Or both!

Just like me fr

sounds like my life tbh 😂

The taste 🤌

True! Lmaoooo

@kizmiaz513 oh shit, I didn't even think of that. That's tragic. I know it's just a movie but I hope he finds peace

@@kizmiaz513he survived. He was going up because hospital morgues are in the basement

There’s rumors about a sequel being made, and I’d be interested to see if her father is the main character in that one. While Kennie interpreted the hand as drugs-which definitely works- I more interpreted it as the role grief can play in life, and how mishandling of it (Mia being entirely alone with her father lying to her and nobody really caring about the fact that she lost her mom) can drive someone to the worst places. It also shows how suffering has become such a spectacle in the world, with bored teenagers recording and playing with people’s dead souls, as they wander helplessly in limbo, for entertainment. If there is a sequel, I’d assume the father scours the world for the hand, trying to find Mia or his wife, which ultimately may destroy him.

I think they mean heaven. @@kissit012

That was the first time I wasn't happy to see some innocent person survive a horror movie. Tbh, death would have been kinder for him.

Agreed! Every actress you named has done stellar work in the horror genre, some of the best performances of any genre in a given year. Their being continually overlooked is frustrating

Agreed! Actors in horror should be given more praise and Oscar appreciation as acting scared is super challenging because most of us haven't experienced such emotions before, unlike a drama film. I have never been chased by a killer so I wouldn't know how to act in a scene where that happens. Horror should be more appreciated

Facts lupita killed it in US. I was genuinely afraid

You speak nothing but facts. Horror has always been my favorite genre. Not just because I like being scared, but when a horror movie can capture these deeper feelings of fear and sadness and anger and loneliness is amazing for me.

It's respected in the film industry. However, horror is almost never considered for awards for some reason.

CZ's World has a lot more horror lore breakdowns which let me (a fellow wimp) enjoy horror lore!

wimpy shrimpys unite

Indeed! I like horror, but I don't want to actually see it, you know?

​@@itscjrodgers I'll check it out, thanks!

I used to be able to hang but have become pretty sensitive in recent yrs. Maybe because I lost like 30 people in my life since like 2019. All this started with a friend being found unalived and taken to pieces on my birthday and the trauma rolled straight on through the panini press. I have gone to therapy? But yeah. I usually like happy family movies now and romantic comedies. I even cannot watch walking dead or fear the walking dead the last few yrs!!!

It's such a smart detail!

I didn’t notice damn now I have to rewatch

Right? I had really hoped that she caught that at the end. And I found it so interesting how they showed her "mom" throughout the movie. Because they are said to lose their power the longer that they're in them, it was so interesting to see her keep the mom form in the beginning, but the longer she stayed, the more she started to fall apart and become wet and bloated like her original form. And the water sounds you could hear whenever she was around. It was just a really smart decision.

I think it's important to point out that the spirit isn't really her mom and is just another spirit posing her as in order to manipulate and lie to Mia.

@blueismylove3128 Yeah, we said that! The initial, malevolent, bloated spirit from Mia's first possession. It's cool, right? It's right in front of you, but it's never explicitly said. I liked that part of it

@@shayjustice3654 It was implied but I don't think either of y'all explicitly said it wasn't really her so I was just clarifying for anyone else.

@blueismylove3128 "Mia realizes her mom has been the malevolent spirit from her initial possession, manipulating her all along" from OP's post and "the more she started to fall apart and become wet and bloated, like her original form" as I described it, seemed pretty forward to me, but I digress lol. Thanks for any possible clarification that people may need.

the directors did confirm that the foot stuff was actually cgi so thank god for the actors not having to actually do that LOL

@@sjlbeatsacc2431ok but what about the dog? I’m guessing it’s cgi because I hope it was

@@Honeyin2013 not too sure about the dog but its highly unlikely that its real because they would have animal trainers on set so its most likely cg

Acting was good all around. During Mia's first use of the hand (after letting a ghost in) it was very eartha kitt. She could play her in a biopic

@@Honeyin2013 I saw the movie pretty early on and immediately looked that up after watching, it is indeed CGI! I hope this helps u sleep a bit better at night lol

You can also hear water/being underwater sound effects, and the first night after using the hand when Mia is asleep we have the water shadows running over her face from the rainstorm, etc. It's a really cool touch to hint at what's going on!

