Please will people stop making these hopeless attempts at movies. "Found footage" is such a feeble cover for lack of skills in editing, script, lighting and directing. In the same scene the f-word can be bleeped out while not being bleeped out just 1 minute later. Even the cheapest compact camera's from 10 years ago had OIS. Just an annoying mess resplendent with battery indicators and flashing "Rec" indicators and distracting artificial pixelation somehow being recorded. I guess everyone that worked on this movie and their parents voted this to above a 3 star. Not close to having tension, suspense or horror. It would take a very special person to feel engrossed and invested in this cacophony. I should point out I never saw every minute of this; after 15mins of nothing but what was scripted or unscripted (improv dahling) rambling (without any character pinning) I skipped to the 30th. The only reason I would say to watch this is to see how all the excuses of pathetic movie making are covered up in the "found footage" genre.

As a cohost of Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast, I watched and analyzed this film when we covered it on our most recent Indie Movie Review mini-episode! That being said, the first thing that stuck out to me was the attachment to realism. This is allowed by Jed Brian's use of the found-footage genre, and I think he fully achieves what he is trying for. However, the problem here is, the genre as a whole has been completely oversaturated, so I wouldn't say there is anything new or innovative here... and yet, I see a remarkable potential. With limited resources as a first-time writer, director, and starring actor-which is why we can admit the found-footage genre was actually a good choice, despite its flaws-Mr. Brian was able to pull off a thoroughly convincing narrative. And the way that narrative itself flows, and accompanying it the ratio of exposition to action, is where the twist ultimately derives from, although I dare not spoil that for you by being more descriptive. In fact, go watch it! With an Amazon Prime membership the movie is free to watch at the time of the writing, so I encourage everyone to give it a shot, and see what I mean when I say that Jed Brian has a future in the film industry... just with content that's maybe a little more original.

TL;DR: While this movie suffers from an oversatured genre, these problems aren't to blame on the directing or writing, and in fact, utilizing what resources were available, it's easy to see potential in its creator, and what he could do in a different kind of movie, and it's really worth checking out!

TL;DRTL;DR: Read title. And seriously, go check it out!

Take away the endless f bombs, and most of the jock jackasses are mute. This is awful. I gave up with 15 minutes left. Absolute garbage.

First off I wanna say, I've never heard of this film until the Writer, Director and Actor emailed me to do a interview for this film. Knowing what I knew from the more of info email, I agreed to setup with interview. So a couple days BEFORE we were gonna do the interview over the phone for the Everything Horror Podcast (which if you don't like no filter language avoid my podcast). From the time I spent debating to rent this (before purchasing this), I decided to go for it hoping I'd like it and not a waste.

I enjoyed the camerawork actually and the way they acted / setup sets to do some of the stuff was not really noticeable. The only thing we noticed was near the end was the blood, it did stick out to be more pinkish to really not believe it. I did however got an answer via the Interview that the special effects guy they had at the time wasn't available when it came down to the blood.

If you don't swear teenagers swearing like they would when being around friends and stuff, watch this film. If you can't stand swearing almost every line, just ignore it. And if you would like to check out the interview I did with Unlisted Owners writer, director and actor make sure to check out the Podcast.

This movie had potential, but the bickering characters/actors made it almost impossible to finish. There are literally no words to describe how annoying their constant fighting was throughout EVERY MINUTE of this movie!!! The ending was decent, but by that point I was so annoyed I didn't care!!!
