time to watch a horror movie that came out this year that i know nothing about
what is more christmassy than that? (it was late december at this point)
talk t o me lets goooooooooo
oh shit its the national lottery again who brought us the masterpieces All Your Friends Hate You (or whatever it was called) and Severance
yknow the shitty movie not the tv show
so. that bodes well
im pretty sure they probably just finance movies out of the uk or something but. yknow
also: australia! and five million companies beforee the movie starts, my faaaaavourite
were in the australias at a houseparty i wonder if house parties like this are a thing. i feel like u only ever see them in movies
maybe in college houses or something idk
not really a thing back home, for me
same, boy 2 what kinda name is duckett
me at the christmas party two weeks ago when i was looking for my friend, couldn't find him, and caused a minor panic when people thought he crashed his car into the front gate of the building (he didnt)
(he just went up to his room for some peace)
(fence crash man turned out to be unrelated to the party)
...? is that your mum?
jayden and duckett. this family sure knows how to name their kids
mum didnt seem concerned so i wondeer whats up
I thought it was jaydens door??
naniiiii
damn cole is STRONGK
im gonna assume he means ghosts based on nothing ghosts wanna party too
the hell happened to his back
thanks boy 3 thats very helpful
kids be filming. cole's upset nice shirt btw
oh no duckett stabbed him. guess boy 3 was right
thanks boy 5 the loud SHHHHING sound when he pulled it out got me confused. also wheres boy 4
we just skipped straight to boy 5
huh didnt know high rise jeans were a thing for dudes too. oop rip duckett he just stabbed himself in the head
quite the intro god damn
where'd mum go..
its the title of the movie! and a new scene
hey its the girl with the eyes from the trailer. if youve ever seen any masrketing for this movie you'll recognise her
and by that i mean, i do lol
its a funeral but its not for the party bois its for a woman presumably white sock girl's mother
her dads tryna talk to her but he keeps speaking when she runs the tap so she cant hear him gj dad
ah her name is mia
introducing: mias brother! who.. isnt at the wake? or funeral? or whatever that event was..
(his friend says this) as opposed to your skinny mum...?
wow her brother is lil didnt expect a literal child
..is snapchat still a thing? i legit never used it
fuckin hell this kids a dead ringer for a guy i know. but like, twelve also really man
mia's brother is all like wow dude you sure are hardcore with your cigarettes fat mum and not knowing what elvish means oh his name's riley
the lil bro
aw they like each other. thats cute sibliiiiiiings
they stop singing and nnow they look real upset so i guess theres somethng on the road or the horror suddenly set in for both of them
for. unknown reasons
ah shit. she didnt hit it it was already there
someone hit a kangaroo
shes. trying to put it out of its misery by. running it over.
riley are u for real idk what the rules are for hitting a kangaroo but i know with deer u gotta call a park ranger
just chalk this up to them being kids i guess
nyways they leave cos mia didnt have the heart to kill it
ok well im confused now i thought mia was riley's sister, but i think its actually this girl? and mia is their friend, or something? she tries to impress this girl by telling her about the kangaroo but shes not impressed
..is. is it 2003, or something
they have a group chat for whatever it is theyre doing in this video
yknow like, ghost or demon stuff teen things
oh if riley isnt her brother that does explain why he wasnt at the funeral thingy
cos it was mia's mum
mias like jade (the otheer girl) can we please do the ghost demon trhing cos my mum died two years ago n jades like ok fine
hi im riley and jades parent here to explain my connection to mia oh mia gets away from her dad cos he depressed her
guess thats why shes just hanging out here
sneaking out together to go do ghost or demon stuff 🎵
no thank you we dont need that can someone turn of the shitty music please thank you
teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeens its a teen party! so bad rap music is a MUST
bleh
immediately feels out of place oh mia :(
no but thanks for asking
gee i wonder if mia isnt a fan of jade's boyfriend.
this persons mad jade brought mia and i know its their house but like, fuck you
ugh finally its ghost demon time. demon ghost.
dead people. fallen angels.
idk.
