Their confessions slowly unveil the truth behind, not only the deaths, the booth as well. The dark, twisty, dialogue-driven and emotionally-complex mystery is entirely confined to the video confessional.

    Not horror, not a thriller. It's just... not.

    Yet another movie premise squandered away on a silly plot, bad acting and a twist you can see coming from a mile away. This one rehashed dull threads of movies past with a cast of fresh "pretty people" all somehow connected to the deaths of two people on campus. Complete with God awful camera angles that don't match the scene, with each actor turning to face each camera as they switch between shots. Nothing more than a lazy revenge mystery that doesn't even qualify as "mystery" as it is blatantly obvious within the first 20 minutes who is behind it all. Hard pass.

    I kinda liked it

    You guys I dont understand why there is so much hate on this movie. I mean i understand its not the best I/you have ever seen but the plot is in my opinion really awesome. There are good plot twists, fun and good actors. They did get too dramatic too fast though. If you really wanna watch thriller though dont choose this movie. The trailer is kinda misleading.

    Ah, Film School At It's Finest

    First rule of film school is don't make your movie about students at a film school. I gave it a 3 generous stars for the cool concept, sound, and set design, but the story is... well, another story. Really annoying characters who get too dramatic too fast. Everything felt contrived. The title cards in between scenes were unnecessary and read like they were written by child. Second rule of film school is show don't tell. If the filmmakers are reading this, please don't be discouraged. You had a cool concept, and I hope you can learn from this and apply it to your next movie.

    First Ever Review

    Not sure why this was a Shudder Exclusive because there is no horror in the film whatsoever. It's not a thriller. It's a pile of garbage. I've watched almost every horror film that the above average horror fan can watch in my 30 years, and this is not only the worst horror film I've seen, it's the worst film.

    I've been reading reviews on films for about 8 years now on IMDB to see what people say before I watch it. Wish I had done that for this one. Heed the reviews or you too will lose 86 boring minutes of your life.

    I felt I needed to review this...

    After reading the reviews I felt like I needed to leave a review. I didn't hate this movie. It's not as bad as all the reviews say it is. I'll even say I enjoyed it. Lots of twists, which I like in a movie. I don't understand all the hate.
