""Come Play" is a horror movie that tells the story of a lonely, autistic boy who uses an audio reader app to help him communicate. When a mysterious creature uses the child's device to enter our world, the parents must fight to save their son from a real threat. The interesting thing about this movie is that it uses the famous children's character SpongeBob SquarePants as one of the ways to terrorize. Director Jacob Chase mentioned in an interview that he got the idea of using the figure of the sea sponge after talking to his wife, who works with autistic children, and she revealed how episodes of the cartoon are essential for those people.
