I skipped this movie for years bc of the reviews. Thanks to Tubi's auto-play feature, it ended up on my screen. I'm glad it did. This is a well-made movie and undeserving of its score.

The Good Acting is more than fine (especially if you enjoy Linda Blair's odd charm) and the story is quite excellent. Being a film of the 70's, the futuristic 'sci-if' element of hypnosis syncing (which would be wildly accepted in a novel) is too much? It's laughable? But not this entire supernatural element? The story is fantastic and the sets are diverse

The Bad It's certainly not scary and if that's what you're looking for, then this will disappoint- reminds me of Spiral, out of the book of Saw- folks hated it bc they wanted a Saw movie- but it's still a fun spinoff with the same elements. This is that, except you get the same actors and actresses in the first movie (save Ellen), plus somegood additions...plus many of the same sets.

Give this movie a shot if you enjoy horror movie elements and are OK without major scares.

I absolutely cannot understand the low ratings. This is well filmed, well acted, and keeps the heart pumping. To give it a 2 or a 1 is not sincere and that makes it akin to a D-Grade basement exploitation flick. I'm sorry you didn't like the story, but give me a break- a 2/10 for the movie as a whole? Ridiculous. If all of your ratings on IMDb are to the extreme, then maybe no more reviews for you?

The feeling of watching an over-confident protagonist let their guard down and you're filled with dread? The feeling of relief when life is put on pause and you're living in the moment? A semi-plot twist that makes you question yourself? All here.

If you don't mind subtitles, this is a good movie if you're into horror thrillers with suspense.

Group carelessness. Does anything create more tension? While setting up for the eventual disaster, you at least become slightly relaxed watching these kids have fun.

Ouija Boards? OK Boomer.

Talking to the dead isn't enough. We want to become possessed and then act like no harm will come of it. Party time!!!

Honestly, I loved this movie for many reasons. Aside form the careless aspect that every teenager and his/her friends have- there are some great practical effects in this movie. The designs of the putrid flesh or quick images of a tortured soul in hell give Hellraiser and 80's flicks a run for their money.

The intro scene is confusing and then disturbing...but it starts off 90mph.

And if for some reason you can't stand it he main character? Wait it out, it pays to watch!
