I think the allegory for a teen drug use really was creative and really landed well because it really does only take one time for the wrong person to take a hard drug and ruin their entire life

[@oOscarymvsbOo]

And unfortunately when it's fun you got a high off of it like the montage and you do it with your friends and it seems harmless like no one thinks about the people who are super susceptible to repeated drug use like people who are in a depression or who have mental illness or who are young and impressionable Yeah it was really good I would have literally never left my brother in the room for Mia to make the decision in the first place so it's hard for me to fully empathize with Jade because I just would have removed my brother from the room so no one got a chance to expose him to something I didn't want him to be exposed to and also it was just really sad poor Mia's father by the end of all of this

[@mochibun3890]

Why I stayed away from drugs after learning how it can unlock mental disorders especially if they run in the family. Things like psychosis, schizophrenia or sever depression can appear after just a couple uses and take over your life. Scary stuff

[@mikkat8613]

Especially when drug induced mental illness is a big problem

[@grayb8747]

Allegory sure, but witchcraft and demonic activity is surely real. This is a well done personification of it

[@superkoopatrooper4879]

Not just that, when she first seen the ghost she wanted to back out but the group started screaming and yelling at her to do it. When everything went wrong everyone blamed her, alienating her. She continued to use the hand for comfort. the younger kid was also affected because how young he was. But he had support that Mia just did not have. At the end of the movie, Mia let go of the wheel chair in a moment of clarity but the older sister pushed her into traffic. She needed someone to fight for her like the young kid had but instead she was thrown under the bus. Truthfully, they were all at fault. Why was a 14 year old even at the party? Why did those two kids show everyone the hand if they know it killed people before? It's all very tragic and Mia is very much the victim in all of it.

[@anirose25]

10:45 The film is a metaphor for drug abuse and addiction, how teens and young adults love the thrill of being high. How it makes ppl feel good the first time so they do it over and over, always chasing that feeling. it’s also about grief and how that can be taken advantage of to turn ppl to drugs and alcohol. It’s rlly great symbolism for addiction and the demons that come with it.

I'm so glad you acknowledge that even jade is complicit in Riley getting hurt. She left him there in a room where everyone was wanting it. You don't leave your brother alone in that situation even if he hates you. She doesn't take accountability for even that bit.

[@nothankyou94]

Right? This is the first reaction where I've seen someone else acknowledge that! People are very quick to put 100% of the blame on Mia.

[@axolotlol_]

thats hard! i love and trust my friends and i trust that they make the right decision, in this case a decision that isnt hurting anyone (they wouldnt be my friends if not!), i guess you could say that mia and the others are reckless teenagers and are just chasing the rush, but to even partly put the blame on jade just for trusting her friends to make the right decision.... i dont know

[@strawberryfox8819]

​@@axolotlol_You're telling me you'd witness your friends wanting to do drugs, being totally into drugs and wanting your brother to participate and you think nothing bad is gonna happen if you leave him alone with them? And this isn't a situation that "isn't hurting anyone", there is a direct risk of the person being possessed (in the allegory, taking drugs) to get immensely hurt. And then they pressure the kid into doing it and even go past the limit, not caring about his well-being. Sometimes, we make mistakes in who we choose as friends. Especially when you know those friends are into drugs (which the hand is an allegory for) and very much participate in peer pressure, you don't leave your family alone with them. So yes, she is also partially to blame.

The hand and possession is an allegory for drugs and addiction - later in the film Mia thinks the only way she can save Riley is by using the hand even more but in reality when they stop using the hand the spirits get weaker and eventually go away (similar to how people rationalise continuing to use drugs). I loved this movie!!

