Infrared

I'm guessing there was 1 writer for this movie who had no one to bounce ideas off of as far as the script goes. On top of that the lady's acting was absolutely terrible. Wes' acting however while not incredibly great was actually not bad. The script took away from his acting skills I think. A better script could've made him seem a little more authentic cause he had his moments. Usually getting into his line he was good but by the end of his line or lines he lost the ability to be called a good actor. The writer had a good idea regarding what the next setting and lines would be but it seems like he got bored half way through each scene and rushed it just to be done. My advice take your time and keep with it. Some acting was actually so good I couldn't tell it was actually a movie... had to go check because the mannerisms and lines were superbly authentic, like the lady in the coffee cup scene... super job. I'll give it 4 cause I actually watched it.

I've watched many found footage movies over the years. Most are pretty bad, because you have to wait usually for the last 10 minutes for something to happen. But when you wait 90 minutes and nothing happens, thats a disappointment. Boring, boring, boring. Characters are dull. Script is non existent, and there is no tense build-up at all. Why do i need 600 characters to leave a review? Come on IMDB, thats ridiculous, its a movie made on a budget lower that a Dennys breakfast special for seniors. And I'm now rambling on to get to my magic number so i can leave this review to warn you to not waste your time. Im gonna hit that submit button again. Gimme a sec.....

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.

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.

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.
