2.5/5
The horror familiarity and inconsistent logic choices work against a creative approach to the found footage format, though it's anchored by solid performances and a memorable conclusion. Go to Full Review

...When I watched this movie for the first time I had to pause it and turn on the lights because I got too scared. It pulls the viewer into the story making you apart of the nightmare and for that this feels more like an experience than a movie. Go to Full Review

Gen C @RT11338420 2 days ago It was a great movie! The mother issues with li and dodo were quite sad but it was a movie that actually scared me, which only Midsommar has been able to do. See more Daniel T @DanielRuben37 Oct 20, 2026 Makes the Blair Witch Project look like a high school movie project. This is really convincing, honestly scary, deeply disturbing and dark found footage horror. The film breaks the 4th wall and involves the audience in a very clever way. The Asian black magic and supernatural tropes here are at once familiar but also totally novel for a Western audience steeped in Christian lore, creating a deeply uncanny and brooding atmosphere making the film very authentic and convincing. My only issue is that at times the various sources of footage get so mixed up iit starts to feel unnecessarily convoluted. But overall an excellent production. See more Maja-Isabella M @RT92706950 Oct 10, 2026 Genuinely one of the scariest movies I have ever watched. There is constant build up - which yes anyone has a different opinion about that, I enjoy it. But there was no clear direction, the movie was all over the place. The Plot came together, but I personally did not fully understand what was happening. If you f with ritual shi this is worth the watch. See more Grace K @Graceless Oct 9, 2026 Solid scary movie. Liked the “otherness” of the Chinese Buddhist tradition coming into it. Dealt with familiar tropes of spreading the curse through video - so it felt a little derivative. See more Aadi G @aadigiri Sep 27, 2026 Everything I have ever wanted from a horror movie See more Trisha D @RT80878702 Sep 12, 2026 This is one of the most terrible movies i have ever watched in my life . There is no clear direction in what's going on . The scenes were not scary at all . I won't recommend it yo anyone, waste of time is all i would like to say. And she is a fool to believe that anyone would recite that mantar . L movies. See more Read all reviews