[@idunno3370]

100% absolutely. it's like since Riley was so young, the "drugs" affected him much more than the older teens who had already built up a tolerance, and him dying is kind of like a withdrawal, which in real life is pretty intense and sometimes even deadly

HEAVY SPOILERS AND THEORIES: I think that when Riley was possessed by Mia’s mom it was her mom. He used her nickname and his face was warm with red around his mouth and eyes like he’d been crying. And the spirit there was apologizing, whereas her “mom” that she saw after that was defensive saying she didn’t commit suicide. Mia was chasing the feeling of being able to speak with her mom again, and the water spirit took advantage of that. Grief is a vulnerability and the spirits knew they could control Mia through that. I believe some or all of those spirits were suicide spirits: Spirits that killed themselves; And/or wanted to harm themselves or others. The horny spirit could’ve killed themself from asphyxiation. Like the choking and shit. Many people die from cutting off their oxygen after an orgasm. They also forget that after an orgasm your legs get weak, and the belt or hand or whatever can tighten on your neck and you die. I also think the spirit that possessed Riley afterwards was the first ghost that had control of Duckett. Because Duckett stabbed himself right in his head/eye whatever and why would a teenager wanna stab himself so brutally like that. And his brother noticed Duckett wasn’t himself and broke into the door he was in. And idk abt Duckett but I don’t think you just would stab your brother. This explains the 90 second rule- you can’t let it go more than 90 seconds because the spirit stays with you. And that may or may not be deadly. Just like Mia, her demise at the end, just like Riley who never stopped being possessed- tried to kill himself multiple times. 90 seconds is a minute and 30 seconds which seems like a long time but can be a blink of an eye as well. I also thought that it was really interesting that the little girl spirit Mia was talking to (in the hospital on Riley’s bed) said “I let you in” instead of Mia saying it. It open’s a whole new window of the spirit realm. The evil spirit is still inside Riley even though they took the hand off of him. I think that when Mia let Riley have the hand for more than 90 seconds, it wasn’t Mia’s mom anymore. The candle is like a beacon of light. It attracts spirits to it like a moth to a flame. It’s possible that other spirits can take the drivers seat after 90 seconds. I believe that first time that it was acting like Mia’s mom through Riley that it was her mom. And then another spirit- who I’m assuming was Duckett possessor took charge. Another theory I have is that you’re conscious when you get possessed. This is true because when Daniel finished getting possessed after making out with the dog he looked sick and told everyone to delete that video. He ran off really upset. And that also means Riley felt all that pain. So basically when you’re possessed, it’s like being a passenger in your own car. You can see everything that’s going on but someone else is driving. And taking charge. That’s all I had to say

[@pretoilustra]

I believe that also I think the Directors said that too, is the first time we don’t see the spirit so is most likely that it is in fact her mom, but don’t think any spirit comes in contact more then once, the longer they’re dead the more foggy there memories get and they just become vengeful not by choice but as a consequence of being in the limbo.

[@HQofrandom]

Riley was only possessed once the drowned lady had spent more than 90 seconds within Mia. The spirit took Mias memories and wouldve known to call her by that nickname. Think about the odds that would have to happen for one of the spirits to be Mias mother that isnt even a recent death. Imo it was never Mia's mom

[@SD-zz4ov]

​@@HQofrandom that doesnt make sense since the drowned spirit was already inside mia. it couldnt be in riley at the same time.

[@HQofrandom]

@@SD-zz4ov it wasn't inside her, they say the spirits are just attached. So it was still hanging around the room to take the shape of Mias mom from her memory

[@scarlettsilo6409]

I think you guys all have great opinions thanks for replying

[@gillianaamira]

i feel like it’s looked over and forgotten, but when mia took her first turn she went over 90 seconds. hayley yells “that’s over 90 seconds, Joss!” & asks “are you okay? we went a bit over.” when Mia regains consciousness. i think the spirit she saw the second time, the one who looked to be drowned, had remained with her in some capacity and that was why she was able to see things without using the hand. she mentions how lonely she is once or twice, she’s jealous of her friend’s relationship, she’s still grieving her mother…i think the spirits might’ve used riley to get to mia, their original target. she was incredibly vulnerable and susceptible to the hand’s ability, seeing things without using it, and when she dies riley gets to recover and move on? strange

[@ohno3593]

thats what i think too!!!!

