The Final Project

Yet another supposedly real found footage film made by a group of student. absolutely nothing happens in this film no ghost no acting not much of anything.

It follows the usual cliche, scary building, supposedly haunted, interview the town, spend the night. OK good im down with that plenty of indie films have followed the exact same formula and been ok some even great this how ever is not one of them.

1st point i want to mention is the camera quality is complete trash. i understand its a low budget horror but in 2016 even mobile phones have superior quality, in the darker scene's i genuinely couldn't make out what was going on or who was talking to who, but a part of this was i couldn't care less about any of the characters, which brings me to point number 2.

The acting just came across forced and lazy, i found myself switching off and not paying attention. my eyes just seemed to glaze over as i forced myself to finish the film to its end. you've got all the usual typecasts in this, the flirty, the smart one the geeky one the macho one, like a really REALLY!! bad set of power rangers which at this point i would rather watch.

And number 3 the sound quality is just horrendous a lot of static and popping sounds but that,s preferable to the consistent screaming every 2 minutes, and that's literally the scariest thing in this film is a girl screaming that's it.

The final project is not worth the watch its lazy it doesn't try and its just bad, i would rather put toothpicks under my toenails and kick the wall than have to watch this again.

...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.

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.

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.

This movie didn't make the effort and neither will I. 30 minutes of watching fake interviews, "college students" eating pizza, "college students" sitting in class, and then having the fakest game of "never have I ever" before they even get to the haunted house. I turned it off at the 30 minute mark when I realized how much of my time the director was willing to waste just to set up yet another found-footage haunted house movie.
