Bloat

Right off the bat, I cannot recommend this film for any reason whatsoever; This was an absolute dretch to get through. Nonexistant plot with scenes smacked together, very poor acting accompanied by laughable "chemistry", "dialog" and "story" - there's none of it here. There's plenty of times you could laugh during this film, but it's for all the reasons you wouldn't want to be laughed at - film editing is abysmal alongside the very loud and mishmashed audio, continually displaying some really bad CGI garbage that's supposed to draw us in with mystery, it doesn't. Call me a full blown hater for this film, but I can genuinely tell anyone reading this - you will thank me for telling you this film just isn't it. Absolutely nothing was redeeming about it, it's not interesting, scary, enthralling - it's scenes to bloat runtime.

Stuck in a different country, a military officer keeping track of his family is relieved that a potential accident to his son is a false alarm when he survives a near-fatal drowning incident, but the longer he's away the more their erratic behavior convinces him something isn't right with his son.

This was a generally frustrating if still somewhat enjoyable genre effort. The central premise here is generally fun, offering a chilling take on possession that brings about some intriguing local folklore while utilizing some standard evil kid tropes. The idea of getting to relive the trauma of the fateful drowning while on a call with her and to then be saved when news of the survival is spread gives this a great emotional background for the burgeoning tension that arises the more it continues involving the increasingly erratic and unnatural behavior towards the rest of the family that gets mentioned or glimpsed fleetingly on calls makes for an intriguing enough setup.to propel this one along. As the incidents continue and all point to possession, this launches into a fantastic series of interactions involving the race to unravel the truth and put their knowledge into action. The revelation about the potential spirit holding onto the son and what they would mean as the information gathered from the search into the specific creature gives them the idea for how to carry out the means of stopping him and saving his son's life. The problem here is the screen-life presentation that initially appears quirky but soon becomes immensely off-putting and irritating when watching different screens and apps flash open with no real-world interaction. This would've been a lot more intriguing and enjoyable if played straight, which is a big reason for what holds this down.

Rated R: Violence and Language.

I enjoyed this movie because I also enjoyed its older sister movies: Found & Searching? Whatever they were called. I guess the POV is from the father & what he's searching / doing on his laptop & you get to see that more than the father's expression reading the article. So you see him searching these haunted webpages but ultimately you don't see his expression, so you don't know if he believes in it until he speaks to someone else regarding it.

I enjoyed the cast of characters, the acting is a lil cheesy, esp on the sons. The mom is playing a typical suburban cloud in the heads mom & if the father was there they'd prob be arguing over what the father believes to be true vs the mom's denial. It's crazy to see the dad's POV, how he is not there but he knows something's going on.

Idk I liked this movie, I liked the other two movies that took its format. So despite the other bad reviews, I hope they continue making movies like this! At the end you just want to buy a Apple laptop too 😉 good promotion lol.

This movie was ridiculous. It made no sense. It was so boring. It looked like the whole thing was made on an iPhone. Actually I'm sure there were better films made with iPhones that had better storylines than this. They tried to make it all artsy and tech, but to me it was just a cheap cop out, basically the whole movie was them FaceTime each other and just a very boring drawn out movie that made no sense. If you saw the trailer, you saw the entire movie. I fast-forward did most of the movie through the boredom just to get to the end to see if it would get any better, I feel sorry for anyone that was recommended this movie even if that was possible. I wish I could give it negative scores. Please don't waste your time and definitely don't waste your money. Go stare at the wall, go for a walk, do anything but watch this movie. I am not even kidding when I tell you this was the worst movie - it left me angered that I wasted time out of my life, expecting something to happen, anything to happen, guess what,? Nothing happened.

This whole thing was literally written by AI and the horror was definitely made by it too; it was extremely boring and literally made no sense. The pacing is slow, the characters are boring, the sound is horrible (not scary at all) and even the visuals are blurry throughout most of the film. I expected a Japanese American film to be like the ring or the grudge, but boy was I wrong. Don't waste your time watching this, I spent $5.99 to see it on YouTube and really wished I didn't. I can see better AI horror for free online without wasting an hour and a half of my time. All in all, worst movie I've seen in years.
