Infrared

I really wanted to like this movie. Reviews seem to be all over the place. I just couldn't get into it. Absolutely nothing happens until the last fifteen minutes. And by then, I didn't care. I kept pausing it and hoping it was almost over. Wasn't scary. Wasn't creepy. Wasn't gory. Wasn't anything. I see what they were going for, but it did nothing for me.

Thanks to the utter brilliance of writer/director and possible heir apparent to Steven Speilberg Tommy Wiseau, I can never see actor Greg Sestero as any character other than Mark, and I subconsciously say "oh hi Mark" when he pops up. Infrared, which Sestero also produced, really could use some Wiseau magic. As found footage "ghost hunters in an abandoned location" films go, this one is no better or worse than most. That isn't saying much. The cast is capable and tries but you can only do so much with what they've been given to work with here. It tries to literally check all the found footage cliche boxes and mostly does. It's watchable but far from memorable.

This movies made on an Iphone 6 should be banned by law. How give money to people for this garbage movies? Why make this? Who makes this? Get a job at Mecdonalds to supress the urge to make this filth!

Just imagine sitting in a chair staring at your wall for 89 minutes. Watching a pile of rocks is more entertaining. Flossing your teeth is more exciting.

To be fair the actors showed some promise but the fact NOTHING happens is still that.... nothing. Ever. Happens.

I couldn't make it through more than six minutes at a sitting. I ended up refilling my empty spice and seasoning containers and rearranging my spice rack. Ya, that was more interesting than this film.

Can't even call it a slow burn, more of a tepid leftover omelette. This film was like, a handful of folks binged watched Grave Encounters (pretty good films those two are) and Hell House LLC and every other iteration in that sub-genre and decided to toss their hat in the ring.

IMO it's a failure. Can't recommend it for any reason.. I've spent more time writing this review than I have watching the film in one sitting.
