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.

I was impressed by the whole one take idea, however I felt like the ending sucked and they often walked through doors that they had just walked through moments earlier and acted like they were lost too much so it seemed like over acting... I felt like u watched 2 endings and that was not necessary...

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.

The good:

• Creepy atmosphere / setting. The black-and-white color helped leave a lot to the imagination.

• Good acting by the lead actress, especially for a film done in one take

• Realistic reactions by the characters ... After seeing some minor objects move without explanation, for example, the main character starts losing it, and she correctly demands that "we get out of here." In lesser quality horror films, characters usually act dumb and decide to "check things out" instead of leaving

The bad:

• The ending was kind of abrupt, and a lots of questions remain unanswered

• I'm not spoiling anything when I say that they get lost in the abandoned building. Well .. the reason they get lost actually had nothing to do with the ghosts or the supernatural. They got lost because they were too stupid to make a plan for retracing their steps. They should've put markers on their route, or they should've made notes to remember which way to go when they have to leave. Really ... they go in this huge building, wander all about, and expect to use their memory to get back out? Even if they hadn't run into ghosts, they would've still gotten lost just the same

• I got really annoyed by the lead actress's repetitive complaint about her stomach hurting. I was fine when she made that complaint 2 or 3 times, but she kept saying again and again to the point where I got impatient and fed up of it.

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.
