Joking With Possession Until It Turns Into a Deadly Tragedy! – Movie Recap | Horror Recap

0:00 The punishment of teenagers playing with the supernatural without knowing the risk. The film opens by showing a teenage boy named Cole who is searching for his younger brother Ducket at a house party. People there say Ducket has been acting strangely, possibly because he is drunk. When Cole finds out that Ducket has locked himself inside a bedroom, he immediately forces the door open and sees multiple wounds on Ducket's body. Shocked, Cole quickly takes his brother home. However, because people at the party are recording Ducket, Cole asks them to turn off their cameras to protect his brother. Suddenly, without any clear reason, Ducket stabs Cole in the chest, then ends his own life by stabbing himself in the eye. Elsewhere, a 17-year-old girl named Mia

0:47 holds a small gathering to commemorate the death of her mother, Ria, who passed away exactly 2 years earlier, together with family and close friends. Even after all this time, Mia is still grieving and often feels as if she hears her mother's voice. Meanwhile, her father, Max, is not very close to her because he is too busy with work. That night, Mia visits her best friend, Jade, who has a younger brother named Riley. The three of them are extremely close, and because Mia comes over so often, she is already treated like a daughter by Jade and Riley's mother, Sue. >> It's just a cold. >> Thank you. Still struggling with the loss of her mother, Mia wants to have some fun and invites Jade and Riley to

1:32 attend a house party hosted by their school friends Haley and Joss. At this party, many teenagers appear to be possessed, and this is treated as entertainment to the point that Haley even uploads the videos to social media. >> I don't know. It's a thousand% truth. Shouldn't be kissing horses. >> I'm like, >> "Sorry for ruining your phone day." When they arrive, many teenagers are already hanging out, drinking alcohol and smoking. Daniel is also there, Jade's boyfriend, who previously dated Mia. But despite that, their relationships remain on good terms. Eventually, the main event of the party begins, where some of them intentionally allow themselves to be possessed. Since this is the first time Mia and Jade attend such a party, they believe the possessions are nothing more than tricks. Curious, Mia decides to become one of the participants. She is told to

2:19 sit on a chair and is tightly restrained, so she will not hurt anyone. Haley then explains the rules of the game, saying that the possession must not last more than 90 seconds or the spirit will stay inside the body forever. First, a candle must be lit as a portal for spirits to enter their world, and later the candle must be blown out to close the portal again. After that, the medium connecting the human world and the spirit world is placed directly in front of Mia, which turns out to be a severed hand covered in strange writings. Mia is instructed to hold the hand while saying, "Talk to me." When the spirit appears, she must keep holding the hand and continue with, "I let you in." Terrified by the spirit in front of her, Mia immediately lets go. >> Yes, sir. Hands up. >> If you die while they're in you, I have

3:05 you forever. >> Cannot go for more than 90 seconds. Am I clear? Light the candle to open the door. Blow it out to close it. >> Now say, "Talk to me. Talk to me." >> She then repeats the ritual again, saying, "Talk to me." And a different spirit appears. >> Talk to me. Fighting her fear while still gripping the hand, Mia once again says, "I let you in." As Mia becomes possessed, her pupils dilate and the door in the room opens and closes by itself. >> Talk to me. >> Say it. I'll let you in.

3:58 >> She then says that Riley will also be possessed later. When the possession reaches 83 seconds, Joss prepares to pull the hand away, but the spirit's energy is far stronger this time, making it difficult for him to release it. When the time passes 90 seconds, the electricity suddenly goes out, and Mia tells everyone to run while staring straight at Riley. >> 83 seconds, J. >> Oh [ __ ] >> He's behind you now. AFTER THE PARTY ENDS, A FRIGHTENED Riley wants to sleep with his sister, but Jade immediately sends him away, saying that Riley is no longer a child. In the end,

4:46 Riley sleeps next to Mia, who is staying overnight in the living room. They talk for a while, and Mia shares that she often has the same recurring nightmare where she looks into a mirror, but sees no reflection of herself. Mia also tells Riley about her mother, Ria, who died from a sleeping pill overdose, explaining that the bedroom door had been locked, and Ria had tried to ask for help by scratching at the door, but unfortunately, she could not be saved. After Riley falls asleep, a mysterious hand is seen gently stroking his cheek. The next day, after school, Jade suggests holding another possession ritual at her house. Later that night after her mother Sue leaves town at 9:00, since this is not a party and they

5:31 are simply curious to experiment with the ritual, only a small group takes part, consisting of Mia, Jade, Daniel, Haley, Joss, Riley, and Riley's friend, James. Mia asks where the severed hand originally came from. And Joss and Haley explain that according to rumors, the hand once belonged to a satanic worshipper who had it cut off, then preserved and encased in ceramic so it would not decay. It is also said that the other hand exists somewhere, though no one knows where. The ritual begins and Daniel becomes the first person to try it. >> My time. Okay. Okay. Okay. >> Is that it? Talk to me. I'll let you in.

