E-Demon (2016)

Four college friends were involved in the Quad Murders, so called because all four had murders in their homes while on a group chat. This is the footage of what happened that night.

Kendra, Dwayne, AJ and Mars went to college together. Now their lives are busy and they get together on line to catch up and talk about the good old days. AJ has given everyone headsets with audio and video so they can move around while they talk.

The group acts like they’re still in college. They insult each other, and not in a fond way.  They argue about who invented freak out, which was what they called their pranks. And they continue the tradition of horrible pranks by pretending to attack people in their homes. So when something goes wrong, everyone thinks it’s a prank. Oh you’re dead? Right, it’s a prank.

As things start getting weird in each person’s home, they start questioning if it’s real or they are the only person not in on the prank. They’ve already done pranks within pranks on this call. So are the attacks more pranks? Are the murders real? Mars grandmother warned him not to open the cursed trunk in the attic because there was evil trapped inside. His great, great grandmother was killed for practicing witchcraft in Salem. So is that the problem? Sigh. 

This is not a good use of your time. Why does AJ think the virus is airborne when they’re all in different cities?  Why does Kendra type “where are you guys” in the chat when none of them are at their computers? Why do thirty year olds think pranks are funny?  Why does Kendra keep her brownies in her bedroom?  And why do people think they can dismiss anything derogatory they say by claiming it’s locker room talk?

Ridiculous dialogue

Anyone who interrupts me will get a personal ass whipping from me.

Holy shit, I got my moneys worth. You got freaked!

It’s just locker room talk.

Bastion - It sounds like it could be a demon trap. How did it break?
Dwayne - Hold on, what’s a demon trap?
Bastion - It’s what is sounds like.

So they chose to cut off her feet and keep three
feet of nothing at the top of the frame?
We get to see them type
Name another movie where you read Wikipedia
Another victim has entered the demon chat
