What a ride this was. Pretty clever and well paced. This movie gives you what when a secret comes back to haunt in the worst way. The effects are quite good in this as well as the deaths. The things we do to get verified on social media platforms. This felt like some next level exorcism here but yet keep it from being an official one with how this is a hoax show. I mean even demons want some time in the spotlight, right? I can see this paired well with media invoked supernatural event type movies like Grave Encounters, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, or The Last Exorcism.
I'm very disappointed with the film. The film takes place in only one place, and with time, the film becomes more and more crap, but on the other hand, I have to highlight the film effects of those there were many. Unfortunately, the plot and story of the film were a bit like a parody of horror, and the end of the film only confirmed it. There is a lot of disappointment from the high expectations of this film, but at least I didn't get bored as with other horror movies and sometimes I laughed, because certain passages of the film were more ridiculous, mainly because you were amazed at what screenwriters can do for bullshit. It's just a shame that with a movie that could have been good it has become more of a farce.
