    Thanks to all of the very nice comments, we realized we missed a post-credits scene where Sky is on the same talk show Emma was on two years prior, talking about her experience. It would appear from the way she looks at the camera in the final shot that Sky may be possessed with whatever had possessed Emma (or even Emma herself). However, this doesn't salvage the poor writing and direction, so we will maintain the scores we gave this film. Peace and blessings 🌵

      The ending still confuses me though, which was it, if at all? Also I thought it would be cool if they put it in skys perspective with the ghosts *showing* her hints that things weren't as they seem and then she does her research and probably sees some messed up story behind her before having children and she confronts her when she connects the dots, that's how you make a thriller in my eyes, not to mention the ending was so predictable comparing the movie to like ma, oh and it would be cool with the whole house escape being put more into action more than "oh she's gonna kill them just there and then" good video!

      Needless to say, I would have exited the screen within the first 10 minutes of the movies showing simply because the initial scenes
      failed in their ability to keep me engaged.
      However, my feature attraction to this flick was MoNique, so I definitely continued watching.
      Specifically, with MoNique being off the big screen for such a long stretch, I wanted to see if she still had it; that acting GOLD.. And boy oh Boy did she deliver; she is HOLLYWOOD Royalty!! Phenomenal job Mo🤩🤩🤩

Then Ole girl legit watched Emma stab her home girl to death 🤦‍♀️ that part was one of the worst parts for me but it does seem as if Monique's character had atleast 2 personalities & perhaps the house came with an evil spirit that actually possessed Emma causing her to become a serial killer

    @kiwthebeauty ปีที่แล้ว +110

    Yo I got the ending for those still confused! First if you all didn’t fast forward or wait around there was a mid-credit where Sky is on the same talk show Emma was on prior.
    Here is what happened. Emma died but immediately TOUCHED Sky and possessed her. This is what happens when a spirit touches Sky, they get into her body. This time because Emma spirit was fresh and new she was able to overtake it completely, plus Sky was weak and in and out of consciousness when the possession was taking place so Sky couldn’t spiritually fight her.
    Here is another big part of the plot I don’t think you all understand. Emma kept referring to herself as old and the college kids as “young bishes”. She said her husband took her youth. She didn’t want kids. She is overtaking Sky’s body as a way reclaim her life again in a new young body. She can still be rich (I’m sure Sky will be rich because she got access to Emma’s account somehow and Sky public appearances will get her fame), she can choose not to have kids and be in a youthful body but with her wisdom.
    If you hated the plot twist it’s probably because you didn’t get the reason why Emma wanted to overtake Sky’s body. It’s clear now that I saw the credit. Also a good giveaway that Emma is in that body, how would Sky get the code? The said the alternative plan was to wait for the mailman to come, but she told the talk show host she figured it out after time. No Emma is in her.

  • @MaryMary-iw7wh
    @MaryMary-iw7wh ปีที่แล้ว +28

    I believe that Sky was possessed at the table and we are seeing what she wants us to see. Emma never really got up from the table...that doesn't happen in a reading...how it stops and starts again...Nope, it was still going. Emma didnt admit to killing her family until AFTER Sky had the veins, water possession episode.Sky was already feeling like these spirits were getting close.She was possessed and used Emma as a scape goat.Sky killed everyone in the house.And Sky's mother was a behavior health professional..which leads into Sky having a behavior health issue/dealing with someone with mental/behavioral health issues. The homeless man is another nod to mental health. I got holes in the original storyline...so the police did not check the strangulation marks against her hands? None of her husbands blood splatter was on her? No signs breaking and entering? No suspects? So law enforcement did not look at the obvious...the wife?We need a sequel and a prequel to explain this mess Lee Daniels.Rewatch it and concentrate on if Sky was telling it but she was the killer.

