#Screamers

Horror films often get a low rating but I enjoy them anyway. This one however I thought was utter rubbish. I jumped the first time but the rest was predictable with a boring story line. I wouldn't recommend it as it's 80 minutes if your life wasted!

This is actually a pretty good found footage movie. Pretty good acting, a very mysterious storyline, and some jump scares. Though "screamer" videos are very outdated and stupid, this movie takes something everyone thinks little of and has never thought deep into, and gives it a scary back story and spin. The film's plot revolves around a website and the website similar to youtube. Videos can be submitted to the site by viewers by one of two ways. One way gsthers all their info and the other, apparently, does not. A mysterious video is added anonymously and it garners the attention of the crew quickly . The website director ends up talking on the phone with the girl in the video in an attempt to find out where it came from. After getting nowhere, and after a long, but key to the story, first and second act, the group sets out to unveil the origin of the footage and to prove the authenticity of it. The director being very excited and oblivious, is aided by his weary crew into the dark of the night. The setup is creepy and the locations used are goodand scary. The house of Tara is extremely scary. The movie sort of has that raw sort of feeling that U only see in certain found footage films such as v/h/s, blair witch, hooked up, etc. Only intellectual horror fans and die hard found footage fans will know what im talking about. The movie is slow paced but doesn't feel overly long. The characters are convincing enough and even kinda likeable. Good not great. Worth the watch even the buy for collectors.

I'm very prone to watching, and actually liking, trashy found footage horror films. Check the archive of my reviews and you'll see this is true.

Even with that being the case, this movie is absolutely god-awful. It is possessed of exactly zero redeeming value. Admittedly, the acting isn't bad, but the actors are neither doing or saying anything that you would ever want to see or hear. It may as well be a found footage movie of people cleaning a bathroom but with less entertainment value.

A found footage film is typically a lot of glacially slow buildup to a climactic scene right at the end where you get your little doggy-treat payoff of some actual horror or something supernatural as your reward for having invested all that time in the lead up. Not in this movie. All but no buildup and then a nothing payoff at the end.

Take everybody's word for it in the reviews here. It's the biggest nothing of a movie ever made. Especially don't watch it trying to find out why everybody says it's so bad.

Okay another found footage movie that's pretty bad. I think it was aimed in the beginning somewhat at making fun of Google which had some slight amusement to it. I thought the downside of the movie was that the actions of the characters when faced with obvious dilemma are pretty illogical even for stupid people. So that made it somewhat lacking in the last 1/3 of the film.

This is a shockingly poor film. I spent the whole film hoping it would go somewhere but it really doesn't. Awful camcorder footage and awful acting, makes for a terrible film.
