Nyctophobia

I like horror and scyfy. However, this is the WORST movie ever, seriously bad acting! Cheap and it should be illegal to create movies this bad and waste our time. My time is precious, I don't get much of it and it ticks me off when I waste it watching something so stupid and with such pathetic acting. This looks like something a couple of inexperienced teens put together and posted online. The entire time they are running around with a flashlight, you can't see anything, the camera is bouncing all over the place, we can't see anything in the background and it looks like they are using a doorbell cam to shoot the movie. It's just sad.

Nyctophobia . That's bout all I can saw about the movie , first off found footage films ended with Blair witch In my option , in fact when I start a movie with camera all over the place , I shut it off , you can get a tripod for $10 ?

Was so upset with this that I went in shed and grabbed sum alien figures from Halloween and put outside my window then grabbed my iPad with a light and reshot this whole movie . Just to redeem myself , this was a lady director ? There usually in high form with there movies .

I even started banging fridge door in a fit of rage lol .

Wow , I'm going to have to watch a year of Disney flicks to come back from this .

Have a great night folks .

I will return .

Trying to retell a creepy story, hosts of a local urban legend podcast tell the story about a pair of sisters and their friend who are trying to celebrate their graduation when they notice an unusual power outage affecting the area and other residents disappearing around them realize a monster is responsible.

This was a fine if somewhat troubling genre effort. Among its better features is the strong setup that allows for some genuinely fun elements to come together. Featuring the main wraparound of the creepypasta coming into play with why they're telling the story, the main setup of the couple coming together to film their graduation celebrations only to gradually get unnerved when the supernatural blackout disrupts their plans and plunges them into the race for survival against the creatures that come about hunting them in the darkness offers a lot to like. This brings about the first half of getting to know them, getting to know what the couples are about, and their intended plans for the future before then thrusting them into survival mode against the unseen creatures that are hiding in the darkness. Using found-footage for everything keeps it fun with the lack of light already at a premium because of the blackout before relying on the machine for everything is a solid touch making the escalating tension and thrilling attacks here far more intense as this one goes along. Otherwise, there are some underwhelming elements here that come about more from the filmmaking style than anything else. The idea of filming this one as a found-footage film during a blackout is a great idea to build tension and suspense during the film, but instead, this one manages to be nearly impossible to tell what's going on as the lack of light here makes it harder to see anything than anything else. Restricting everything to a single light from the phone they're recording on rather than dealing with the situation normally as the majority of the second half is frantically screaming, calling out for each other, or bloodied blobs running around in the background sending them screaming in the other direction so it's hard to see what's going on. It makes the film feel far cheaper than it should with this approach as the dearth of monster action and no real violence being hidden like this is a bit of an obvious sign of these issues that are caused due to the filmmaking tactic, and also highlights how repetitive that part of the film is with the same thing happening without much deviation, all keeping this one down from what it could've been.

I don't give many movies a 1, because I think there's at least some tiny thing in most of them that puts them above that level, but this is a 1! 95% of this movie is the characters walking around in the dark with a cell phone saying the F-word in almost every sentence. There are aliens, but you only hear them...none are shown. I understand that found footage films are hard to do, but even giving them the benefit of the doubt on that, this one will still bore you to tears throughout. There's about an hour, maybe a little less, of the main story. They added a little wrap around thing where some people are supposedly doing a pod cast, I assume to get the length of this one up to feature length, but even that is pretty bad. I think there is a 5-7 minute short film they might have been able to get out of what they did here, but unfortunately that is lost in the long, boring shots and dialog.
