    don't expect much and you'll be rewarded

    OMFG this was a very surprising experience. I didn't read the comments about this movie, I didn't believe the ratings, but I really love this type of a horror. and the best is that it's only an hour long, everything is in point. don't expect much from this and you'll be rewarded πŸ˜ˆπŸ’œ

    Impressed

    This was so much better than I expected.

    It's low budget, made under restrictions and all this did for the movie was breed creativity. More films should try it. I think this movie is pretty creepy. When I was watching it I was pretty on edge. I also enjoyed that is was so short, the filmmakers had an idea and made it, it didn't matter to them that it wasn't over the hour and a half mark, they didn't pad it out so the movie is paced so well.

    Goosebumps? check - Heart rate up? check

    I strongly believe the people who didn't get scared while watching this either lack empathy, or like my girlfriend were not really following and played with their phones throughout the movie.

    This project proves low budget does not equal a bad movie. If you pay attention and try to put yourself in the characters' positions and listen to all the little noises and stuff you're in for a ride.

    I rate movies based on how they make me feel, not on how much they cost to produce or what other people are saying about it. People involved in the production of this movie seem to really understand their target audience. Absolutely terrifying. Perfect for Halloween.

    Jump Scare Fest

    It's pretty well done but a really shallow movie.

    The Zoom angle adds a bit of freshness, but it's not as good as the first Unfriended.

    lots of loud noises, shaky camera's and essentially a long series of jump scares knitted together - even at 60 mins it felt a bit too long

    Inane chat, but fairly natural conversations, zero story, but what it does, it does well. Just don't come looking for something engaging - it's a ghostrain on film.

    Incredible for a short, low-budget movie!

    I saw a trailer for this appearing on the IMDB homepage and I told my wife to look it up! Looks good! The movie was very in the moment as far as the quarantine, and a lot of people can find that relatable. Plenty of jump scares and I was on the edge of my seat! Very entertaining and it kept my interest. The acting looked intense and real. These people looked terrified! Getting down to the point, I thought this movie was great and It's not even an hour, so even If you're a hater and don't like it, it wasn't much time lost. Peace.
