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.

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.

The "fragile" structure of the UFO... hahaha, the military report didn't fully convey the magnitude of the spacecraft; the "Saucer" was something else... a fantastic film, with incredible production design. The film explodes with breathtaking speed. Oren Peli's participation is very important, leaving an indelible mark with his atmosphere of psychological tension, so characteristic of him, making the work of these young directors stand out. Let's remember that the incredible, the unimaginable, and beyond all logic arrives unannounced on any ordinary, boring day. Highly recommended. Don't take too seriously the opinions of people here who don't break away from their traditional movie-watching schemes. See it!
Another one of those found footage movies , I have been looking forward to this movie since the trailer came out.
The trailer seem great however this as got to be one the BIGGEST Disappointment's Ever! (I love most found footage movies.
This as got to be the most boring-est and dullest movie I have ever sat thought, there nothing really happens until hour into the movie.
Little things were like over in an flash and then panic and then it's calm down for again until last five minutes of the movie, where the movie start going and of course ends!
The scenes was okay but nothing great at all as there were no suspense in this movie at all, not sure what to thing of the Alien.
I felt I seen this done before and better in Alien Abduction: The McPherson Tape (Which was not great but still miles better then this movie)
And what hell was the point of that end of Credit scene, Blue sky!
The acting was wooden at times by lead Male, the Girl scream was good!
One of the worst and dullest of them Found footage movies (I have seen more then few)
3/10 Very, Very, VERY! Poor!
