The Warning

I was lucky enough to catch an early screening of this and I was very impressed. A bitchy TV reporter returns to her hometown to shoot a pilot for a reality show investigating a local Satanic Cult. She drags her two best friends along and soon they are deep in the woods and completely out of their element.

The three leads are engaging and the mythology of the satanic cult was interesting and suitably creepy. I won't give anything away but the final act was extremely tense and genuinely had me on the edge of my seat. Good stuff! If you're a fan of found footage movies I definitely recommend it.

"The Warning" is a creepy, but fun ride that proves "You can't go back home." Summer Moore plays Taylor Skye, a bitchy TV reporter whose main goal in life is to become famous. She returns to her hometown of Manitou Springs, Colorado, once labeled "The Satanic Capital of the Western World." There she teams up with her high school sweetheart and her "wannabe" best friend to investigate an urban legend that she hopes will make her a TV celebrity. They interview a host of local weirdos and relatives of persons gone missing during the "Satanic Panic" of the late 1980's. Exploring the surrounding wilderness in search of evidence of current Satanic worship, they encounter strange happenings that lead up to a dramatic climax.

Good recipe for thrills and chills, with a dash of "campiness" and comedy. Guaranteed to keep you out of the woods after dark!

The other reviews are clearly fake, just 2/3 clicks and you can see this is the only review they've ever done, and all of them say exactly the same thing. Don't do like me who trusted the star ratings, I had to pour bleach onto my eyes to erase any traces of this film. There is no words to describe the mess it is, just a quick look at the horrible editing of the poster tells you all you need to know about the story, the acting, hell anything in it remotely trying to be considered a "movie". I have watched videos of cameras accidentally turning on that would have a better consideration than this excuse of a film. All I hope is that it was financially supported by the actors/filmmakers themselves otherwise I feel immensely sorry for the producers that thought founding this thing was a good idea. You want a warning? Here's one, do no watch this monstrosity

I mean, really? Surely if you want to make a new horror film you bring something to the table with you. Something inventive, original, creative, interesting. In short, something new. What you should not do is rearrange the leftovers of past classic horrorfests and present them as your own.

Here we have just that. Bitchy TV reporter, her dogsbody of an assistant and a cameraman proceed into the wild to track down a rumored Satanic cult. Surrounded on all sides by dangerous horror movie clichés they struggle through to the heart of darkness only to find .... but I'll leave that for you to discover. I had to suffer this tripe, now it's your turn! Best thing by far about the movie is the delightful Tiffany Joy Williams. Great looks and a capable actress, this girl could go a long way. I'm looking forward to seeing her again in films that allow her to better show her talents.

I really enjoyed this film. I'm from Colorado & heard stories in the 1980s about this area. I'm not a big found footage fan but was surprised liked it. Heard some of the buzz in CO for the film & many of the incidents in the film are taken from interviews of real people. Humorous & not gory (which I appreciate). I'd call it a "Light Horror" b/c the topic is eerie.
