When Lauren discovers a strange message on her boyfriends phone, just four haunting words: Can you see me? her world begins to unravel. A flicker on the screen. A voice in the dark. As the house descends into darkness and dread, Lauren is stalked by an unseen force that does not chase or strike, it whispers. The voice calls her name, twisting reality around her. Each whisper brings her closer to the edge... because once you've heard it three times, you're already dead.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie comes on the heels of its billion-dollar grossing predecessor, and seeks to do absolutely nothing other than repeat its success. In this, the film is eminently effective.
