About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, effects-heavy horror ride that mixes social media satire with possession chaos; Not for you if you dislike single-location stories or prefer straight-faced scares like The Cursed.
Pros: clever setup; good pacing; strong effects | Cons: thin story; single-location feel; sometimes unintentionally funny
