The childhood best friends Hennig (Debbie) and Cooke (Laine) never used to keep any secrets between each other. Hennig find a board which was Ouija board and tries a solo session all by her with it. But soon after, she end up killing herself with that. The distress of Cooke force her to find weather she died by herself or if it is related to some extra sinister.
Despite of the refusal of Laine to accept her friend who would simply take her own life, she was ready to take the risk. Pete (Smith) who was Debbie’s boy-friend was also a grief-stricken towards the suddenness of all of these. But Laine clearly decides and ready for one more session while taking all the protocols that are necessary with the board, ropes and planchette. Later Trevor (boy-friend), Sarah (Coto) who was her Goth- chic sister and Isabelle (Santos) who was another good friend of her decides to proceed with it.
They later started doing it at Dabbie’s house which is left empty after her family left for a while. They had started it immediately and the response is shown from the planchette as soon as they begin the spell things out. Soon after that, they find themselves in a broad daylight scenario which was quite haunted with various types of ominous signs around.
While flossing her teeth, one of them gets picked up, the race against time begins. Laine again gets freaked out with cobbles together. They decide to get to the bottom of the things if they want to survive from getting killed one after another. The advice of Laine’s grandma was also found to be helpful about how evil forces can be neutralized that are after them.
There are plenty of telegraphing was found out of the jump scares which were very safely played by Director Stiles. Such scenarios helped a lot in the dilution of the impact with the scenes which would have created even more serious scares. But no one ever prefers an accidental humour that too in a horror film.
The capability of Cooke was proved with her role and did support the film to stand still. There are some better points such as, the meeting of Shaye the old woman and Laine win the psychiatric hospital. But it would have even better scarier sinister specters were included.
