    Clickety Click w open- mouth breather!

    If you can get through this found footage film w a constant clickity crackle sound and heavy breathing you would probably rate this a two. Maybe not. Just awful. Bad actors have to say everything they're thinking and doing so us morons understand the story. Bad over-acting, bad directing, repeated story w no budget and you get a really boring movie. Move on folks. Nothing to see here...

    The crackling!!!!

    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.

    Wrong

    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.

    Crackle Crackle Crackle GRRRRRRRR

    My 2 year old nephew could have recorded this film better! There is CONSTANT crackling noise! But from WHAT? Cameras don't make that much noise. Loose screws and bolts in the actors head? It is SO distracting that you can't make it through the film without yelling at your tv.
