I loved this movie! It builds tension right from the start and scared the crap outta me over and over again without being cheap. This is a well-built movie all around and I can't believe I've never heard of it!

I was about to try to explain the premise but I myself went into this completely blind and I think it's better that way, honestly.

Well shot, well acted, great premise, great score, scary as hell, dramatic, and intense. If you like scary movies that rely more on tension than gore or jump scares, I can't recommend this enough!

A few things: 1. It's in Italian with English subtitles so if you can't stand subtitles then I feel really bad for you for missing out on all the wonderful subtitled horror titles out there, especially from Asia, but I get it - some people just don't like subtitles. 2. IMDb inexplicably says this is a Mexican movie when it's in Italian and set in Italy, so ignore that. 3. The movie starts rather abruptly and you don't see the title card or any credits until almost ten minutes in. It felt a little weird but ultimately I liked just being thrown into the movie like that.

The worst thing I will say about this movie is that it slows down a little at around the three quarter mark when I wanted the tension to keep going and building, but that's a tiny gripe.

As of this writing in late June 2021, it is on Amazon Prime, which is where I watched it. It's worth buying or renting from wherever, in my opinion. Highly recommended.

Edit: Looks like it's gone from Amazon, but you can watch it on Tubi for free now (3/25/2022)

Watching or rather comparing two movies with similar themes, especially in the horror genre, can be quite unflattering for one of the movies that are being compared. While this isn't totally bad, it also is not really good either. Bad moments include acting choices, the "evil lurking" and way too many jump scares that surely get way too annoying. And by jump scares I'm being literal: people jumping into frame to scare other people.

Having said that, there are redeeming factors and I'd say especially those who have not seen It follows might find more interesting suspension levels in this, than those who have and might have a higher standard of horror - in many regards. So maybe for some horror heads this will work, but casual watchers should stick to It follows or something else.

TLDR: don't bother with this movie. Go watch It Follows and The Ring instead and mash their curses together.

An app that allows you to see ghosts? Sounds pretty cool. Based on that, it should be a good movie. While the effects are decent and most of the acting is good, the fact that they have to download the app into another person's phone every 24 hours is more than a little outlandish. One person would very quickly run out of people. Let's say one person gets seven people. Assume those 7 get another 7. It adds up quickly. Either the person already has the cursed app, or they're dead. There's no getting rid of it. At least with The Ring, your timer disappears if you have another person watch the video. And with It Follows, it only circles back to you if the person you slept with gets caught.
