7/10
I let you in.

Mia breaking black people stereotypes in horror movies by basically running towards the danger. This was a really fun horror movie; not a comedy, just fun to watch with friends. It's still horror, but without a lot of jump scares or attempts to catch you by surprise. Some parts were predictable, like things you've seen before, but it still felt newt. It makes use of the R rating, though inconsistently, so it's not always gory.

It felt real, except for the weirdness of how much screaming there was without other people hearing it, even in places like hospitals. It also felt realistic in how kids would probably react if they found an artifact like this and learned how to use it safely, they'd have fun with it. The characters had good emotional connection, especially between Jade, Riley, and Mia; they felt like an actual family. I liked how the mom knew the kids so well.

It's a pretty good story, not just for a horror movie. It's a genuinely good movie overall. As I said, there aren't too many jump scares, but it builds its atmosphere perfectly, giving you goosebumps at times. Watching this after Tarot made me appreciate it even more. The ending was pure chef's kiss.