SPOOOOOOOKY STUFF
mia volunteers for possession
better shot of hayley whos house this is and who hates mia for "being clingy" or something they do possessions as a party trick
interesting premise
theyre like ok u can only do this for 90 seconds or youll be possessed forever (or something)
the hand! I forgot about the hand. its like the conduit for the whole ritual
they said the thiiiiiing!!! also everyone is filming of course
she instantly sees a ghost and freaks out and everyone just laughs cos theyre dicks
oh that just happens, huh.
this guy seems at least a little shaken
shes goaded ihnto trying again
i wonder what all the stuff means thats written on it. i see some names also mia now sees another spirit who looks fuckin VILE
like, waterlogged or something idk
cool cat???? (shes possessed now)
..not by coolcat. by waterlogged ghost.
Majo: I like how the hand asks us to be quiet at least twice
ghosts want their peace!
everyones like woooo this is so weird and cool!! except jade and riley
also why is this girl wearing the same jacket as mia but in orange did they have a two for one sale and the costume department was like hell yeah not passing that up
times almost up and ghost!mia is threatening the kids about a "he" and now theyre struggling to get her to let go of the hand
gee i wonder if that was in the trailer.
god i wish i'd stayed home or with my lame smoking friend with the fat mum who doesnt know what elvish means
they finally get it out of her hand and man this is gonna be one bitchin tiktok video Lou: hey, in this economy, gotta take what you can get
she seems ok so theyre all like yaaaay!! it does look like a real comfy jacket too
everyones back home and riley be scared Majo: this movie is terribly unrealistic, 0 teens have tried to use the hand for making a tiktok dance vidya
theres still about an hour left, theres time!
we see riley ask jade if shes awake and this is the next shot. the way its filmed it looks like he was looking right at her and then still asked "hey sis u up" but i presume hes like, behind a screen or something
oh wow mia's sleeping over at theirs ..why isnt she in jade's room
rileys like hey that possession thing really shook me up can i hang with you, person who got possessed
its raining super heavy and the sound in the film is quite low now so ive had hilary duff's coming clean stuck in my head like, the whole scene
ah shit here we go
some people would call that a blessing. oh my god im a vampire yayyy
...oh. :(
riley asks what the hand feeels like cos he doesnt know what to do with mia's nightmare and she says it felt amazing
so thats interesting
fuckin king of segues this kid mia explains her mum accidentally took too many sleeping pills got stuck in the bedroom and scratched at the door. and that her dad couldnt get in the next day cos she was on the other side
so thats fun!
jade now actually wants to do ghost stuff at her house. idk why. thats mia skulking behind her
im a cool person im rude! i smoke and cup my genitals in front of you!!!
and sit on cars!
and park in the disasbled spot!
..i dont know if theyre in the disabled spot. just. that sign is huge so i assume its there.
yay more ghosts!! also school uniforms!
also yellow scrunchy! her hair is so short is the scrunchy just cos mia always has to wear something yellow?
idk if thats the case. but thatd be a neat detail if so
oooh i might be right! shes got a different outfit but theres still yellow
this is jade and riley's mum. she suspects they might be having a party.
also idk-what-elves-are is there! oh his name is james
have another beautiful line from this mom. daniel (jade's bf) is super christian by the way. probably cos this is a possession movie
i mean, i assume. idk what religions like in australia
gee i wonder Majo: oh yeah i guess it is a good idea to ask where that hand even came from
inb4 its a monkeys paw!! and the fingers aree all curled!!!!
dun duuun
psychic, medium, satanist tomato tomato
nyways christian boy's up next
it is kinda cool to see it like this cos we dont get to see into daniel's mind, unlike when mia did it
also whenever someone gets possessed they put the camera sideways real fast
whoa his mouth whered u get the horrorclown makeup daniel
Majo: danny needs some chapstick damn
dont worry he's licking his lips to fix that!
and. some other hitngs.
the ghost that possessed him insults jade
prompting hayley to call the ghost a cunt lol
he then does something really gross i wont repeat and everyone laughs after jade rips the hand out of his hand. daniel is understandably upset all of it was caught on film
i wont say what happens cos it was fuckin gross but take this line mias like i wanna be possessed again yay! and jade is like dude wtf why
daniel ran out btw
this calls for some edith piaf!
thot dog sad, was not her fault Majo: :((((
theyre all vibing, getting possessed and shit even daniel came back
girl what did edith piaf actually come through or something Majo: AHHH french jumpscare!!
the scariest kind!
sad. wants to see ghost things too. :(
james wants to get possessed but jade's like uhh no you're a child you cant cos possession has an age limit.