And Duckett's brother did say that they can impersonate people/loved ones

I mean, yeah. I thought that the movie makes it kind of clear that her mom was never there, it was all the malevolent spirit trying to hurt her, using her most vulnerable things against her.

Not a theory when it's the whole point lol

⁠@@AnnekeOosterinkI think the very first one may have been her mom for a moment, after that it was the drowned woman.

Yeah I agree with this, but it’s interesting that spirits can be possessed by other spirits!

​@@shirin9452I don't think that's what's happening. It's moreso a doppelganger/skinwalker sort of deal.

@@shirin9452the spirit was imitating what Mia wanted to see to lure her into keeping the door open so it could escape. It wasn’t a spirit to spirit possession

@@kissit012 oh whoops thought you were saying the drowned lady brainwashed the mother ghost and I was like well I haven’t seen the film so maybe? Ok, that fits more with what I thought. I thought the drowned lady just took the form of her mother, and slowly lost her ability to look like the mom the longer she was in Mia. Question, was the mother ever even there? I thought maybe the first person who possessed Riley was the mom, but then a stronger spirit…took over? (The stronger spirit was the one that possessed Mia told Riley to run from). We know drowned lady and whatever possessed Riley both wanted Riley to die because they could then have him forever. But in the end, there’s no reason to think the mom was ever there at all. Mia was possessed by the drowned lady first, who while inside her might have been able to figure out exactly how to look and sound like Mia’s mother. She also stayed with Mia for longer than 90 seconds. So it’s possible that she told some other ghost what to do to convince Mia that her mother was inside Riley, thereby making her want to go over the time limit for Riley. Now Mia and Riley are both possessed and over the 90 second limit, and drowned lady can convince Mia to help kill him by acting as Mia’s mother. It’s possible that once they had Riley, the drowned lady might have told Mia to kill herself to join her mom or something. That way they’d get both Riley’s soul to feast on and Mia to join the lost souls. It’s convoluted honestly but I guess they’ve had a lot of time to work it out!

@@blueismylove3128 oh ok that makes more sense lol. I was like well, I haven’t seen the movie so maybe a ghost can brainwash a ghost?? Idk

My sister did the same thing at that scene lol

i had the opposite... my dad brought my 10yo brother so he wont miss out Boi i was basically appointed as his loyal eye covers. He needed it for the toes and the dog

@@nightowlowo149 My question is how your 10 y/o brother was allowed into a rated R film

@@theseusspace I worked at a popular movie theater chain and anyone over 21 can bring a child over the age of 6 to a rated R movie. Sometimes they're not allowed at the evening showings but that was the general rule.

@@theseusspace like williams said, kids can be brought into rated r films.y parents brought me and my siblings into a few.

Good movies and a good night eats tbh 👀

this idea is fire

Love this!!

Genuinely such a good idea. "Welcome to good movies and goodnight, the series where I talk about good movies while taking my makeup off" is a cute subversion of the usual series introduction.

Yes good movies and Goodnight, would be a nice evolution of good movies and a glam

I love this theory 😮 it make a lot of sense with what Kenny said about how the hand symbolize drug use...

I definitely think so, because in the beginning Riley and his friend were talking about Duckett (the first kid that died) and how he was a so-called "try-hard" aka somebody who was probably desperately trying to connect with other people but couldn't. This thing is taking advantage of anyone who's feeling disconnected from everyone 😭

@rimacho9741 yesss! And we've all heard how harder drugs can affect people with underlying mental health issues, so in this sense, Mia was an easy target for the spirits

@kkuudandere oh I missed that part, thank you for mentioning it.. so they do have a type, lonely, vulnerable, going through depression or loss of someone important because they need that to "get in". Reminds me of how demons' possessions are described in other movies, same pattern lol

@@definception6504 indeed it's true but i think it is an original way to portray possession in classic movies too

❤️

Congratulations on your recovery! ❤

@kiwid3628 omg thank you beautiful😊😊

so proud of you, lovey!

