Is this the first time I notice the potential a movie wastes? So many horrors manage to develop a better scrip than you'd expect for a low budget production yet completely fail to deliver. Why? In my opinion so far is because sometimes, like here, the subject is overused, and has little room to wiggle. In all sincerity what more could they have covered, what is there uncharted?

I did like the premise sure, but ever since I've seen Grave Encounters, a movie that managed to shock a little through its very end, which I found to be the cherry on top, movies like this, found footage or not, are quite bound to respect the very same rules the ones before them did. Sure, I wanted it to be good, and to have fun with it, perhaps even to experience a few scares, but excepting the self satire, it brought nothing new.

It is definitely not a bad movie, but most likely you have seen it before under other names, so if you just have to check this one out as well, do it at your own risk and time. You have been warned.

Cheers!

Yes, this really is a "B film". The acting is B level. The special effects are sparse and low budget. The script is funny enough to keep you watching. This script is definitely self-aware that it is what it is and they just roll with it. The weakest point of the film is definitely it's plot. The plot has good bones but fails wildly and hilariously in execution. It's definitely a movie that is watchable but not for any good reasons, just laughable ones.

I feel like this movie could have been good. But it's short run time and lack of ability to handle a low budget that kills it. I tried so hard not to laugh at the end but you just have to. It's that kind of movie.

I wish I could write something really good at this movie as the beginning was only the better part of this film, once it reaches the middle and towards the end, it kinda went downhill pretty fast., The actors are average as not one of them was the weak link acting wise, I guess they should have made it more scarier like those in the NUN / CONJURING special effects.,

anyways, I won't recommend this to someone who wants to be truly scared, I fell asleep towards the end, Yes, it's that boring!

a 4/10 for me...+ 1 for the actors performance and +1 for the beginning, it had potential

This is a serviceable little horror flick. Released quietly last year I was initially intrigued by the trailer, the casting of Heather Lagenkamp(Nightmare on elm st.) and childhood crush Ryan Merriman (Ring 2). The movie centers around a group of paranormal investigators trying to do legit shows but on the verge of cancellation they finally discover something real and begin to regret it. The movie doesn't bring anything new to the table but it's marginally entertaining. Sadly the films best performance comes from Lagenkamp who only shows up 15 mins before the ending and still packs one hell of a scream. As for the rest of the cast they're okay. A little more imagination and development would have benefitted this but it's still not a bad way to pass the time.

3/5

Hi. I'm a fan of both horror films, and the found footage/mockumentary format, and my reviews reflect that.

This wasn't as bad as some reviewers suggest. Lets just assume this isn't up for the Oscars and move on from there.

The two leads were relatively strong, particularly Jamie Tisdale. For the first half it was pretty much all on them and they did pretty well with it. Myk Watford brought some Cajun fresh air to the show.

The script was nothing blazingly original for fans of the genre, still it put its own twist on it and that's admirable.

It was nice to see Heather Langenkamp, most notably from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies, and that's where the film really finds it's footing and it's pace.

As always with these, if you're looking for something of the level of "Get Out" then you'll leave the film wanting. However, if you've enjoyed films like Hell House LLC, or Savageland then you'll probably find enough in this movie to keep entertained and engaged, even though the quality doesn't necessarily rise to the level of those films.

On the whole, there were enough interesting hooks and character business to keep my attention and entertain me for the runtime of the film.
