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.

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.
Another film cashing in on the found footage haunted sanatorium craze. This is one is passable with a few solid scares, a lot of the usual gimmicks and occassionally a few interesting set ups. Worth a watch if you're a fan of the subgenre and interested in a scare or two to pass the time.
Otherwise, not much, if anything, new here. Paranormal and found footage movies need to come up with something new and/or original instead of the same tired tropes. I've seen "reality" shows more engaging. I watched it through to the end hoping to not be disappointed. It's not a terrible watch for a low-budget flick but, I would only recommend it if you are in need of something to occupy your time or background noise.
Why does IMDB require so many characters?! Wouldn't 250 be just as efficient? I'm not sure what else to say so, I'm just trying to meet the minimum requirement for this review..

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.