@evelynvas3800 thank you tons you gorgeous soul ❤️❤️

I'm so happy for you! Congrats 🎉🧡😊

Theoretically, you could argue she accidentally pushed her or Mia accidentally stumbled in the tussle :( Still sadder than Mia gaining a moment of clarity and choosing to sacrifice herself, but better than Jade purposefully pushing her

Omg i thought mia jumped into the st

@@minnies-verse I think it 100% was on purpose to save her brother I feel for Mia and her story don’t get me wrong but can you really blame Jade? She didn’t have much choice and what happened to her brother could have been prevented if Mia listened

@@Michaelabeauty96 I don't blame Jade but it's still really fucking sad to think that she was pushed. She's forever the villian of their story but WE know the truth. She was a victim who was pushed to the edge. Metaphorically and Physically.

I’m saying , I don’t know why jade had to…push her, and if the part 2 does involve this group again (which I doubt cuz I think they said something about it being the origins of the hand) then I’d see Mia trying to get through from her purgatory

You can be both. Yeah she was manipulated but she also ignored Jade and her mom telling her that Riley was OK. That’s not something that the family can, or should overlook. They are victims of her mistakes.

if the film had followed regular horror conventions the protaganists would have been Jade and Riley, and Mia would have been the tragic villain they needed to defeat. Even the way they spoke about Mia in relation to the drug metphor, that shes the one who brought it into their lives. Im glad they flipped the perspective cause its WAY more interesting, tragic and empathetic to addicts

​@@mphoapril6617that was such an interesting detail for them to add. Each time substances were mentioned, Mia was the one being blamed even though it's likely that Jade and David tried experimenting too.

That’s how addiction works

i only saw this video and not the movie cause i would be too scared but this got me crying already cause, relatableee

Two things can be true 👍🏾

Her mom may have never been there at all. The spirit imitates what you desire to get access to you. Riley would know what Mia wants and it probably sensed her as a easy target because of her grief when she went the first time

​@kissit012 its probably the same spirit that possessed daniel idk

It might be the case because when he saw the spirit he didn't seem frightened like the rest, it's like he recognised her

I think when Mia touched his hand after realizing it was her mom the water spirit that was in her after being under for more than 90 seconds transferred to Riley

@@user-li1hi1ls8r I think it’s already been pretty proven that the spirit wasn’t really Mia’s mum, but another thing that proves that is that when people are using the hand they can see the spirit they’ve called before they decide to let them in. I’m pretty sure if it had really been Mia’s mum there Riley would have said something but he didn’t because it was the drowned ghost.

To be fair Mia stole the hand, and even though Hayley and Joss are mad with her for it, they never even asked it back. Once Mia says wants to try the thing again with Riley they just go and after that, Mia just leaves the hand at house. So whoever grabbed it and passed it around stole it from her house and somehow just knew the rules of how to use it.

In other reactions some ppl hypothesized that there are possibly multiple hands all over the world 🤯

Do you think everyone at a party where someone dies of an overdose stop doing drugs?

Some ppl theorize it’s the other hand of the medium but looking at Kennie’s clips, both the hand the kids use and the foreign hand are left hands. So either it’s the same hand or there are multiple hands. I personally like to think it’s the same hand to represent how no matter the many examples of the consequences of drug usage, addiction, and/or vices in general, people will still end up falling victim to these vices and history inevitable repeats itself.

To be fair Joss never seemed to give af at any point.

Yes please it was so good and I play it quite often

☠️

Okay is it just me or did she not tell us she released it lol I was just looking through Spotify and noticed the album art. Album is a whole bop

@@02Venusit was a community post! And I think since then she just mentions in intros or outros of videos. Yeah it’s soo good 😅

@@02Venus no she told us it was just in a community post that’s how I found it.

