Summary

During a basketball game at Pellington High School, Mason "Horse" Raymore is troubled by a demonic humanoid.  Inside his locker is a mysterious urn, which he destroys.

Horse takes a shower and the same monster sets him on fire, with water doing jack shit.

Err, okay.

Six months later, new girl Chrys inherits Horse's old locker and finds the same urn completely intact.  She takes a peek inside and finds an Aztec death whistle.

Chain smoker Mr. Craven confiscates trinket and cannot resist giving it a good old blow, leading to his sick future self killing him.

It's revealed he had lung cancer.

At a pool party, Grace blows object which emits a deafening scream, placing everybody in danger.

Chrys and Ellie visit Horse's terminally ill grandmother Ivy, who breaks everything down.

If the whistle makes no sound, your future self won't show up until your time is up in real time.

But if it makes a noise - all bets are off.

However, offering a sacrifice before death results in survival.

Got all that?

Cool. 

Mid-credits

Three months later, a girl finds the whistle and blows it in assembly, beginning the cycle again.

Summon your death

Clearly influenced by A Nightmare on Elm Street (Mr. Craven is named after Wes) and primarily Final Destination, this has some decent kills, but is ultimately disposable.

A cigar box reads Muschietti, as in Andy, who directed It and co-developed prequel TV series It - Welcome to Derry.

Coincidentally, Nick Frost played Andy in The World's End (2013), the final part of the so-called Blood and Ice Cream trilogy.

One rule I purposely didn't mention is that if whoever tries to 'kill' their apparition, the consequences happen to them.  For example, firing a gun means you also take a bullet.

This is identical to the justice field in Red Dwarf IV episode Justice (February 1991), which punishes criminals by making the result of any crime happen to them, as Lister soon finds out.

Did they really plagiarise shit?

Who the fuck knows.