if. if jade's got something to say about it, at least
Majo: this is gonna sound stupid but is it because it supposedly feels good? is this like a drug analogy thing going on
oh actually yeah maybe
shes also the only one of the older teens who hasnt done it herself, now i think about it
Majo: hahaha laaaame
Majo: come pester ghosts with the cool kids!! #yolo
Majo: what a looooooser
oh i think she just explained she didnt want him to cos it freaked riley out seeing the possessions the night before. she didnt say anything to spare his feelings but then riley said something mean to her so she shot back
thanks hayley thats real helpful.
girl no
you were the one who proposed 60 seconds!!! jeez mia flipflop much
its def a bad idea. but still
welp here we go is the giant tee over the giant shirt a transmasc thing or is that style back in fashion (not dunking on transmasc people's fashion sense. just curious about the duo giant shirt combo.)
cos i feel like that was an early 2000s thing
Majo: ugly early 2000s layering has been coming back to the youths so maybe that's it?
why are all the ugly things coming back weh
oh i didnt mention i think but they tie people to the chair when they do the possession thing
Majo: the style has potential but as a trans masc person, Im not claiming this representation lol
haha yeah maybe if hayley was wearing more interesting shirts it could work
Majo: YEAH
i wonder who he sees. huh they didnt do the camera flip when riley got possessed. i wonder why
he says sorry, then says this he also speaks in two voices
ah shit
oh shit its her mum or.. its pretending to be
well thats not good.
riley starts smacking his head into the table i think there might be some interference on the line
is anyone gonna rip the hand out of his hand or???
jade saves him just in time but hes in a baaaad state
sorry lads i gotta go off into my own world for a sec
ah so the event at the start of the film happened in the past of this one. also this implies hayley and joss know about the dangers of the hand. wow guys
"i mean yes it mightve caused a murder suicide once but surely it wont happen again!"
oh no its the police.
mum you wont have to punch riley in the face for having a party, he did it himself so yeah police are taking stateements
introducing: mia's dad!
um, over there. on. on the right. in the dark.
also: more yellow! i cant stop noticing it now even though i have no idea what the significance would be at this point. but im clingin to it
oh shit! she has the hand! I wonder if hayley and joss dumped it on her
jades at the hospital with her mum and daniel and is understandably pretty upset when mia shows up but without jade mia has no connections :( oh dear
in the scene with her dad its made clear she thinks her dad is hiding something about what happened with her mum, which explains their strained relationship some more
jades mum also thinks its mias fault... noooo she thinks he did drugs btw.
not. ghost hand possession shit
Majo: only METAPHYSICAL METAPHORICAL DRUGS
the drug of SPIRITS
meanwhile: mia's starting to see people that arent there at least u still have a reflection hey
thats something
Majo: Mia: 1 Majo: Derealization/ Depersonalization: 0!!!
also mias also rocking the shirt over shirt look how did i not notice OTL
just. one of hers is skin tight
not massive like both of hayleys
also here: distressed ghost. mia keeps hearing scratching at doors in different places
daniel finds her and takes her home. didnt expect him to help her out but that's nicei mean, not cos daniel isn't a nice person or anything, more that hes not particularly strongly connected to mia is all
since hes jades boyfriend
she did say they kissed when they were kids so i guess they do have a history. a little
(mias reason for asking daniel to stay over)
mia thinks the initial ghost was her mum, that something took over riley after but daniel isnt so sure he thinks they might read their minds and i think he might be right there
as the ghost that possessed him started insulting jade. like why would it know that
but mias like hey lets get possessed again i wanna talk to mum
i guess mia's like ehh im already haunted might as well try again
mias like ur hand game's weak dan
meanwhile jade's just having the best time!!
please dont yell at your daughter please please ah nvm they just sat together sadly
tho she did pull her hand away from jade :(
watches possession tiktoks sadly
ah nvm its just some videos of her playing around with jade and riley
and then one of her mum cos were not sad enough yet Majo: (mmm hand parallels? in My ghost/demon/medium/satanist/etc. hand possession movie?)
working title for this movie: Spirit Fingers
yellowwwwwww
look i get that you wanted to sleep as platonically as possible or something but ew his foot is right next to your head
oh no shes dreaming
haaaaaaaaaaaands half of dream: touching danny's hands
other half of dream:
ugh mom youre really killing the vibe
alone also: a mirror
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
awake! at least we dont know if you had a reflection or not.
nani
who??
ohshit its waterlog lady! she looks very upset.
daniel, meanwhile shes eating his foot. the ghost i mean.
