More like Let's Scare Emma.
What a ball of confusion this was and very annoying.All Emma was doing was sleeping until she gets interrupted from a prank by her cousin and her "annoying" friends and just wonky from there on out.
Now the cool thing about this film is that it's all done in ONE take
which I love!
But! Everything was jumbled in every direction story wise, not making since and majority of the time I feel bad for Emma cause poor girls got asthma and being pranked left and right and then the ending leaves you hanging and credits begin and your going wait what?Also, I did like those neon light up masks.. they were pretty cool.

I really couldn’t get into this at all... I stopped and restarted at least 6 times. I don’t even think I could name a character besides Julie or summarize the plot to be honest.
It’s getting a full star only because the one interrupted take was at least an interesting shooting style.
The cover is the best part of the movie.

I may be in the minority, but I found this movie to be effective. The one-take real-time style of the filming gives this movie a pace that I appreciated, and just the hints of the house across the street being haunted, without the bogging down of backstory, was enough to push the plot to the inevitable horror that happens when they go there without wasting our time.
The title is of course a reference to Let's Scare Jessica to Death, but just picture it as a reverse of that movie, and you're following the antagonists instead. Throw in some Blair Witch Project and Fright Night in for good measure, and it'll give you an idea.
The last 10 minutes gets…

Good evening and welcome fellow Children of Chaos.
Bleh. I've seen a few people praise the idea this was shot on one single take, and can we please not do that? Like this movie is awful and we don't want to encourage people to lean on a cheap gimmick instead of good storytelling.
Basically what we have here is a group of the most annoying girls who keep fucking talking over each other go to do a prank on one of their neighbors, a prank we don't see. Rather we get the redhead girl, who none of their names I can remember just freaks out. One of the girls pulled a This House Has People In It and phased through…

I liked only knowing as much about the offscreen occurrences as the main girl did and how it played out in real-time. The opening title credit pays creative homage to the OG Suspiria and Vertigo posters which set an enjoyably aware storytelling tone.
If you’re into the trailer, stylings like Silent House (2011), and not viewing the film just to hate on teenage girl aesthetics, you may enjoy it.

Confusing lil flick man.
It's called Let's Scare Julie but Julie is barely even in the film for 5 seconds while Emma, whose the main character, gets scared alot by her cousin and her painfully annoying friends. There's a voodoo doll, a old lady ghost, and a drunk uncle. None of which actually matter...
The ending is abrupt as hell. Whole thing was a shit show.

Her skin was, like, dead. Like she's a corpse or something.
Nope. Just nope. Why in the blue hell does this piece of cinematic catastrophe bears a similar title to the classic Let's Scare Jessica to Death? Let's Bore Julie to Death would've been the more fitting title for this literal pitch black marvel of nothingness. This mini budget, almost entirely one location setting, and most certainly ad-libbed one-shot horror outing from writer-director Jud Cremata tests real time gimmick from necessary to superfluous execution all the way through. At times also feeling like a near parody mix between The Taking of Deborah Logan and Unfriended yet forsaking their purposeful use of found-footage conventions in favor of the invisible cameraman, for…
