storytelling is having the audience try and guess who someone is - if it's not part of the twist. So here I am trying to guess who she is the whole time, which takes me out of the story - big mistake directors.

You never see the father and the mother together and its never explained, big plot hole.

It takes roughly 20 min or more to even know what the film is about. I'm all for character development and setting up the story but the pacing of the first 20 min was boring. You have to put up with typical Aussie style party and then cringeworthy teens teasing and laughing at each other. And of course, your token Diverse casting choice who can't act and throw in a transgender who mocks everyone and even mocks Jesus Christ - which is unnecessary, no religion should be mocked.

When you find out about the hand - that's when the film gets interesting and it's a GREAT CONCEPT, shame the rest of the film was NOT executed right.

Once it gets started the film is good and engaging but NOT really scary, like it's on the low end of scaring anyone, a lot of stuff is done with a ALOT of light not in the dark and sometimes during daylight - which is NOT scary - who's afraid of daytime?

The middle of the film is really good, but the characters are NOT that interesting, and the actors are not the very best to be cast in this film apart from Miranda Otto who is wasted here.

Overall, the film is shot well, and it looks like a Hollywood film, but the film just doesn't deliver anything different.

It's just another - conjure up spirits movie using a HAND and not a Ouija board - the rest is a typical formula.

Between 45 min and the end the film loses steam and doesn't really climax, until the very last scene, which feels like no real build up.

The last scene which ties into a sequel is very cool and clever.

It's a fun movie, easy to watch but not scary and could have been so much better.

Goes to show that YouTube stars are NOT real story-tellers or directors.

You just need to be popular on YouTube and Screen Australia and Screen Adelaide will throw money at you.
