Verdict on Do You See What I See
Do You See What I See is a horror thriller following a group of friends trying to save their friend’s soul. She has become possessed by something after making a wish on her 20th birthday and now the race is on to save her life.
This story is based on a scary podcast and works by keeping things purely based on horror. It doesn’t reach any of the extremes it could have, and it feels like a tale told about a small group of people. This does follow a more traditional approach to dealing with an unwanted spirit. The story is also driven by the idea of friendship and how important it is when things become difficult. In the end, it is an entertaining scary story.
Where to Watch

Final Thoughts – Do You See What I See is an entertaining scary story.