[@Dorma_]

I think it's always the drowned woman that's disguising as the others (Mia's mom gets more drowned looking over time), to help the one possessing the boy to kill him, to get his soul. Even the child spirit is probably her, as the vision showing the boy being tortured was to manipulate Mia into killing him

[@haileys1701]

To add on what you’re saying, to me the kangaroo in the beginning had to be a part of the foreshadowing. Riley suffered through the torture of being possessed but after Mia basically sacrificed herself, she saw the outcome of Riley and how he got better. She felt lonely because not only she’s grieving over the loss of her mom but also Jade was dating her ex. She wanted to be put out of her own misery, but she didn’t want to put the kangaroo out of its own misery which is still a mystery to me.

[@gillianaamira]

@@haileys1701 exactly!!!! in the beginning of the movie she can’t put the kangaroo out of its own misery, she is physically unable to do so even tho it’s suffering and says that “someone else will come along” and do it for her. to parallel, at the end, mia is suffering greatly after being pulled one way or the other by these demons/spirits. her best friend hates her, she put someone who trusted her in the hospital, seemingly everyone is against her, and she just stabbed her father in the neck. she realizes last minute that she is being used by a spirit pretending to be her mother and lets go of riley’s wheelchair, but i don’t think she sacrificed herself. i think jade pushed her into the street & put her out of her own misery-someone else came along and put her put her out of her own misery. *que parallel overhead shot of the mia that matched the kangaroo in the beginning of the movie*

[@Dorma_]

@@haileys1701 I think it's just a (well done) failed character arc. Like at the start, Mia couldn't kill the kangaroo, and a typical character arc would have her be able to do that by the end, via killing Riley. But she fails to do this which gets her killed, but this saves Riley with the theme being leave stuff alone (the body will reject the spirits over time, and best not to use the hand at all). Also, I'm pretty sure Mia was pushed at the end by Riley's sister, but I'll need to rewatch

[@strawberryfox8819]

I'm honestly impressed how bad the vibes where in the group. Like you could feel it through the screen that everyone except Riley gives off huge red flags. The type of people you should never have an uncovered drink around because they'll slip something in for a "silly little prank".

[@Wraiven22]

If you slow down the ending by the highway you can see that just as Mia took her hands off of Riley's wheelchair realizing the truth (it's not really her mother) that Jade pushes Mia into the highway. It's also why despite Riley just being KERPLUNKED by the car and probably dead she didn't even try to help her, instead holding Riley who was safe relatively speaking.

[@nailinthefashion]

I know he didn't just say kerplunked in all caps 💀

[@mphoapril6617]

idk if its just me but i feel like a secondary plot in the movie is Jade and Mia's friendship is deteriorating. Like Jade lowkey hates Mia the whole time (no shade to Jade though cause Mia was giving pick me a little) Like their friendship especially with Jade pushing Mia is giving Jennifer's Body minus the homo-erotisisim

[@haileys1701]

I feel like Mia was remembering the kangaroo in the beginning of the movie, she couldn’t put that poor animal out of its misery. She didn’t want to do that to Riley so in retrospect, I think she took her life because she felt a lot of pain coming from the grief of losing her mom but also that loneliness of not having a relationship like Jade has.

[@officialname9817]

if you pause at the right moment you can see her getting pushing into the car @@haileys1701

[@strawberryfox8819]

​@@mphoapril6617I mean yeah, I too would hate the person that played the biggest part in my brother being hospitalized. Yes, everyone was guilty but Mia still played the biggest part.

[@sharnieb2723]

Sophie Wilde (Mia) and Joe Bird (Riley) were just spectacular!

There's a prequel and a sequel coming out so fingers crossed we see them both return in some form cause omg. They were awesome/terrifying.

