About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, teen-focused supernatural thriller built around a cursed game and jumpy tension, similar in spirit to Pulse or When a Stranger Calls; Not for you if you need strong character work or truly scary, gory horror.
Pros: fun high-concept hook; creepy early atmosphere; easy to follow | Cons: repetitive scares; thin character depth; tame PG-13 kills
