Absolute pants. I probably should've read the synopsis before I watched

Typical run of the mill ghost film, built upon numerous jump scares.

Sad thing is it actually started reasonably well, then went horribly downhill after the first supernatural incident.

Laura's 'friends' were also badly written, dropped her like a hat with no hesitation first sign of madness.

Ending made no sense either. I'm kind of annoyed at myself I watched the whole film.

Ehh, it didn't factor geography so much into the haunting - ie, haunted house, cursed asylum, etc.

As for her friends, most of the ones dropping her from the getgo were acquaintances. The film makes it clear early on that she keeps a wide social media circle. Not exactly a basis for terribly close relationships. It is completely rational that they would take "her posts" of all the death videos at face value.