[@dirtytacosock]

okay my brother and i came up with a theory on the drive home from the theatre. one point that confused us was why mia was seeing demons without the hand even before riley was attacked. if you look at the very first demon that mia lets in, she has boils and markings of someone who was been drowned. As the ritual reaches its end, we never get to see how long she was possessed however we know that if she goes over the demon will stay. this was first foreshadowed that mia had gone over when her and riley were sleeping and you see the first demons hand. everytime mias "mom" talks to her we see her more wet, and drowned looking. towards the end it shows the demon losing the form of mias mom and becoming fullly drowned. this follows what cole (duckette) said in the train, the longer they stay, the weaker they get. edit: my brother and i also found the true horror to be what it means to have a soul. we learn that the spirits can take the soul of their host after killing them. this was why rileys demon was trying to end his life at every given moment. i think this film does a great job at showing what it means for a demon to "have your soul" we are never given a true explanation but rather a lot of incredibly scary imagery of riley being tortured

[@pillowvibes]

12:57 i think them laughing is kinda the point especially when you think of the metaphor for drug addiction/the commentary on social media bc in real life people will see somebody clearly having a drug-induced episode and instead of helping will laugh, pull out their phone and post it on social media

[@Jvela3]

Whenever you watch a movie for a second time you tend to catch all the things you missed the first time. Also Mia's friends sucked but they had some points at times even though its technically all their faults IN MY OPINION. (SPOILERS?) At the end of riley's scene you can see that they didn't blow out the candle which is why Mia started seeing things and the ghost/demon stayed inside of riley.

[@taylormade9748]

Genuinely asking, how did Mia’s friends suck? It seemed like they were trying to help her. Her friend didn’t want to do it but Mia wanted to do it for her mom. Idk how much her friend needs to say no. Mia wanted to do it

[@nailinthefashion]

@@taylormade9748 a good analogy is if you see your friend doing drugs, you let them. If you see your friend doing too much, you stop them. Some friends wouldn't let you even touch it, but these aren't those friends. When she couldn't pull the hand from Riley, someone else should have. They had no idea what consistently would happen if they go over time, but they wanted to film it if something crazy happened. There were a lot of good flaws written in that made it seem natural. I can totally see this being real on tiktok and people underestimating it, finding the hand, tempting fate.

[@justjdnl]

​​​@@taylormade9748Personally I don't see how Mia's friends don't suck. Sadly enough they're you average superficial teen friends. They aren't people you imo should associate yourself with as they only enable harmful behaviour for kicks. They don't actually care about you; they hang out with you as long as you do what they do, and shun you if you don't. They haven't got a clue what they're actually dealing with yet still do it for entertainment value. They don't comprehend the ramifications of their actions and avoid taking any responsibility. The whole movie is an allegory for drug use, peer pressure, toxic relationships and depression. All this being said I do think Mia _is_ responsible for Riley's situation. With her vulnerable mental state, possession addiction and toxic environment influencing her bad decision-making.

[@taylormade9748]

@@justjdnl the only person who was Mia’s friend was Jade. So I’ll agree that Jade should have never went out there with Mia. I don’t think any of them knew what they were getting into it though

[@justjdnl]

@@taylormade9748 Oh for sure, Riley and Jade are fine in my books. It's people like Joss and Hayley who are the problem I'd say. Still they all, minus Jade, participated in letting an underaged boy perform an objectively troubling act-who btw only did it to fit in with older kids. Hayley and Joss knew what happened to the brothers at the start of the film yet still wanted to try it out with their "friends". As soon as Riley, a literal introverted pure child got hurt they went on about who to blame so that they wouldn't get into trouble. Also, just like with drugs or alcohol, these kids didn't take into account (or simply didn't care) that some people are more susceptible to things like chemical substances or psychological interference (concerning mental health). Socially pressuring them into an unexplainable clearly scary phenomenon aka the possession, explicitly or even implicitly, is simply a subculture that lacks people taking accountability for irresponsible, potentially harmful behaviour. In the end they're your typical teens messing with things they don't know but think they'll manage.

[@ra.gonzzo]

I’m really hoping that the prequel and sequel end up being released as one movie where we can see somebody try to get revenge for Mia and Duckett along with some flashbacks to the lore of the hand. Something that irked me was how much Mia was scapegoated by the ppl around her throughout the movie even when they know that the evil spirits can take over and use their trauma against them and how a lot of other ppl were guilty af along the way too like Joss and haley being enablers and running away from responsibility as soon as they can, as well as whoever gave the hand to duckett. It’s also really sad to think about how lost Mia was and desperate for a connection, how some things could have been avoided if her dad had just communicated better or her friends had cared enough about her, only for her life to end with her best friend technically killing her and thinking her dad died by her own hand.