's not very jesus friendly, all the stuff that happens to him.
christ okay
he wakes up and omg its actually mia. not the ghost shes also not literally eating his foot
euihgghugjhgj gross gross
uhhh daniel i believe the expression youre looking for is "putting your foot in your mouth", silly guy
nooo now shes alone :( stupid foot ghost
theres no one there to break you out of it! dont do it alone her nail polish goes from cracked to pristine, im not sure yet if its always intended or accidentally shows when they filmed what scenes
mom?
hm. she doesnt look too good mia asks if her mum intended to kill herself and she says no
yknow sweets i dont think this is your mum.
? they play the sounds of water flowing for one of the spirits, the first one that possessed mia (the waterlogged lady i presume), while for mia's mum they've played scratching noises
i like the sound design
nyways theres water flowing noises right now. so. thats not a good sign
time to take a nap with a ghost riley is home but appears to be catatonic
or at least he doesnt move much or speak, though he is awake
nyom!!! except to bite his sisters hand
i also just noticed jade has painted blue/purple nails to contrast mia's orange ones
not pictured: riley introducing the back of his head to the bathroom wall also if this possession thing works the same way it does in some other possession movies jade is screwed
oh hes not home this is at the hospital
oh mia did take the hand they didnt plant it on her
oh shes actively scratching it now! i guess it was on purpose then.
also: yellowwwwwwwwwwwww
unsurprisingly mia finds out shes the only one whos been seeing ghosts outside of when she was holding the hand
GEE THANKS HAYLEY forgot all about that until now did you
ohhh duckett owned the hand before joss.
oh.
oh shit cole's still alive! the guy frojm the start
wait what was his name..
ah it is cole!
okay cool
the whole scooby doo gangs here
cole does not like joss and hayley i wonder if the ghosts are more dangerous to lonely people or something
cole tries to outtie 5000 by getting on the bus but mia follows him in
orange and yellow. harmony has been restored
jfc theyre all here how didnt i notice them
cole is like okay fine the next stop isnt until thirty minutes from now so i guess i'll tell you how to get rid of the ghosts
but first: fuck you joss
woo best friend confrontation time cole said the ghosts get weaker the longer they are in somebodys body but jade says whatevers in her brother is trying to kill him
trhey didnt really get any other info out of cole before jade stormed out of the bus so idk what their plan is now
wow jade. cold
mia suggests they mightve not blown out the candle when riley got possessed and that might be why the ghosts are still out there also othering mia after hearing what cole said about how lonely duckett was sounds like a real good idea lads
maybe resolve the whole possession thing before you start having non!paranormal fights
Majo: (mia wearing yellow and jade wearing jade green. nature is slowly healing)
omg just a few more and we'll have a full rainbow. fingers crossed for either red or blue next
jesus okay how are you gonna do this u gonna tape the hand to his hand? in the hospital??
wait blue is right here! omg
hayley, saying their first sensible line this entire movie at the 1 hour and 9 minute mark
joss and hayley leave the movie cos theyre not emotionally connected enough to stay for the finale "hi were just here to bring the chaos. we're not resolving shit. bye"
Majo: n they're the ones wearing grey and brown... outside of the focus colors hmmm 🤔🧐
omg the colour theory in this movie is off the charts
also the original spirit candle is yellow ...oh.
Majo: OHHHHHH
Majo: man I had a whole other theory I'm glad we got a shot of the candle again
shoving the hand into rileys hand and demanding the spirits speak to him isnt working so mia suggests she talks to him despite him not being dead, this being her reasoning oooh im curious to hear your theory
Majo: it doesn't work very smoothly since I'm not actually watching the movie lol but I thought 1) it was to show Mia clinging to happiness after her mom died and 2) to show the dynamic between her n Jade and maybe Dan? especially since green typically represents envy and jealousy, and yellow in roses means jealousy or friendship. like Jade has/will reject Mia, but Mia is still clinging to hope something something. eventually I'll have to watch to get a better idea lol
ohh that makes a lot of sense actually! I wouldnt be surprised if youre right
i might see if i can find something about this once the film is done
welp lads fingers crossed#
hi yes my name is also riley. sup
ah thanks other!riley thats really helpful actually also shes wearing pink. didnt have that one in mind. oh well
ooh she said "i let you in" n now the connection is reversed!! i think! as in the ghost said it
og!riley is having a bad time in the spirit realm.
