When the little kid said, "Can I have 60 seconds," I tapped out...


Nice opening scene, then you got about half an hour of teenage angst until the next good scene. Anyway.. It's like the script writers have very low opinions of children and teenagers. You got this fossil of a hand that allows you to not only talk to the dead, but let them possess you. Absolute proof that communication with the dead is real. It's as groundbreaking as finding out Aliens exist, or we live in a simulation, etc. What do they do with it? Have drinking games! LOL! They all want to take a turn being possessed as if it's as normal as vaping or doing weed. Nobody has any concerns about where it came from, what it could mean, is it dangerous. The elephant in the room, is the hand in the room. There should be a ton of questions these kids should be asking. I guess they did ask, and the answer was something like, "I got it from a guy who got it from a guy." Okay, cool, lets get back to getting possessed! I imagine myself as a teenager in such a scenario, I would never want a turn, and even if I did, my next question is... how do we know for sure it will leave my body? It's just an unrealistic scenario where everyone is this carefree and reckless with the discovery of the century. LOL! The black girl's illogical excitement for it, and to even describe being possessed as feeling amazing. After witnessing the black girl, you should be scared as hell. But everyone around wants a go of this rollercoaster ride! Even the scared kid, illogically, wants a go.. please, please, just give me 60 seconds. It's so stupid. I know teenagers can be stupid, but this is actually insulting to them. I don't care how the movie ends, I don't care if any of them survives. None of them are likeable.