SAME. Jade should’ve reported every last one of them to the police (her ass ain’t innocent either but their actions regarding Riley were beyond unacceptable)

​@@8teezyfor the most part jade is innocent. She didn't want her brother taking part and wasn't in the room when it happened. Plus... she did call 911 or at least someone did because Riley went to the hospital and police interviewed the kids

@@randomhooman2448 You’re right, I meant innocent of doing dumb, dangerous shit in general.

No I agree, the fact that most of them would do something and then just decide to stop and freeze really annoyed me. Their reaction time was non-existent and really frustrating. Every single character was so unlikeable and 1 dimensional. As a lover of supernatural horror I was honestly really disappointed.

​@@8teezy jade didn't do anything. Infact she was the one who was firmly against it. It was Mia who was so weird and disrespected jades decision not to put her brother at risk AND she was the reason the spirit was in longer than 50 seconds

Same😄😂

Me too! I don't know what day it is until she uploads!

I keep thinking you’re me

Right,sameee

That was one of the things I really liked about it as well. It's so rare to see teens actually acting like real teens in movies/shows like this. I'm only 21, and I definitely recall people around me acting exactly like Mia or even Joss when I was in high school. Aside from the way they talk, it's something very accurate about the way they interact with each other that differs from how you would as an adult. I can't put my finger on it, but it's like everyone is overly familiar with each other and in each other's personal space but real, genuine connections are lacking.

You stole this 😂

Kennie's reaction to it had me in stitches as well

Agreed, though I would've liked it even more if it wasn't for literally EVERY tiktok and insta reel using that song lol

@@elenabarbieri1286was it already popular on tik tok? Or did the movie make it popular ? Lol

Excellent point! Mia was the easy target- a soul completely ready for the possessing. And Her grief (or lack of properly grieving) made her the perfect host.

True. I haven't seen the movie so I don't know EXACTLY how it is portrayed but at least from what I can tell in this review they're making it a very clear drug reference- peering into the other side makes you TRIP BALLS apparently, and to a bunch of disaffected lost kids it must feel tremendous... even if one small part of me still goes "I mean I get that it feels good but those are THE RESTLESS DEAD THEY WANT YOUR SOULS IDIOTS". But kids trying something destructive that still feels good is someting I can believe more than kids trying a seance that IMMEDIATELY leads to all of them getting scratched up and decapitated by murder ghosts, with plenty of witnesses and descriptions warning them well in advance that the seance WILL lead to murder ghosts.

@@goranisacson2502 Even as part of the audience, it convinced ME for a split second, "well... maybe I'd try it one time." Which goes back to the drug parallels: of course you think you can just try it because MOST people have fun and turn out okay. Some people turn out badly, but that would never be ME, right?🙃

@@kkuudandere And then it turns out you're a Riley and grasping it even ONCE gets you insta-possessed and sent to Super-Hell. 🥲

She's gorgeous

This

THIS!! YOU DESCRIBED IT SO WELL!! "Visceral" is such an AMAZING word for it,, I looooove this movie with a PASSION! As a horror movie fanatic who has a thrill for that fine line between perfectly disgusting and just plain disturbing, this movie is a MUST for every horror fan!!

Against the wall goes hard!🤠

Her song northern lights is so good

I did :)

Definitely not for me. There's something about this film that's sooo creepy. Downright evil. It starts a primal fear in me.

@@Winter-Alpha-Omegayes, it can definitely get in ya head. Tried not to get too deep into it, but it was overall good for the genre. Havent been disturbed like that since the movie “Smile”

She literally forgot to pick him up in the beginning of the movie and he had to call Mia like she did not care about him at all

@@burbujas4448 I’ve seen it twice Now and I completely forgot about that😭😭smh horrible

Yeah i thought she was awful

Yes! I’m so mad she left him in the room with them when it’s pretty obvious what was going to happen

@@Honeyin2013 exactly! I would’ve dragged my brother out of there but his ear 😭

yes please, something less traumatic (?)

thank you

Addicts don't care when they're in that deep. Addiction is a monster 👻

😭😭 not look like she bite
