I actually quite liked it! The average Imdb rating should really be higher.
I thought this was actually pretty good for a found footage sort of film. Story was reasonable, acting was reasonable. Had some good scares. I think it's current imdb rating is fairly harsh and think its score should at the very least be a rating of 5 or above. I don't know what the people who gave this movie a really low rating were expecting... yes I admit, it doesn't have the same production value as the Ten Commandments or Oppenheimer or some movie like that, but it isnt the type of movie that needs to. I sometimes think people expect too much from these movies.
Anyway I thought they did a really good job. Well done guys.

Not bad.
It's been done before, Grave Encounters springs to mind, but it's not bad for a low budget indie.
I've seen worse, a lot worse, I've seen better, much better, this sits nicely in the middle ground, a reasonable plot, some scares, I little claret, worth a watch in my humble opinion.
Missed potential
This film could have had a x or higher rating if they had put more scares in the film.
My partner and I were ying through the movie which part could have had a scary part in it.
We both thought the same thing that this film was okay and it had a lot of missed opportunities.
If I was the film director, next time I would put in more scare end e and try and get some people, not family and friends who would say it's good and have them tech and ask them their opinions.
This is the way for the director to go.
Only a four as I found this film could have been a lot, lot better.
Great Found Footage Low Budget Horror
There are a lot of found footage horrors these days, and this isn't the best but is very far from the worst.
The actors do a pretty decent job on what must have been a hard shoot, there is a great set and pretty well executed scares without trying to show too much.
It's not the most original but does a decent job on a very low budget.
Worth a watch in the dark over Halloween.

Nothing new but a satisfying ending for horror fans
Truly nothing new in the found footage genre. After all these years it's getting to seem like they all blend together. This movie starts out like many before and is a bit monotonous at times as well as over dramatic. However, as the movie builds there are some quite good scenes to satisfy both the found footage fans and horror fans alike. This especially goes for the ending.
Did you know
- Goofs(at around 55 mins) The character who's doing the talking in front of the camera is demonstrating how the motion sensor works if anything should pass by it (an alarm sounds). But when the camera guy enters the room passing through the motion sensor, no alarm sounds.
