[@Neodante15]

That was crazy!!

[@jayfiggs4656]

an interesting note that I'm not sure the director and writer intended was that fact that whenever the group was away from the chat "Jack" couldn't harm them. Teddy wasn't attacked until he joined the chat, Gemma wasn't harmed when she left to save Haley and for all we know Saylen was the only survivor given that the entity didn't seem to want her involved. My theory is that when the group talks about the connection earlier in the film to them they created a hypothetic mental connection when in truth the chat itself was the connection. perhaps all of them would have survived if they all left the chat, breaking the real "rope."

[@snugglebugglewoowoo]

I love this theory! Great observation. X

[@latayesha]

That's a pretty cool theory. Makes sense kinda. The only issue is Alan wasn't part of the call and he still died

[@boopbloop8725]

I KNOW! Especially towards the end, when the demon started kicking everyone from the call, my frist thought was "maybe to sever the connection completely, they need to literally disconnect"

[@JohnGenericName]

The hanging body in the attic is a perfect example of a non-jump scare that actually works and more movies need to take notes.

[@queerlibtardhippie9357]

@Cody Hutton Oh no we live in a society where people... follow rules?? And... sometimes they don't??? Crazy!! Why do you think it's brainwashing or something? It's literally human behavior. Everybody isn't going to be a leader or a rebel or an outcast. Most people won't be those things. Most people work better with guidance. You can argue about the specific guidance and what it entails for society, but the other part isn't a mystery bro. It's basic human social structure.

I decided to watch the movie before the kill count for this one, and don't regret it at all. I did not expect to be as scared by this movie as I was, but holy crap. These people did an AMAZING job with what they had to work with, like, this movie scared me more (and more often) in 56 minutes than plenty of other horror flicks have in twice that long. I kinda want to rewatch it in a dark room on my laptop using just my headphones to see if that sort of immersion makes it any scarier. Last two times I paused the kill count to watch the movie were Ready Or Not and Better Watch Out, and both times I was very surprised by how much I ended up liking the movie. I really ought to make a habit out of this, it really enhances the experience

I find it odd that no one had the idea of praying or invoking the Lord. You'd think that with crucifixes and other religious stuff in other films (or the 2 priests in The Exorcist) someone would have had the idea. But besides that, it bothers me that they were playing so lightheartedly with something as serious as spirits. You never know what you're dealing with in these cases, and the outcome can be very dangerous, as shown in the film.

It's about 1600 a month after tax and national insureance payments and contribution to company pension. Let's say rent is 700. That's 900. Let's say they have Netflix, Spotify premium, and contract on their phone, that leaves let's call it 830. Travelling to and from work is 200 for the month with an oyster card leaves over 600. If you're on your own food shop is about 45 for a week let's call it 50 because that is easier to math that's around 200. Leaves around 400. Which is about 4 drinks in London (JK, but the cost of drinks is ridiculous down there). Because we pay national insurance on our salary that goes to paying for our national health service. I may have a personal issue with the hospital that once operated on me incorrectly, the fact that I don't have to pay a few grand for treating a broken arm and if I don't have the insurance they won't even treat me, makes me pretty happy.

I once lived in the top floor of a duplex. This was basically a two story house that had been divided into two top and bottom units. We had access to the house's attic, which was only accessible through a drop board hatch and no ladder. There were three rooms up there, the room we crawled up into, a small area without a door that used to be a play room for children, and door with a rusted latch handle we couldn't open. I had so many nightmares about what could have been lurking behind that door. I eventually kicked it open, and it was a dark windowless room with nothing inside but a dead bird, but that didn't really make me feel any better. I was happy when we eventually moved out.
