I'll keep this short. IT'S BORING. This wasn't creepy, I was bored throughout most of it. Had two GOOD GAGS, the very last bit at the end, I thought was cute and clever. Then the weird out of place Event Horizon/Jacob's Ladder scene with the boy being tugged gently by the spirits. OTHER THAN THAT... IT WAS LAME.

The writing was bad, the acting was mediocre, it was shot competently... Since apparently two youtubers with a prank channel made it. I don't know what the message was. Some said drug abuse allegory, others' have said social media addiction, but none of those really jive since there weren't any druggies in the movie and social media is such a foot note in this that I just don't see that angle. To me I think it was more on the nose of "LETTING GO". Since that's how you break the connection. The catalyst to this never pays off, and I can't tell if I don't care enough that it didn't, or if it was done for "ARTISTIC" reasons. I literally got done watching this and it barely stuck with me. Oh and I think the creators thought it would be funny and quirky if the one girl's ring tone was Crazy Frog... REMEMBER CRAZY FROG? HOW ZANY. These kids weren't even alive for Crazy Frog, oh god that's so depressing to think, that the actors might be younger than Crazy Frog... Getting old sucks.

As for this movie, this is a great "HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL HORROR MOVIE", that's the people who would be scared by this. It has that blood and gore "R-RATED" edge, and has the appearance of being deep that they'll chew up and make them think they're watching something spooky and nuanced like Pan's Labyrinth or The Devil's Backbone. This is for the Wish Upon crowd. I can't hate it though, for a first time big boy movie, it was good on that aspect. AND GOOD ON THEM FOR REALLY NOT GOING FOR JUMP SCARES and easy avenues of James Wan horror movies. They're better than James Wan, which is a low bar, but a bar they did clear. Well done you guys.
