She plays the role of a very intelligent mother to Jade and Riley. She suspected something was off from the start but unfortunately she couldn't understand it until it was too late. She shows just how powerful a mother's instinct can be, especially a single mother parenting teenagers.

Hayley- Zoe Terakes

We all have that friend who your parent would always warn you to stay away from because of the negative influence that can have. Yes, Hayley was just like that. The friend who would dare you to do something really crazy and dumb and would joke about it later.

Joss- Chris Alosio
He and Hayley were the two friends who managed the game and led the whole process. Birds of a father, am I right?

Theme

Horror, paranormals, depression, suicide, peer group influence.

General Performance.

The delivery was on point and it was easy to relate to each of the characters. You can feel the emotions involved in each scene. If you are faint of heart, don't watch this movie. The thrill and horror was evident in each scene. The suspense was enough to keep me glued to my seat throughout the whole movie.

My Opinion.

I would rate this movie a solid 7.5/10 due to the thrill and horror portrayed and dispatched beautifully. As a huge fan of such movies, I have to say that I wasn't dissapointed and it's definitely worth seeing.

Conclusion

I started by saying there a couple of things we could learn from watching such movies.

1. The first one being, don't mess with things you do not fully understand.
   2)Avoid negative peer pressure, when you finally get into trouble, you'll be left all alone.
   3)If you feel down or depressed, consider talking about it with your family and loved ones, and if it doesn't work, seek professional help. It is never wise to try to bury it deep inside, it will eventually resurface.
   I hope you've probably learned something from this review, and if and when you check it out, let me know what you think about this beautiful movie.