[@nailinthefashion]

THAT WOULD BE SAWRRRRRR GOOARDDDDDDDRD uggggghh Personally I want a sequel where it's the spirits' POV, we revisit Mia who is losing herself, and then someone breaks the cycle by fulfilling her lingering desire to reconcile w everyone

[@ra.gonzzo]

@@nailinthefashion I would 100% be down for this idea too, I just want Mia to finally find peace and for the makers of the hand to get their dues 🥲.

[@haileys1701]

I like the idea of that however, I love that this movie was basically stupid teenagers that found a random object that can possess spirits. Sometimes that element of ignorant bliss in paranormal movies is fun.

[@lexg5317]

When i first watched this and they hit the kangaroo and they thought their only choices were "ignore it or kill it" i kept being like "Ask for help!!! Call the rspca!! Call a wildlife org!!Reach out for help!" and i think that is very much The Point. That sometimes people struggle with issues and they may think theres no way out, but there is help if you reach out for it to the right place. Like one bit i rly like in this movie is how by camera framing+effects we get the idea that Mia feels disconnected by the adults around her (except from her bffs mum who....tbh isnt even home most of the time). In the first shot we see Mia in, she is washing the dishes and someone is talking to her but we dont hear them properly or see their face. Then later on, whenever she speaks with her dad, he is always in the shadows and his face is obscured. We only see his face near the end of the movie when he makes an active effort to connect with her. But by that time, its too late. Also finally, another thing that is The Whole Point of this movie is that teenagers sometimes do stupid things and dont have the life experience and mental capacity to deal with things. This extends to irresponsible drug use(ie use of the hand), risk taking behaviour, coping with trauma, giving in to peer pressure etc etc. So while i do agree that they all made some mad choice, i also understand that theyre messed up shithead teens so ofc theyre not going to make the best choices.

[@kiarrabella2986]

At the end some people think Mia jumped but I think Jade pushed her. Because we saw that Mia wasn’t able to kill the kangaroo but Riley was which might be a genetic thing or whatever. But when I saw jade I thought she would be the type to put the kangaroo out of its misery so pushing Mia to save her brother would’ve just been something she did without hesitation

[@cameronmarter6536]

tell me why Trin's all "oh my god, can't believe I didn't put it together that the kid is the kangaroo at the beginning of the movie" and I'm sitting over here like "🤯🤯🤯Trin is the smartest woman alive"

[@iluvcorbin123]

"i think the villain is... the dead mom?? yeah." LMAOOOO

[@mirraculous]

the editing is giving LUXURY!!!

[@adamsmithering3587]

Absolutely loved this film! Probably in my top 3 horror movies of all time!

[@coolboss999]

I saw this in theaters. I have to saw that whenever Riley trued to hurt himself, I flinched and I couldnt look at the screen. It just made me feel so bad for him 😭

[@courtkendell]

this one didn’t scare me in a classic way, but it got under my skin. it made me feel disgusted, revolted, and uneasy. like, seriously uneasy.

[@nyxldx]

I can't help but wheeze at the end with the "new" kids doing the same thing 'cause the one that speaks Greek is so obviously not a native. The accent was thick

[@chandrawagner4061]

I saw this at the drive ins. We had trouble finding the movie so we missed the opening and the kangaroo and we were still blown away. The camera work was the most creative ive seen in years, the main actress and riley were absolutely amazing. The drug allegory was so good. As soon as i finished it i wanted to watch it again. Me and the party we went to see it with had fun discussing how much was in her head and how much was real.

[@ayanna969]

SHES BACKKKKK - im soooooo excited for the A24 takeover !!!

[@hellotaya]

AUSSIE REPRESENTTT this movie was filmed in my state and it's SO GOOD im glad you loved it

[@mikeyb.2203]

I MISSED YOU TRIN SO MUCH. You are one of the first reaction channels I started watching and still keep me cracking up with your reactions. Thanks for supporting the strike where you can.❤ Welcome back!