6:18 >> Once possessed, Daniel suddenly becomes overwhelmed with lust, as if inhabited by a spirit that enjoyed having sex when it was alive. Without realizing it, Daniel even starts kissing Jade's pet dog. And all of this is recorded by Haley. One by one, they continue having fun, taking turns being possessed with some crying afterward. Some becoming aggressive, others feeling terrified, singing, and even turning the severed hand itself into a joke. Eventually, Riley wants to try the ritual, but Jade

7:05 forbids him because he is still too young. Mia defends Riley, saying the possession game is just harmless entertainment and suggests that to be safe, Riley should only participate for 60 seconds. Annoyed that her brother keeps insisting, Jade storms out of the room, followed by her boyfriend Daniel, who tries to calm her down. Left behind, Riley boldly goes through with the ritual. >> What about 50? >> Okay, 50. >> Hands up. >> Talk to me. I'll let you in. >> She so much me. Unexpectedly, the spirit that appears before him takes the form of Mia's mother, Ria. The spirit apologizes and says that she misses Mia

7:53 deeply. Hearing her mother speak, Mia begs for more time to talk to her and Ria expresses how much she loves Mia and how proud she is of her. However, without realizing it, the 90-second limit passes and something truly horrific happens. >> Hey, that's 50 seconds. It's my mom, please. >> I'm so sorry. I'm so proud of you. The incident leaves Mia in shock. She stands frozen before going to the bathroom to wash the blood from her hands. Meanwhile, Jade contacts her mother to tell her that Riley has been hospitalized because his face is badly damaged. Shortly after, an ambulance arrives and takes Riley to the hospital. The police then question Mia and the

8:38 others, but none of them admit anything about the severed hand ritual and claim they do not know what happened to Riley. So, the police eventually allow them to go home. When Mia arrives home, her father, Max, asks what really happened to Riley, but Mia says she wants to rest and does not want to talk about it. She goes to her room, revealing that she has secretly brought the severed hand with her. Worried about Riley's condition, Mia later takes a taxi to the hospital and briefly sees Riley's horribly disfigured face. After that, Jade and her mother, Sue, immediately drive Mia away, blaming her for what happened to Riley. >> What are you doing here? Look at his face. What did my son ever do to you? Did you give him something? >> No bad. Mia, he's really [ __ ] bad. >> I I didn't hurt him. >> Moments later, Mia sees the reflection of her mother's spirit in a window. She

9:25 follows it into a bathroom where one of the stall doors suddenly slams shut and Ria's voice can be heard screaming for help. When Mia opens the door, no one is inside. Terrified by everything she has experienced, Mia is eventually taken home by Daniel after he notices her growing anxiety. Mia begs Daniel to stay with her that night because she is afraid to be alone. >> Mom was sad because she was trying to reach out. That night, Mia dreams that she is being intimate with Daniel. But the dream suddenly shifts and she sees the moment when her father, Max, desperately tries to save Ria as she overdoses. Mia suddenly jolts awake from her sleep. She then notices something in the corner of her room and sees a crawling female

10:10 spirit sucking on Daniel's foot. Horrified, Mia immediately wakes Daniel up. But when Daniel opens his eyes, it turns out that Mia herself is the one sucking on his foot while being possessed by a spirit. Because of this incident, Daniel leaves and Mia becomes even more anxious now that she is completely alone. Overwhelmed with guilt, she slaps herself. Desperate, Mia performs the possession ritual on her own, hoping that her mother will come to comfort her. Mia asks whether Ria killed herself, and Ria answers no. Ria also reminds Mia that she must help Riley, who is still possessed by a spirit. The presence of her mother makes Mia feel deeply calm, as if she's being embraced. >> Mia, did you kill yourself? >> No. >> Riley needs help.