    I guess the reason they made Sky and her team con artists is maybe to show they weren't the best of people to possibly compare to Monique's character who's way worse. Idk. I loved Monique's performance it was chilling how she was able to switch personalities for her character. But other than that yea the script was really silly. Especially when Sky was trying to like reason with the murderer like "Oh you'll be rich and alone" Like why tf would she care she killed them to be alone 😂

    This movie story line was good. I actually felt Monique killed the family just to write a book and make money from the beginning. But I felt the reading should’ve been deeper than that and explained how she got to that point. The kills could’ve been better. But I think sky killed everybody and maybe that’s why it was written that way. The reading 2 should explain more on how these readings are possessed and passing it on to the next reader.

    I believe that Monique's character was never the "assailant" as was portrayed. I think that the story we see playing out is what Sky is telling the audience happened, but I believe that Sky set up the events that took place, killing her "friends" who were using her for monetary gain despite knowing how it affected her, getting money out of the deal and also creating more monetary gain by telling her "story of survival". I don't think anyone was ever possessed, just an opportunist. Monique being the killer didn't make sense as her injuries would not have been substantiated as I am sure she went to the hospital and these things would not have been able to be faked.

    Nick & Joseph! I love you guys! I just watched this movie, before watching your spoiler review. So many movies these days have great concepts and poor execution. Monique's performance was amazing, it was great to see her range. Your review was pretty identical to my own; over repeated dumb points (no wifi, the mom gonna pay the bills, etc) and illogical motivations like murdering a team of physics would have less consequences than just letting the physic report her reading to the cops? PS, glad to see her and Lee Daniels are friends again; has Oprah and she ever had their olive branch. I love you both!!!!!! Give me the story behind the name Fish Jelly

    Did y’all not understand Sky killed everyone? We were witnessing Sky’s viewpoint of what went on in the house. Just like at the beginning we were witnessing Emma’s viewpoint about what supposedly happened, until it cut into the interview and then later we found out what happened. At the end Sky was asked “How did you get out?” which means Sky was telling what supposedly happened until it cut into the interview yet again. Now I do think what possessed Emma possessed Sky, not only was it possession but Emma was really crazy as well. But they set it up for a part 2 after showing Sky’s sinister look into the camera at the end. The demon cut Emma’s finger off to make it believable and it stabbed Sky in the hand, the same exact thing that happened to Emma happened to Sky. It would explain how Sky got connections with the same interviewer as Emma in the beginning, because that wasn’t a news interview it was an interview to promote a book.

    So it seems to me that Sky orchestrated the entire thing. Sky has abilities, she can see things, she can see peoples real intentions. She can be possessed and she can probably make someone else become possessed. The scene where they were talking about splitting the 20K seemed odd to me, Sky does allllll the work but they have to split it equally? Sky didn’t like her friends and could see they were low-key using her. She wanted to help her mum and free herself from financial strain. I’m not sure if Emma actually killed her family or if it was indeed a home invasion as Sky could have manipulated Emma and made Emma possessed. Also when Emma was killing her friend by the bottom of the stairs why was Sky just sitting there? 😂😂
    Anyway at the end some type of possession occurred because the veins started popping on her forehead so not sure if Emma possessed Sky’s body or Sky removed the Possession she could have placed on Emma’s body. Nonetheless Sky isn’t as innocent as she seems which was confirmed in the final post credit scene where she looks into the camera revealing all is not what it seems.

    What I believe will happen is if you remember when Sky was in the coffee shop with her boyfriend that she stated that she knew what happened when people get touched by a spirit that they become possessed. Sky stated it had happened to her when she was younger but never explained how she got rid of the spirit. THE SPIRIT HAS ALWAYS BEEN iN SKY !! This happens in real life because there are real life spirits living within people in our world. I believe sky planned all of this because she knew that splitting $20k( $5k each) would not be enough to help her family through poverty. Sky was so inspired by Emma's story that she basically shared her perspective on it. Actually Emma never killed her family & the real killers are still out there.
