21 Days

The acting done by the main two characters were definitely off putting to me they did not do this film Justice, I personally did not like this film at all, the storyline was all over the place and did not make any sense to me, they kept trying to protrude the scenes and trying for a better outcome but it did not succeed in the end for me.

This film did not look even remotely realistic in any sense, nothing intense happened this entire film it just kept getting worse and worse, the ending wasn't all too bad of an outcome but it doesn't get interesting until the very end which no one likes about a film. Their chemistry they had was about the only thing that kept this film a float.

The fact that I rented this from the local library for free is the only reason I'm not mad I had to fast forward to the last 30 minutes for entertainment. I watched the first 30 minutes and I couldn't take it anymore. They tried hard but yet again I ran into the fact I can't give it an A for effort. Nothing new here just the same old doors closing, blankets moving and a device going off etc... I was able to understand the end without watching the middle of the movie. It just felt like a lot of filler to me. If this was the first found footage I would have seen (this is far from my first and I typically enjoy these films) I might have liked it better. But in the end it was boring and you can find plenty more found footage movies that are a lot more worth it. I feel for you if you paid money for this I really do. The box got me with this one. I really had hopes for it and nope...

If it wasn't for the three pretty young faces filling the screen, there would be nothing salvagable at all about this film. Terrible over-acting, along with shoddy dialogue and a propensity for profanity from the main character seem to the be the only strengths to this piece.

It feels like the producers were aiming for a Blair Witch meets Paranormal Activity product, but in the end they fell woefully short of either benchmark. There were quite literally no scares, and nothing at all to make you feel any sort of compassion for the characters.

The sole redeeming quality of this film was the inclusion of Whitney Rose Pynn, who at least brought some real emotion to the story.

But as has been stated in other reviews, as is the case with all of these found-footage films, in the end the whole mess degenerates into a cacophony of shaking images, screaming voices layered over one another, and nothing you can really see to tell you what is actually happening.

High time for the found footage craze to be over. This should be the nail in that coffin.

Found footage film of yet another crew of people investigating a reported haunted house. The twist here is that no one has ever stayed in this house for 21 days. The explanation for this: it takes 21 day for the soul to be possessed. (This isn't a spoiler as it is explained early in the film.) Thus starts the expedition of being sealed in the house for 21 days. Wow! and what a 21 days it was. Spotty depiction of the 21 days as they randomly jump days. Not even typical scares as this film tried to create jump scares without any jumps. Ho hum. I don't really understand why this was even attempted to be made into a film as the concept wasn't a big departure and they did so very little with it. You can do much better than this film.

This is a little bit of the paranormal activity MARKED ONES film as well as that movie itself and GRAVE ENCOUNTERS. I gave the filmmaker credit for creating a backstory for the film so that it is a complete story instead of some jump scares and then the camera drops.

I know many filmmakers make their start in the found footage genre since it's relatively cheap to film in. So, if you're going to do a FF, then make the effort to make it different. In this case, the film succeeds. Locked in a haunted house for 21 days with cameras everywhere, how does an object move from the barn to the house? Creepy...but ultimately, why? Just the spirits/demons playing tricks and if so, on us or the characters? Nothing is really made of this event other than "WTF?" If it kept occurring, with more dangerous items being transported, it would have added a nice twist. Other than that, we get the doors closing, furniture jumping about, etc. All good stuff, always creepy, but we've seen it before.

The problem with ALL found footage is the last ten minutes. People screaming and cross talking over themselves. It's always a mess and this is no different. The good this is there is a coda that explains a bit more so your last image isn't a dropped camera.

There are some terrific ideas here that I wish had been explored more--they were different and could have taken the film in a different direction. But I liked it and enjoyed my time with it!
