Host: parents' guide
Best for ages 15 and up. Not formally rated.
A short, clever horror film told entirely over a video call, best for older teens who can handle harsh language and sudden violent deaths. Six friends hold an online séance during the 2020 lockdown, and one makes up a story about a school friend who killed himself, which seems to invite something malicious. The first half is creepy noises and jump scares; the last stretch kills characters quickly by burning, a fall and a snapped neck, with some blood. Expect frequent f-words and a c-word, plenty of drinking, and a suicide story at the center of the plot. We suggest 15.
What's in it
Violence
StrongMost of the friends die in a rapid final stretch seen on glitchy webcams: one is lifted into the air and her neck snapped, one burns, one falls from a window, and one has her head smashed into her keyboard, leaving her face bloody.
Language
StrongFrequent strong language, including many f-words and s-words and at least one c-word, plus "twat," "bitch," "piss," "crap" and "God" as an exclamation.
Sex and nudity
MildA couple shares a brief kiss, and there is a passing joke about a porn website. No nudity.
Drinking, drugs and smoking
ModerateThe friends drink wine and beer through the call and play a drinking game with shots, and one character vapes. No drug use.
Scary or intense scenes
StrongBuilds from creaks and moving objects to relentless jump scares, a rotting corpse, a demonic figure glimpsed for a moment, and friends helplessly watching each other die on screen. The everyday video-call setting can make it linger.
Sensitive topics
- Suicide
Worth talking about
The trouble starts because one friend invents a story about a classmate's suicide as a prank. Talk about why joking about real tragedies can hurt people, even when no one in the room seems affected.
