    It Didn't Speak to Me
    I thought the first half of the movie was decent for the most part. It wasn't anything original, but it was okay. There was one very annoying part in that space though.

    Why were the kids in the group laughing, recording on their phones, and uploading to social media when someone decides to take part in the experiment? If they weren't scared why would someone watching this be?

    Obviously, someone is going to the dangerous, dark side and taken over by a demon and most of the kids are acting like they're at a comedy show.

    Once the middle school kid took the plunge, dispite his sister being against it, things took a turn towards snoozefest the longer the movie went on.

    At least it got the main characters to stop laughing and recording on their phones so they could post it on social media.

    The individual sessions with the hand had a convenient relevance to most of the kids because coincidentally, they had someone who died. That didn't get off the ground much for any of them and that seemed to be the core of the plot.

    I let you in.
    Mia breaking black people stereotypes in horror movies by basically running towards the danger. This was a really fun horror movie; not a comedy, just fun to watch with friends. It's still horror, but without a lot of jump scares or attempts to catch you by surprise. Some parts were predictable, like things you've seen before, but it still felt newt. It makes use of the R rating, though inconsistently, so it's not always gory.

    It felt real, except for the weirdness of how much screaming there was without other people hearing it, even in places like hospitals. It also felt realistic in how kids would probably react if they found an artifact like this and learned how to use it safely, they'd have fun with it. The characters had good emotional connection, especially between Jade, Riley, and Mia; they felt like an actual family. I liked how the mom knew the kids so well.

    It's a pretty good story, not just for a horror movie. It's a genuinely good movie overall. As I said, there aren't too many jump scares, but it builds its atmosphere perfectly, giving you goosebumps at times. Watching this after Tarot made me appreciate it even more. The ending was pure chef's kiss.
