Disappointing Ending
18 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Whenever there is a clean-cut, cute, awesome guy in these things, you know he will end up being:

  • Killed.


  • The Killer (or one of)


It's never NOT either of those two. It's getting tiresome.

As an internet challenge, this seems like the stupidest idea. Videotaping yourself and your friends purposefully murdering someone for a "challenge"? Yep, good luck avoiding the police morons. -_-;;;

I didn't understand much about the girl's plight. She wanted to be an actress, but her family disapproved because...........why? But were fine with her sister being a fashion designer, which is at least as much work and chance of "making it"...? It didn't make a lot of sense.

They also didn't explain why she was moving in with her sister. To go to the drama high school? Was that all? What about the visions she kept having that had nothing to do with the folks doing "the challenge"? Are we to assume Charlie was just messing with her?

...Charlie. Dude. Give it a rest. You're creating more ghosts who will come after you in the nether realm. Sheesh.

I've honestly never understood this in horror. "The ghost wants revenge by MURDERING the people he doesn't like!" So.........he'll have to deal with them in the spirit realm instead..? How is this a solution? Most living murderers do so to get RID of someone they DON'T want to deal with....not keep them around!

Anyroad, it was pretty good for what it was, but I would have liked it better if it turned out the girl's family was protecting her from her own schizophrenia or some such. THAT would make sense why they wouldn't want her in drama. THAT would tie things up neatly, explain the visions....and not be nearly as stupid as a "challenge".

I get it; it's a commentary on the stupidity of meme culture, yadda yadda...but how hamfisted can you get? Sheesh. Terrible. Just terrible.

The acting was pretty good, though, and up until the end, I enjoyed the story! I just wish it could have been a bit more dynamic, and leaned into the family issues a bit more instead of being just "Hey spooky stuff! OOoooOOOoOoOOoOoo!"

Just so tired of that.