[@carsyngatlin]

From the bottom of my heart thank you for watching this, I now know I could not

[@annabananabones08]

I was able to see this twice in theaters. Such an incredible experience. It just stays with you

[@jan-rn5jw]

watched this movie in theatres and I was so pleasantly surprised from the gore to the building tension and the unexpected ending!!!

[@rainbowmoonlight._.]

I’m glad to know that you share my fear of this movie! I watched it in theaters and was absolutely terrified!

[@camidumbass]

i’m more terrified of the people saying it is their favorite movie or it’s a classic…

[@haileys1701]

The concept, the details, and the aesthetics of this movie was stunning to me. I’ve seen it twice now and what I love about it the most is the depth of the main character we get to see. I’ve already ranked this a 5/5 on my letterboxd. I think overtime, this movie will have to be an example of a classic paranormal horror movie. What I would like to see in horror movies is the POV from the paranormal side. We don’t get to see that, and that makes me hopeful at least so that we get more storytelling horror movies.

[@KingKong-dx3dp]

It's really interesting viewing this through the perspective of a drug overdose case some of the points Trin bring up seem quite ironic though of course her stating for the support of the main character but things like "you two in the back are supposed to be experts" more often than not your druggy friends aren't going to be pharmaceutical experts to know what's in the drugs they're handing you and why things turn out that way when they do as well as well as the motive for Mia to save Riley by having him do it one more time seems parallel to the mindset of a drug fiend too far gone unable to see the negative effects of their affliction instead suggesting just "one more" will/might help said victim "I just need one more man" and it'll help or it'll help me figure it out... Side not I have spoken to friends who have tried dmt and how they speak of it almost being a supernatural out of body experience where you die and are reborn ergo "ego death" and the characters in the movie seem to be in a translucid state akin to death/dying seems really interesting obviously we all had the same takeaway but I just wanted to type out my thoughts...

[@frenchiesr6]

im literally so happy everytime she posts its crazy

[@abbyrosec753]

I am so happy to see another horror fan who had to take a lap after that dog scene!!! And then after the Riley bit, I stopped for about ten minutes and wasn't sure I wanted to keep watching. Not because the movie was bad, but because it was so effective in disturbing me. I'm so glad I finished it out, though. The ending was so cool.

[@wdsour]

the end is soooo original it was perfect

[@emmerson_cave7045]

Your videos are going to be the most consistent thing I do in college I just know it

[@allier1867]

thank god the dog makeout sesh was cgi right? because it made me want to puke too

[@shelbystafford4199]

Literally watching you watch this made my heart pound at moments just remembering that theater experience

[@kaleehall6271]

love the support for the strikes!!! great reaction as always❤❤

[@IVNHYPRFNK]

A24 is a distribution company not a studio. They just buy Independent movies so they can release them worldwide and international

[@1Claudia99Carvalho7]

they started as a distribution company but are now an indie film studio as well. Some they buy (like this one) and some they produce

[@elizastubbs8248]

The reason the characters find certain things funny is cause they reflect Australian teens and young adults well, we take the piss out of most things and in while it seems rude to someone who’s not from Australia, its not really seen as rude or mean here.

[@anitak9613]

saw this in theatres & i loved this movie- I loved how they subverted the expectation of her putting riley out of his misery, like the dear, as you mentioned. and that montage >>>

[@mirraculous]

A24 thank you for making trin come back to this🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@JSPokemonYT]

Talk to Me (2023) was fucking phenomenal!