10:58 I'm here. >> Elsewhere, while Riley is being bathed, he suddenly becomes aggressive, biting Jade's hand. Not only that, he repeatedly smashes his head against the bathroom wall and licks the blood as it flows down his face. Fortunately, Sue and the nurses quickly arrive and manage to stop him. Afterward, Mia and her friends gather to discuss what they should do next. By this point, the police already know what truly happened to Riley from a video provided by his friend James, but they cannot take action because Riley technically harmed himself. Mia then tells them that she saw two spirits. The first being her mother at the hospital, and the second a female spirit sucking Daniel's foot while he was staying at her house. When Jade hears that Daniel stayed overnight at Mia's place, she immediately becomes

11:44 furious with him. Haley and Joss then explain where they obtained the severed hand. It turns out they knew Ducket and had attended several parties with him, also playing the possession ritual together. Joss eventually borrowed the hand just for fun. And Ducket willingly gave the cursed object away because by then he could already see spirits without using the severed hand, just like Mia. Not long after, Duckett was suspected of developing schizophrenia, which caused him to stab his brother Cole and ultimately take his own life by stabbing himself in the eye, as shown at the beginning of the film. Mia then comes up with the idea of meeting Cole so they can figure out how to stop everything. >> Show the police the video. >> I think it was James. >> Have any of you guys still been seeing stuff? >> Look, none of us have been seeing [ __ ] All right. >> Saw my mom at the hospital. Wait, who's

12:30 stuck here? Yeah, >> I met him twice at some parties. >> Can we talk to him? Long story short, they meet Cole and tell him about Riley being severely injured because a spirit is still inside his body. Cole can only say that Riley must force the spirit out on his own, though he has no idea how. As they get off the bus, Jade becomes even angrier, blaming Mia for letting Riley stay possessed for nearly 2 minutes just so she could talk to her mother's spirit, especially after discovering that Mia also slept in the same house as Daniel. Mia promises to make up for her mistakes and suddenly remembers that during Riley's incident, they never blew out the candle as they were supposed to. Because of that, she believes the only solution is to make Riley perform the ritual again. But this time, the candle must be blown out to close the portal to the spirit world. Mia, Jade, and Daniel

13:15 return to the hospital, knowing they must act quickly because Sue will arrive in 1 hour. The candle is lit. The severed hand is placed into Riley's hand, and Mia says, "Talk to him." before immediately blowing out the candle. When nothing happens after several attempts, Mia decides to possess herself instead, hoping she can communicate with Riley's spirit, which may have been separated from his body. Even though Jade tries to stop her, Mia refuses to back down. She grabs the severed hand and says, "Riley, talk to me." Suddenly, the spirit of a kind little girl appears, and Mia asks if she can tell her where Riley is now. The girl offers to guide Mia into the realm of the dead so she can see what is really happening to Riley. Mia realizes that Riley's soul is being held captive by other spirits in the afterlife and that they must do something to free him. >> Riley, talk to me.

14:02 >> Do you know where he is? >> For the time being, Mia returns home to calm herself. There, her father, Max, finally reveals the truth about Ria's death, explaining that before she died, Ria had written letters for both Max and Mia. However, Max had never dared to show them to Mia because he did not want to burden her emotionally. After 2 years, Max finally reads the letter aloud, which reveals Ria apologizing for always being sick and for burdening both her husband and daughter. Ria says she only hopes that Max and Mia can live peacefully once she is no longer suffering. The letter is essentially Ria's farewell, explaining that she chose to end her life for the sake of her family so she would not continue to trouble them. However, Mia, who has

14:47 already encountered her mother's spirit, completely refuses to believe this because Ria herself told her that her death was not suicide, but an accident. Max immediately hugs Mia to calm her down. But at the same time, Mia sees her mother's spirit, telling her that her father has been lying. Your mother, before she passed, she left her something. I am no longer in pain. I hope you don't hate me for this. I'm sorry, me. I'm sorry I kept it from you. >> It's not true. Hearing this, Mia quickly retreats back to her bedroom. Inside her room, Mia sees the figure of her mother waiting for her, repeatedly insisting that her father has been lying and that Ria never wrote any letter. At the same time, the figure outside the bedroom appears as a creature resembling her father, Max. Mia is also manipulated

15:34 into believing that she must kill Riley so his suffering can finally end. Without Mia realizing it, the spirit standing before her is not her real mother at all, but an evil entity imitating Ria, one that has been targeting Riley from the very beginning. Mia becomes an easy target for manipulation because she is completely consumed by grief over her mother's death. Not long after, Mia begins hallucinating again, seeing her father as a demonic figure trying to kill her. Believing the illusion, Mia attempts to stab her hallucinated father with a pair of scissors. However, without her realizing it, the real Max rushes in to save her at the exact moment she strikes. He's lying.

