    Homemade found footage film is really bad

    THE FINAL PROJECT is another homemade found footage horror in which absolutely nothing happens other than a bunch of shaky camera work and a whole lot of bad acting and screaming. The storyline, if it can be described as such, involves a bunch of students who decide to visit a haunted plantation for a school project. On arrival they interview a bunch of locations, arrive on location...and you can guess the rest.

    Very little happens in terms of incident in this film. There's no gore, danger, or suspense, just a lot of reacting to stuff the viewer isn't involved with. About one person gets killed on screen and the rest is just a noisy blur. This found footage film is definitely at the lower end of the scale with an almost entire lack of characterisation and near-constant screaming that makes it a very difficult watch. It's about on par with Michael Rooker's THE LOST EPISODE in terms of quality, i.e. at the very bottom of the barrel.

    Unfortunately very poorly done

    Could have been entertaining, but even for a found footage film the production was horrible.

    You expect some shaky POV shots in the action scenes, but even in the character development portion, apparently no one knows how to use a camera. The viewer sees mostly chopped off heads and crotch shots or weird angles while the camera is moving and shaking as they climb stairs, pan over empty rooms, and open doors.

    The audio for the film also failed, it is so low or the speakers are partially off screen, forcing you to turn on the captions and crank up the volume to try to hear them. It was a major fail.

    The establishing characters portion went on practically forever and yet gave no reason to care about them.

    When they finally make it to their documentary location (almost halfway through) then 90% of the action occurs off screen or from the victims POV camera which is either pointing the wrong way, on the fritz or pitch black.

    I don't often say this, but this movie isn't worth your time.

    I gave up sitting down to watch this film and used it as background noise to cleaned house instead.

    Stars are given based on my personal enjoyment of the film and plot.

    1 - Storyline dragged on too long. I got bored and stopped watching or fast forwarded to the end.

    If you love movies where literally nothing happens...

    ...then this is your lucky day! A bunch of college students acting like total immature pricks and fighting about nothing go to a "haunted" mansion where literally nothing is scary, supernatural or haunted, and...record it all! Yay! Really, if you enjoy movies where nothing happens for 95% of the time, then you will LOVE this one!

    Found footage horror movie makers need to learn to include horror throughout the movie, not just in the last 30-secone frantic nonsense. Seriously, this movie is SO boring that you would enjoy watching grass grow more. Do NOT waste any money on watching this. If it is free, still avoid it.

    "Found footage" ""horror"" "movie" that you should avoid at all costs.

    This is my first review ever about any film, but this is so bad the word has to go out to anyone who might accidentally would waste any time on this movie. No, just don't.

    I've seen numerous found footage horror films, from the very good ones like the Blair Witch Project, REC, Grave Encounters to the worst ones, like Evidence (2012) or Unaware (2010). This one is the new low.

    The movie has not even one redeeming quality. This is supposed to be a documentary of students for some kind of project for their class, but there is zero structure or even the illusion of any effort to make this anything other than random screaming at nothing. Acting is non existent, listening to dialogues makes you want to mute the whole movie, but then again what you see is equally as horrendous as what you hear. The whole supposed hounted house part of the movie consists of nothing other than running around screaming while pointless arguments makes the sequences longer, sometimes 2-4 minutes longer while nothing happens. No CGI, no monsters, no nothing.

    Don't watch this. The 10 and 9 star reviews are paid ones, Im sure of it.

    Worst movie

    This was honestly the worst movie I have ever seen. The acting poor quality, the special effects were bad. I watched it hoping it was gonna be good and was very disappointed. The kills didn't make any sense, the plot line didn't make any sense.
