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

meh. slow burner, and filled with jump scares
Really enjoyable short film set in the peak COVID era centred around Zoom meetings. A real good quick horror film. Lovely to get some goosebumps too! Great film.
One of the best "found footage" films of recent years, just way too short.
Not bad but to be honest some of the jump scares I found comical which ruined it for me.
I’m a lover of short films (my attention span is awful) so this is a great hour long film that jumps straight into the horror, acting was good from everyone in my opinion and it definitely keeps you on edge waiting for what’s next. I’m very fussy with my horrors but this has impressed me! Typical British wit and funny moments included too :) Definitely recommend.
