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 thought overall it was a great film with some good scares. I watched it during the day and it was still scary so that is saying something.
Loved every minute of it! Very well put together.
Great pacing and characterization. They used the format superbly, and the way they did the credits was sweet and clever in the creepiest way
Don't mess with spirits. Over any platform. ATTENTION: PLEASE UPGRADE to continue this review.
Great!! Way better than it has any right to be. Tight, good scares, great suspense, simple but effective story and effects. Lots of “oh don’t do that!” Moments and ominous open doors in the background. The lockdown PTSD was almost as traumatizing as the ghosts.
