Demonic possession tropes are revamped in this innovative horror by Australian director duo Danny and Michael Phillipou, where the usual apparatuses of Ouija Boards or Pentagrams used to conjure spirits are replaced by a embalmed hand rumoured to belong to a psychic who once communicated with the dead. The result is an exhilarating fast-paced ride, albeit through familiar teen horror territory.
