Jay (Maika Monroe) has sex with a dude she thinks is her boyfriend, only for him to tie her up, tell her that she's now going to be haunted by some sort of specter that only she can see that will kill her if it touches her, and the only way to get rid of it is to pass it to (i.e. have sex with) someone else and hope that person doesn't die. Then he bounces. Jay now has to decide whether or not to burden someone else with the monster.
Some dude really said "What if The Ring but with genitals?" and got it made into an actual thing. The audacity.
Jokes aside, this is just scaremongering about teens having sex. It's dumb 80s propaganda and has no place in a civilized world. Worse, it's a really boring movie. There are long stretches where some girl reads Dostoyevsky and it's supposed to be profound. So maybe if you're like 13, this is a mind-blowing film, but as an adult? Hard pass. It's currently streaming on Peacock for free with ads but I wouldn't recommend it.
