Technically impressive but disappointingly unoriginal
Six friends meet via a Zoom call in order to take part in a seance, with terrifying results. Made during the Covid pandemic, this was impressively put together under difficult conditions. Some of the effects are more convincing than most mainstream movies, and a great deal of tension is built up at various points. It's just such a shame the film is so derivative, with shameless lifting from horror flicks such as Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project in particular, not to mention Ghostwatch. That said, one still comes away from the movie genuinely impressed by the technical achievements on display, as well as a couple of genuine shudders.
