Getting together one evening, a group of friends on a tour of famous Hollywood murder scenes stumbles upon a mysterious house on their trip and find it to be filled with far more dangerous entities then they ever expected.
This here was one of the worst genre examples in this class and really has very little redeeming value. Most of this is based on the fact that there's just nothing happening in this one. The idea behind the film is quite cool and unique, but the fact that there's just endless, endless scenes of the group wandering around the house with the first-person perspective, based on the fact that this is a found-footage film, means that what little there is to actually be entertained by is so hard to make-out and realize what it is that it just becomes all the more confusing and disorienting about what's happening, rendering the effect completely moot and disastrous. Even still, the fact that nothing happens here is the biggest obstacle that really can't redeem the film because it can't offer up any real scares or potentially chilling moments based on the fact that the whole film is centered around the fact that it can't offer up any scares or thrills to overcome the limitations of the genre which results in keeping the camera pointed away from whatever is supposed to terrify us only to turn back and see nothing, shaking camera shots that are so blurry you can't tell what's going on, countless times where the safety of their well-being is forsaken for getting the camera to record it all and just so much blandness about what's going on with them that this becomes a chore to sit through and a boring effort once it gets going. The one thing that does work somewhat well here is the fact that the central premise for their trip is quite ingenious and really should be used in other efforts since there's some potential for some really chilling moments in a story like this should it get in a film that really deserves it, but by doing nothing with it as it is really just underscores how futile and wasted this one is.
