The movie is set in 1967. The cinematography and the introduction is really nice btw. In my opinion, the introduction scene and music background has already caught my attention. Like I know it's gonna be a good movie(although some parts are a bit cliche).

That spirit-calling part is a must in almost every horror movie ever and I don't mind seeing it over and over again. As you can see, the mother(centre) is a fortune teller and do the talk-to-spirit-thingy. But she was actually lying (read: scam). She was helped by her two daughters in order to make their customers to believe them. The father has died so there's just the mother and her two daughters trying to make a living out of a scam.

The first daughter, Lena. They almost got caught lying by their customers. Lucky they didn't. The first daughter is an outspoken, brave and honest person.

That is the second daughter. She's more quiet and calm around other people. She doesn't have friends and she often got bullied by two boys. They are nice and kind people actually but too bad the mother was desperate to get money to pay the bills, food, schools etc so that's why she came up with the idea of scamming people.

Guess what, the first daughter sneak out that night to go to her friend's party house which only have like 4 people(?). Then she saw an oujia board at her friend's house so her friend was like, do you guys wanna play it? 

And then that happen. But nothing really happen eventually. Then her friend's mother found them in the room and call all other parents about their child sneaking out at night. When she saw the oujia board she kinda has something in her mind like should I tell my mom to buy this to make their 'business' more realistic? I didn't write every detail here although it may seem like it but no, so you should still watch it.

Eventually the mother got the oujia board as suggested by Lena.

One whole family

So in order to get her 'business' works very well, she needs to do some 'improvement' from the existing oujia board.

Apparently when the mother was improving and do some try-outs, the second daughter, Dorris, answered all her questions in another room; because the spirit already took over her body at times(I think).

Eventually Dorris played the Oujia board too...and now I think everyone who watched can get the idea of how this possess thingy happen. Then somehow Dorris did her homework very well more than the usual like drastically knows all the answer that even her teacher had to call the mother for confirmation.

Dorris totally believe that the spirit she talked to was her dad so she believe everything the spirit tells her. The spirit even told her that there's money hidden at the basement of the house. The mother and Lena was shocked (obviously).

And then yes, the mother  use Dorris's ability to run her business and it's going well. Apparently everyone believes them and some even want to come again. 

One night the spirit got into her body and totally take control of being Dorris. It was quite scary scene and I was watching it alone that I had to grab my pillow and make the screen smaller. The only one who eventually realize that Dorris is not like the normal Dorris is her sister Lena. So she tells her school principal who is also a Father about what Dorris did and stuff.

Then maybe the Father did some research about the house etc. I must say that the Father is quite the smart one compared to other Father in other horror movie. Just slightly smarter. Well he's a school principal. So he came to the house and talked to Dorris and pretending that he wants to talked to her dead wife. He also pretends that he wants to discuss about Lena's problem privately upstairs. I think this is kinda smart move but if only they discuss it somewhere outside the house.

Lena and the Father really understand each other's tricks I think. 

So they discussed in the room without Dorris. The Father then explained and analysed what he knows about Dorris and about the house. It was interesting moment for me. Like, so this is what it's all about. 

The mother really believe that nothing is wrong with Dorris until the Father explained everything so eventually the mother believe him. Then they tried to get Dorris-true-self back by burning the oujia board. Unfortunately that wasn't the way out. 

They tried every possible way to get the spirit out from Dorris's body. There were some scary scene at this last part. But maybe not as scary as The Conjuring but it is still scary in it's on way. The actress who played Dorris did a good job. 

Eventually Lena got into mental hospital. She was so nice to her family and totally love her sister Dorris but yeah things happened and she got into mental hospital. You have to watch the very last scene which is after all the credits being displayed too because that part was interesting..okay not really very interesting but just watch it okay.

Anyway there are still a lot of stories from the movie which I didn't write down so you gotta watch it to figure it out. These are just some snippets of the movie. Overall I like it. Thumbs up to all the crews.

I think this movie is a bit underrated? or it's just me who didn't know this movie was quite famous actually? It may not be as scary as The Conjuring but still interesting and fun to watch. I kinda hope that there will be part 2..because the last scene make me curious and wants to know more. It's worth the time to watch.
