Featured reviews
A couple decides to drive out the country to surprise visit the boyfriend's grandparents. He decides to bring his camcorder to film the trip. Once they get there they find that the grandparents are away for the weekend, but decide to spend their trip there anyways.
They get bored and the boyfriend decides to explore the barn, a place he has never been allowed to enter since childhood. Once inside they discover a secret, which other reviewers have revealed by I will not.
I enjoyed the first half hour of this as most found footage films of this type have some build-up and this one looked like it would be heading in an entertaining direction. However nothing much happens until the last 20 minutes or so and that is not very entertaining, and not as scary as the filmmakers intended it to be.
The leads were likable and their conversation flowed and did not seem forced. However their actions near the end didn't make very much sense. The end itself was very abrupt and did seem forced.
I have seen worse found footage movies, but this one could have done with more and better scares, and a more well developed ending.

I couldn't even get past 30 minutes of this film. The first ten minutes is nothing but footage of them in a car. He's mumbling so I turned up the telly, but then she was shrieking so I had to turn it back down. The next ten minutes are of them walking around the grounds, having a really boring conversation over dinner and him proposing in the most boring way. Then he decides to go poking around in the barn. Even this was boring. I gave up at this point and turned it off. I'm all for a slow burn, but only if something is grabbing my attention in the meantime. Chemistry, good acting, something. But no. There was nothing at all. I don't know what the world is coming to if this drivel won awards.
Truly one of the worst films I've seen in my life . Zero plot, zero thrill. Guy proposes to a girl, yet the night of their engagement, he wants to go investigate an old barn rather than be intimate and possibly have the best of his life. Add to that, the cheesiest effects and worst directing I've ever seen. The story made no sense , yet every step of the way we're supposed to believe this nonsense. But allegedly, the US government keeps alien corpses in retirees barns. And top-secret government documents in filing cabinets in said barn. Plus the lead character isn't ignoramus, and treats his girl terribly. He is a giant manchild invading the privacy of his grandfather. I wish I could get the hour and 20 minutes back of my life that this film took. Fortunately I watched it for free on Netflix otherwise I'd be very ticked off. STOOPID MOVIE, I REPEAT, STUPIDMOVIE
I have been going through a "found footage" binge recently devouring everything in my way. I can look past all the petty issues people have with the genre. I've seen tons of movies with terrible reviews that I thought deserved 8 or 9 ratings. But this movie is one of the worst,and believe me I've seen some stinkers.
It is basically a really lame version of the "McPherson tapes" but lacking any of its charm. The characters are unlikable,and do unbelievable things(even by found footage standards).The basic formula for a good film with no budget is good character development , tension building,and strategically placed scares,this film does NOT deliver.

I was on board for a hot second with this one. I love alien movies and found footage genre type stuff. This, however was lacking in almost all areas that you would expect to find in something described as "is it real?" type genre film.
I find it mildly unbelievable that anyone could actually think that this movie was the real deal or any 'found footage' film for that matter. It's a movie. It's been produced and been shown in theaters, obviously it isn't going to be real. Anyways, what's more awful than that marketing idea was the atrocious acting. I kept waiting for it to get better and for something to actually happen but I couldn't even bring myself to believe in the story because they both were so bad. The woman playing 'Lisa' was probably the worst, however 'Joe or Joel', I could never really tell, was not anymore spectacular. Their chemistry was horrid, their motivation completely irrational and scripted beyond belief, and their reactions to each other and to the events were barely able to be taken seriously.
If you want something to preoccupy your time for a bit then you can watch this but honestly I wouldn't expect anything more than something your friends could put together with a less than stunning hand-held.