! mia did not like that. 
its dad! we're back at mia's house.
he didnt come to the hospital or something
hes like i gotta tell u something
k fine whats up
oh?
oh its a letter? Majo: ohohoo?
the note says she loves max (mias dad) and mia and that she feels hopeful for the first time in a long time, and that she hopes the two of them will find happiness beyond their years. then the sentence i capped above
but mia doesnt want to believe it mia parental relationship get!
also:
who the fuck is that ghost pretending to be her mom
oh still trying this huh could at least try to look less spooky
mia no!! (shes talking to the ghost in her room)
what
ok im super confused now so mia was talking to her ghost mom who tells her that her dad is actually a ghost pretending to be him, then she tells her she needs to kill riley to put him out of his misery, then they show her dad is still sitting on the sofa, and hes just found the hand, and at the same time her dad bursts into her room?
so a ghost might be imitaing her dad cos hes in two places at once now..?
oh yeah das probably not him. meanwhile, real dad:
the ghost is choking her but her dad cant see the ghost
oh no. mia parental relationship lose.
lotta yellow though. yellow scissors. yellow whatever that knit thing is there.
yeah i think its a throw or something
green jade
mia calls her and says i think i know how to save him and jade says this and yeah. dont let mia near riley.
if anything i advise u to tie mia up until the ghosts leave her. yknow, follow cole's advice. the whole they get weaker the longer it goes on thing
Majo: just burrito her in the yellow throw 👍 problem solved!!
what they should do with mia until shes safe
she tells jade to come to her house, but then we see shes in the hospital car park to get riley alone i guess?
!! shes not wearing yellow! first scene no yellow (the scissors but thats not clothing)
hi i thought id choose this moment to apologise for blaming you for the status of my son. hey whats that in your pocket are those yellow scissors with the markings of patricide?
well its nice to see some vulnerability from sue but god where is this going
especially now you have no parents left. im your mum now
Rileys been biting his own arm..?
3
are you? (she asked for some time alone with riley which sue gave her)
jade, at mia's place meanwhile
ugh FINE i'll go find your dads corpse by myself
riley turns into a toothless old burned person and mias grossed out im lost.
i thought she was gonna kill him. idk whats going on anymore
well you werent hiding very well
mia no sue is right outside and theres a giant window
good plan mia
oh oh!! !the kangaroo!!
she cant do it! she cant kill things even if its a mercy kill
pls mia remember the kangaroo
ok well i didnt expect the kangaroo to show up
Majo: Shock!
ghost kangaroo!
g
jade has found mia's dad and hes alive! but not doing great
i hope he makes it
oh dear dear
waht the fuck
wow shes fast
where are you taking him
oh you cant mercy kill a kangaroo but you can roll a boy into traffic??
or. whatever/whoever this is
mom?
no definitely not mom
for some reason we see the traffic shove f rom inside a vehiclewait i know the reason. cos its not clear if it actually hapened or not
this car definitely crashed tho
oh no
whoa that ghost thing sure was spooky. those 90 seconds sure felt like a long time! wait where is everybody
oooh i think jade mightve been just in time?
hey sorry i tried to push riley into traffic and stuff
lhopital wait.
oh god
hes okay! but mia god i hope im wrong
noooooooo Majo: holy fuck NOOOOOOOO
shes chasing her dad who is not reacting. also the lights are going off
;_;
?
a yellow light..
she gasps and it ends. holy shit that was brutal
Majo: oh my god is she with hand now??
yeah shes dead
not sure how she ended up on the road on her own though
Majo: did Jade do it???
Majo: maybe the real yellow symbolism were the bright yellow DONT DO POSSESSION DRUGS warning signs we ignored along the way
im reading some more about the movie and yeah it seems the drugs thing was on purpose
and it is possible jade pushed mia yeah
i think the movie mightve been vague about that on purpose
she seems confused shes dead which would imply she didnt walk into traffic herself
but we dont know if duckett wanted to kil himself and he did
very unnaturally so that probably was against his will as well..
idk
Majo: absolutely wild...
Majo: kinda parallels her mom in a way ig
maaan i cant find anything about the use of the colour yellow :( its so prominent i thought the creators wouldve talked about it somewhere at least
id chalk it up to coincidence at this point if it was just her clothes but cmon the scissors, and the candle especially!
Majo: it's definitely intentional but I'm very curious what they meant it for!!
Majo: for now I'll subscribe to ignoring caution and trying to stay hopeful
