Occasionally effective horror story about a haunted phone
app that tells victims exactly when they'll die. A plucky nurse (Elizabeth
Lail) becomes the chief opponent of the demon (Dirk Rogers) behind it all,
defending her younger sister (Talitha Bateman) with the help of a quirky priest
(P.J. Byrne) whose methods are occult rather than Catholic. Though
writer-director Justin Dec's film is quite clearly aimed with precision at
teens, the amount of vulgar talk included in the dialogue precludes its endorsement
for them.
Watch out for: An occult
theme, some gore, brief physical violence, a few profanities, frequent crude
language.
Rated: A-III, adults; MPAA:
