Our take

A podcast host receives terrifying recordings in this paranormal horror. The story includes mass viewer suicides, a hospital suicide, ghost fear and strong profanity. Psychological horror and media-cursed tropes dominate. Treat as mature teen viewing given self-harm references and sustained dread.

Uplifting themes

Cautionary notes about media influence are subtle at best

Story (may spoil tone)

The host of a popular paranormal podcast becomes haunted by terrifying recordings mysteriously sent her way.
