Godforsaken

There are A LOT of bad found footage movies out there but I try and watch them all because it is my favorite sub genre. Godforsaken really blew me out of the water. The last 40 minutes of this movie is absolutely insane! Great movie to watch with friends in the dark.

I would have given this a zero if I was able to. The acting was so bad that it caused me physical pain. The guy in the wheelchair, his acting was so bad I wanted to rip my own leg off just so I had something to throw at him. The Chad's mother, her acting was so bad!!!! Also, the guy who played Chad his acting was terrible!!! It was so bad.

Also, they were dancing around with those red pieces of wood, and they never explained it!!! I hated this film and it was one of the worst films I've ever seen which is sad because I originally liked the storyline it just went round in circles and by the end of it I just hope that they all died. I turned it off after a while because I was doing a disservice to my own retinas at that point.

Found footage is my favourite horror genre and this film let people down.

People who are voting it about a 5 either worked on the film or are family members of the actors.

Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you deserve better and choose another film.

This movie is amazing for what it is. It was made on a small budget and filmed in a small town, which gives it a unique charm. Many people can't appreciate it because they're brainwashed by CGI and big-budget films. The acting was okay, reminding me of a theatre production, which isn't a bad thing at all. The actors brought a raw, authentic feel to their performances, making the story more relatable and grounded. The film's simplicity is its strength, showcasing creativity and passion. It's a refreshing break from the high-tech, expensive spectacles we're used to. This movie should have a higher rating than it does.

While it's true found footage has been done to death (pun intended) this latecomer has to be one of the scariest I've ever seen, and I've seen 'em all. "Godforsaken" is a terrifying little gem out of the Great White North, and proof Canada can produce some scary stuff. After a delightfully disturbing start, it heads out in a completely unexpected direction, gradually building up to a terrifying final 20 minutes or so that is absolutely relentless and had me muting my television and (I'll admit it) covering my eyes more than once. After "28 Days Later" rewrote the rules, I'm completely surprised someone was able to add yet another layer to zombie lore. The writing was a very good, though sometimes the characters would do something that left me wondering if in their particular universe zombie movies don't exist. But anyway, the acting was substantially better than something with a budget this small had any right to be - no little thing when it comes to "watch-ability," if that's a word. Anyway - definitely worth a look if you're in the market for something different that just might scare the pants off of you.

For a low budget it's very well done. The makeup is solid and thr acting is actually quit believable. Obviously not perfect and a little cheesy sometimes. Still makes me wonder why most of these kind of films are so poor when it doesn't seem tough to pull off.