16:31 Night turns into morning and Mia calls Jade telling her that she has finally figured out how to save Riley from his suffering. She asks Jade to come to her house so she can explain everything and Jade without any suspicion immediately heads there. In reality, this is only a deception as Mia has already been completely influenced by the fake spirit of her mother. While Jade is on her way, Mia, who is at the hospital parking lot, goes straight into Riley's room. Fortunately, Sue is still there. Sue apologizes for blaming Mia earlier, believing that Riley may have been suffering from a mental disorder. She tells Mia that her presence means a great deal to Riley because she is already considered part of the family. Mia asks to be left alone with Riley so she can focus on praying for him. And Sue eventually leaves the room. Suddenly, Mia begins hallucinating

17:18 again. She sees Riley transform into an old female spirit and witnesses this entity imprisoning Riley's soul in the realm of the dead. Mia raises the scissors to stab it, but for a brief moment, she realizes that what she is seeing is only a hallucination. At the same time, Jade arrives at Mia's house and is shocked to find Max covered in blood, but still alive. Jade immediately calls her mother, Sue, and when she learns that Mia is at the hospital with Riley, she warns Sue that Mia could put Riley's life in danger. When Sue rushes to check the hospital room, both Mia and Riley are already gone because Mia has once again fallen under the influence of the fake spirit of her mother, which urges her to throw Riley into oncoming traffic. Realizing the danger threatening her brother, Jade rushes toward the hospital, but before that,

18:03 she calls an ambulance to help the critically injured Max. Jade then returns to the hospital and is fortunate enough to spot Mia carrying Riley toward the road. Meanwhile, Mia continues to be convinced by the false spirit that what she is doing is right. Fortunately, Jade manages to save Riley by pushing Mia into the street where Mia is struck by a passing car. Proud of you. We'll have him forever. Try him. The scene then shifts to Mia, badly injured and now in the hospital. There

18:49 she sees her father walking toward an elevator and she also sees Riley fully recovered, leaving with Sue and Jade. Confused by what is happening, Mia realizes she has no reflection in the mirror and that her fingers are still broken from the accident. She tries to chase after her father, but darkness suddenly surrounds her. Lost and terrified, Mia notices a small light in the distance. Slowly, she approaches it and sees a candle beside an outstretched hand. The moment Mia grasps it, she is suddenly transported to a party where a group of people in another country are performing the same possession ritual. That moment signifies that Mia is no longer part of the human world. She has died after being hit by a car. The earlier scene when Mia walks through the hospital and sees Riley fully recovered and leaving with Jade and Sue is not a coincidence. It represents that Riley

19:36 has successfully survived the terror of the spirits. Meanwhile, the image of Max entering the elevator shows that Mia's father is still alive and able to move on with his life. Mia can only watch from a distance because she herself has already become a spirit. That is why she has no reflection in the mirror and eventually becomes trapped in darkness. Mia's fate closely mirrors what happened to Ducket at the beginning of the story. Devastated by the loss of his father, Ducket began abusing the possession ritual without limits. In his fragile mental state, he became an easy target for an evil entity that disguised itself as the spirit of someone he loved. As a result, Ducket lost control, stabbed his brother Cole, and then ended his own life. The same thing happens to Mia. Her grief over her mother's death makes her

20:21 easy to manipulate. The spirit she believes to be Ria is actually nothing more than a malicious entity exploiting Mia's longing. Little by little, Mia is influenced until she hurts her own father and is ultimately pushed into the street where she is struck by a car. Because Mia dies while still being possessed by this false spirit, her soul is never truly free. She becomes lost between the human world and the spirit world. In the final moments of the film, Mia finds a light in the form of a candle and an outstretched hand. When she grasps it, her position instantly changes. Mia is no longer a human summoning spirits, but a spirit being summoned by a new group of people in a distant place. The cycle begins again. Anyone who plays the ritual for too long or too often, especially those who are

21:06 emotionally broken, can easily be overtaken by evil entities. After death, they become new spirits who will one day be summoned again by others in a different time and a different country. This is why at the final party, the language spoken is no longer English. It indicates that a long time has passed and that the cursed hand has traveled from one place to another and with that the story comes to an
