The opening scene was the strongest part of the movie, it is shocking and instantly grabs your attention. However, that energy doesn't carry over to the rest of the film.

This is an example of an idea outweighing its execution. The concept of the embalmed hand used to conjure spirits was unique but aside from that this film doesn't do anything special. The main character grieves the loss of her mother and wishes to connect with her so she uses the hand to do so. This film reminded me a bit of "Insidious Chapter 3" but it wasn't as good. There is only one other scene besides the opening scene that has any kind of tension or suspense. This film lacked atmospheric horror as well as jump scares. There wasn't even anything creepy about the spirits that were conjured.

The origin of the embalmed hand wasn't concrete as some characters had different stories as to where the hand came from. It would have been nice if they just picked an idea and stuck with it.

The development of every single character in this movie was bare bones. The main character was grieving her mother and didn't have a good relationship with her father. Her father was made to seem like he had an important role in the film but he didn't. She had a best friend who had a little brother and a boyfriend. The dynamics between all of those characters are very cliché and corny.

This film was a waste of time and a complete let down. The only good thing about it was that it was over rather quickly.
