    don't expect much and you'll be rewarded

    OMFG this was a very surprising experience. I didn't read the comments about this movie, I didn't believe the ratings, but I really love this type of a horror. and the best is that it's only an hour long, everything is in point. don't expect much from this and you'll be rewarded 😈💜

    Jump Scare Fest

    It's pretty well done but a really shallow movie.

    The Zoom angle adds a bit of freshness, but it's not as good as the first Unfriended.

    lots of loud noises, shaky camera's and essentially a long series of jump scares knitted together - even at 60 mins it felt a bit too long

    Inane chat, but fairly natural conversations, zero story, but what it does, it does well. Just don't come looking for something engaging - it's a ghostrain on film.

    Better than Anticipated

    First of all, the reviewer who stated this movie is formulaic needs to learn the definition. I know what they are trying to say, but that isn't the correct word.

    I enjoyed this movie, it was intense without music or an abundance of sound effects and the acting was very good.

    REVIEW - HOST

    As we all know over the past 4 months there have been very few new films because of the pandemic, which in a strange way actually made this film even more enjoyable.

    Filmed during lock down and referring to the situation around the current pandemic a shot UK film was released that probably no one has heard of.

    A group of teens do an online Zoom session with a medium to try and see what would happen, of course things go wrong when one of them doesn't take it seriously and summons........

    Small budget, but hugely enjoyable and even actually made me jump in one place!

    Definitely one to watch but just a word of caution, don't watch it on a windy night and leave your Windows open so your doors move on their own, spooky.

    Rating 7 out of 10

    Goosebumps? check - Heart rate up? check

    I strongly believe the people who didn't get scared while watching this either lack empathy, or like my girlfriend were not really following and played with their phones throughout the movie.

    This project proves low budget does not equal a bad movie. If you pay attention and try to put yourself in the characters' positions and listen to all the little noises and stuff you're in for a ride.

    I rate movies based on how they make me feel, not on how much they cost to produce or what other people are saying about it. People involved in the production of this movie seem to really understand their target audience. Absolutely terrifying. Perfect for Halloween.
