Nightshot

The horror movie in itself was done well especially since it was shot in such a unique way. The black and white seemed natural because of the darkness. The storyline of pregnant women getting dissected was horrific and disgusting though. I really wish I had been made aware of this before hand because I couldn't have watched it. That being said, the main character played her part well even though I'm not sure "dumb" Youtuber was quite what she was going for. Like no ghosts don't stay in one place. And quoting ghost hunters like they are experts. The dragging on did its part in effectively scaring you and feeling like it was more real when the scares did happen. Hugo was the biggest drag ever though. Watching him carelessly stroll about and complain about his vertigo and his camera was infuriating. The ending didn't make total sense. However the "final climax" or second to last was awful and terrifying. By awful I mean it was so hard to watch I had to cover my ears too because the sounds that girl made were horrific. Well done, it felt somewhat real and I didn't even mind that it was in French. If you can stomach the storyline then give it a try.

Let's say it's a french movie, and, lucky me, I'm french too.

First thing I noticed : the acting is bad, very bad. A girl goes hysterical, crying and overcrying : but no tears in her eyes. Oh. From time to time, she's overacting, obviously. The camera guy is just an idiot : his speaking is amateurish. Well, in the second half of the movie, he can see clearly that the girl is totally terrified. As I'm a guy too, I would take her away as fast as I could.

But him ? Nope. Let the girl go first, and take your time exploring deeper...

After the end credits, there's a french sentence "un film français et fier de l'être". Translation : "a French movie and proud of it". Haha.

"A very bad French movie, and ashamed to be" if you ask me. Avoid it.

I had the chance to see it in preview, this film is great, the realization incredible. filmed in one take is crazy, the actress is great and the story too.

It's not a bad movie and I love the fact that it was shot all at once. Other movies with that claim normally don't deliver with having a cut here or there. But this one promises to be purely one shot and a huge thumbs up for that. Also a brilliant performance from the lead actress so two thumbs up for her. I study horror movies like this looking for how many times I can guess how they achieved the scare or special effect and a few times I went really?.... but I did over all enjoy it. Far from the worst I've seen in the found footage genre. Tho it does rely on some simple things to get by on scares in the start. It ends strong enough without falling flat on its face. The most original story? No. But a good watch with a great atmosphere and creepy sound design. Go in without expecting too much and you might be surprised with how much you enjoy it.

I came into this film cautiously optimistic. Usually, foreign efforts in the found footage genre sit better with me than American ones (i.e. Borderlands). I thought the ambiance was palpable, and the acting was excellent. I felt like the premise was about as derivative as you can be, but a lot of the set decoration stood out from the usual fare of creepy dolls, pentagrams on the floor, upside down crosses (there were a couple in here, but tastefully done) and runic or proto-Hebrew writing. At the end of the movie, I felt like it was an impressive effort, and the acting on behalf of the female lead sold me on it (to qualify that, I worked as a first responder, and I've heard real agonizing, blood-curdling screams, and hers were very authentic... authentic enough to be a bit of a trigger for those with PTSD). I say solid 7/10.
