The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Josh’s beloved Grandpa Joe has passed on... and they never even got to say goodbye. So, Josh’s wife, Lori plans to do a séance as part of his upcoming surprise birthday party. Despite a stern warning not to hold such a ritual during a birthday celebration, Lori invites Ina, a spiritual medium, to attend the party and conduct the séance. When family and friends gather in the circle to make contact, long held secrets are revealed as Grandpa Joe leads Josh to the discovery of a Masonic ring hidden in the basement. After a series of supernatural disturbances, the circle congregates one last time to attempt to exorcise the malevolent presence and lay it to rest... but can the door, once opened between our reality and the spiritual realm, ever be closed again?

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