[@logan4231]

This movie gave me a panic attack lol. I’ve watched martyrs while eating, but I can’t handle the idea of being responsible for someone and then being injured or killed. Hereditary also makes me freak for the same reason

[@Tuxxxido]

I watched this right before you uploaded and I don’t even know how to feel about this movie , it’s got great cinematography acting sound design and an eerie atmosphere overall , it left me feeling so bleak at the end and I don’t know if that was the intention of the director but the film seems less like a horror and more a tragic story . There’s obviously the allegory of drugs and addiction there too , I’ve never seen a film that made me feel sorry for the people being tortured but I was honestly hopeless for riley and Mia . I think the ending was really well done but I wish some themes could’ve been stated abit more clearly but I’m definently gonna enjoy it more on a rewatch

[@hermionesings]

Hey Trin, this commentary/reaction was really good. I have an A24 recommendation called Beau Is Afraid. By the same guy who made Hereditary and Midsommar. It's deep, funny, and kind of scary. Definitely makes you think, and Joaquin Phoenix does a great job as the lead.

[@jan-rn5jw]

I will admit that ive never felt more discomfort during a horror movie during the foot sucking scene LMAO

[@josiea.3855]

Idk the dog scene was pretty uncomfortable too 😭😭

[@Quzga]

You have to watch Past lives! Best romance I've ever seen, truly amazing writing. A24 is delivering big time lately

[@chinomsophantomhive1358]

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 🎉🎉

[@jnkzns]

been waiting literally the whole day thank u for this 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mirraculous]

BEEN WAITING ALL DAY FOR THIS VIDEO FINALLY

[@elio3372]

when i first watched it i checked ur channel to see if u already made a video on it and im so happy u finally did!! honestly im not much of a fan of supernatural horror but this one really was so crazy good, didnt think i would like it this much

[@Reactiondaily0]

I think Riley got possessed by another spirit b/c when a spirit is possessing them they like throw their head back while choking. That’s what happened when everyone else had that same reaction. So what I think happened is the mom (or the spirit pretending to be her mom) was kicked out & whoever Mia was talking about while she was possessed was waiting on them to let him play so that spirit can take over & clearly harm poor Riley. That’s what I think happened with that. Also Mia maybe realized that the spirit wanted Riley for good so at the last minute she took his place. That’s my thoughts love it watched it 3x already.

[@noa1817]

THE WAY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS

[@skitcentral.]

One of the greatest reactions to the film I’ve ever seen. Your reactions are amazing!

[@breannagroves9197]

I LOVEEEDDDD THIS FILM!!! ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN LATELY

[@nahzonih]

Been waiting to hear trins thoughts 😩

[@leahsdiary]

trinnnn you should make a patreon where you post the full movie reaction (i am too scared to watch this alone and need someone to watch it with whos just as scared as me)

[@aubreyrusso8819]

Every single time I’ve been traumatized by a horror movie it’s been Trin’s fault

[@kevintruong2948]

RAHHH. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

[@yoshimoons]

Glad to see u back.

[@fatoujeostar9092]

People be saying that Mia is being a snake for trying to get with Daniel but why was jade dating Mia’s ex in the first place???!!?

[@fatoujeostar9092]

@theashwoodfaerie Mia said she split with Daniel in February after 2 years of dating

[@tiffanysenorine]

I’ve been waiting for this one👏🏾

[@bluebaconjake405]

Trin: -maybe their brothers -no i think theyre not -theyre besties -right? Girl, theyre twins 😭

[@erinl222]

kennie and trin posting talk to me commentaries on the same day??? I love it when the movie girlies are in sync!! 🤌🏼🤌🏼

[@antoniatomaselli5338]

Haiiii bb 🥰❤ I'm happy to have another video from you and this is one of the best reacts I've seen from you so far 😂❤

[@narie2232]

i've been waiting for this oneeeee

[@ekek258]

one A24 film i watched in theatres was “men” and it is WILD. and gross and creepy idk. honestly you’d probably have to censor the entire end of the film if you were to cover it. not sure if i even recommend it 😭

[@aninarose5158]

I NEED THIS TRIN VIDEO!! I saw it in theatres w some friends without knowing anything about it and we almost left the theatre a few times bc of how unsettling and real it felt. The best way to describe that movie is the feeling of walking alone late at night and the man walking behind you starts to slowly pick up pace. No real reason to be scared but there also definitely is lmao.

[@HectorGonzalez9096]

Sad thing is that she didn't want to be friends anymore like in the beginning their were hints she wasnt glad to be around her.
