Just watched the trailer and it looks great. They essentially do a variation of, kids messing with a Ouija board, troupe. I think its very creative and should be quite effective. BTW, everyone involved in the paranormal, warn people not to play with Ouija boards.
Just got back from seeing it and this was pretty good
Not only was it creepy, it was also pretty emotional too which surprised me. The Philippou brothers, who are YouTubers “RackaRacka,” did a great job for first time movie directors.
The ending was one of the best endings I’ve seen in a horror movie in a good while
If the movie does well enough, I wouldn’t be surprised if they do a sequel. The directors already said they open for it if giving the opportunity. Especially with the lore of where the “The Hand” came from.
slightly disappointed. it peaked during the 2nd party scene to me. it had an insane energy and i was absolutely loving it. then after the incident, it devolved into the overdone trauma porn horror of the past 5 years.
and i found my mind wandering: why is this shyt so dark like everything from the past decade? why do all these prosthetics look the same the past few years? why is it always creepy old people? why is every movie above 90% on the tomatometer?
i was ready to give the ending the Seinfeld theater gif, but by the time i got to my car and got it, i liked it. 7/10 for me.
Thought this was a really solid directorial debut. Movie brought a fresh take to the possession sub-genre and I respect that a lot. Made me feel like I was losing my mind along with the rest of the characters, so as far as effectiveness goes, I think the project was a grand success in that regard. Looking at the rest of the horror slate this year, it’ll likely go down as my favorite one. 2022 spoiled me like crazy in retrospect.
I don’t think there’s anything else in horror that makes me flinch as much as head trauma does. The movie does not shy away from that stuff at all, so beware lol. Some of the scenes had me feeling kinda queasy.
Found myself laughing while also surprised at how demonic things had flipped at an instant within the same moment. Reminded me of a lot of the way Raimi crafted his work. Not at all surprised seeing who picked this up — there were definitely a few points in the film where I could imagine A24 reps at the festival premiere going “Yes, we need to buy this film immediately”.
Ending sent the film out on a really high note. Hit me like a brick and will stick in my head for a while similarly to that one crazy ass sequence from Flanagan’s The Haunting of Hill House.
Flick was so Australian that even Kangaroo Jack got a cameo.
