If that guy wanted to be a real doc maker find another camera man. It must have been that long earring he was wearing.
No, sorry just heard it while the camera was on him.
Could have been better but it wasn't.
I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this.
The acting was good. That helped.
If this was found footage, why were there impossible camera shots?
Just pick one format please.
It's not bad. It's certainly not good. It's a slightly below average found footage film, strictly for us found footage fans. No real emotional connections developed. Very thin plot. I'd only recommend it if you (like me) have run out of FF horror movies. If found footage/shaky cam horror isn't for you, please just avoid the movie and spare us that stereotypical whining review. You won't like it. Promise. Dig found footage? Meh, you could do worse.
*Side note: message me any under the radar FF movies worth seeing. I'm running low. If you need suggestions, hit me up*

I didn't find the acting bad, but the rest is absolute trash. I was actually angry that i wasted time on this. I was warned from the beginning though and i watched it anyway, as the protagonist's blatant exposition pretty well gave away the whole movie. There were scenes that didn't advance the plot, the cinematography was bad, and it didn't build suspense well nor execute a payoff for it. I dearly hope this is the last summoning.
I like found footage and forgive a lot of stuff normally. I don't expect the lighting to be great and the sound to be perfect. The acting just has to be better than student film acting and if they can pull off some scares, then it normally wins me over. But man, how did they put this out with those sound issues? Every time the camera was moving, there was a crackling noise. Were they using an empty Cheetos bag as a windscreen for the microphone? It was so distracting. Was going to give it a 7 but that noise issue dropped it down a whole 3 points for me. And if I were a hyper vigilant person, it probably would have dropped it to a 1.
