47 Hours to Live (2019)

 

After moving across the country with her family, Rose meets Cadence on her first day at school and they quickly become friends. It’s hard to know how much time has passed in this movie. I’m not use if they get close very quickly or if it’s been weeks of getting to know each other.  

One night Cadence convinces Rose to play a game she found on a horror website.  The two pass the phone back and forth as they say a line about darkness coming to get them. When the timer goes off, whoever the phone takes a photo of will be dead in 47 hours.  

After Rose starts seeing and hearing strange things, she believes she’s going to die. Cadence gets tired of Rose whining and they play again so the curse can be transferred to Cadence.  Then strange things start happening to her but she refuses to acknowledge it to Rose.

The two girls keep playing the game to pass the curse back and forth as they try to figure out how to get rid of it.  I’m not sure why they wouldn’t want to try to get the cheerleaders to play since they make Cadence’s life a living hell. Rose wouldn’t want to to it, but Cadence seems like she’d be okay with it.

This is pretty average. It’s not something you’ll get excited about, but also not one of those low budget amateur movies that are all over streaming services nowadays.  

One thing that really bugged me was Rose supposedly moved from Bangor, Maine.  They said it several times and kept pronouncing it bang-er.  It’s pronounced bang-gore.   I’m just glad they didn’t say she was from Worcester, Massachusetts because I doubt they’d have even been in the ballpark with that pronunciation.
