The ceremony goes awry – naturally – and the film flashes forward to pick up with Linda ( Caitlin Halderman), a poor high school student who works in a convenience store to save for College.

The crime in question is DreadOut’s opening scene: a group of men force a captive mother and her daughter to read an incantation from a scroll while they hold down a possessed person in the middle of a circle. In the film, a group of social-media obsessed teenagers attempt to find viral fame by investigating an abandoned apartment building condemned by the police for a previous crime. That logline is also more or less the plot of the 2019 film adaptation by Kimo Stamboel. The heroine, Linda, must uncover the town’s secrets, as well as realize her own power (and the power of her smartphone/camera) to combat the forces who threaten her and her friends. The game focuses on a group of Indonesian high school teens who wind up in a strange town that is overrun by paranormal activity and malevolent ghosts. In the case of DreadOut, the latest film adaptation of a successful videogame, the foundational premise remains relatively intact. Mileage may vary based on how beloved the property is, how adamant the fans are, or how willing audiences are to accept creative license. In the grand scheme of video game adaptations, the hit/miss ratio is pretty significantly skewed towards the latter.
