Directed by Rob Savage
Six friends get together during lockdown for their weekly zoom call. It's Haley’s turn to organise an activity and instead of a quiz, she’s arranged for a Medium to conduct a séance. Bored and feeling mischievous, Jemma decides to have some fun and invents a story about a boy in her school who hanged himself. However, her prank gives license for a demonic presence to cross over, taking on the guise of the boy in Jemma’s made-up story. The friends begin noticing strange occurrences in their homes as the evil presence begins to make itself known, and they soon realise that they might not survive the night. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.
During an online séance, six friends accidentally invite the attention of a demonic presence.
Cast: Haley Bishop, Radina Drandova, Jemma Moore, Caroline Ward, Emma Webb, Edward Linard

I can’t rave enough about this film. A brilliant way to add horror to our shared experience during lockdown and having Zoom calls with friends. The characters felt authentic and I easily found recognizable traits shared with my own friends group. All while clocking at just about an hour! This does so much with the limited time. I loved it!
Low budget Suspense horror at its finest. Well worth the watch.
Borrows pretty heavily from Paranormal Activity, but in all the right ways. I'm not a fan of movies that shove the 2020 world incident in everyones faces however this movie does it decently. There have been a lot of movies that take place through the lens of skype or zoom but this is probably the best one. Builds tension really well.
Uhm whut duh heck dis so geh
absolutely terrifying. glad it's only 56 minutes long because I couldn't take much more of that. I'm literally afraid to get out of bed right now.
