I can understand the low reviews. This is not for everyone. First you have to have a taste for cinema and small details(why the hell is there an upside down chair shown hanging on the wall in many scenes;I think its a metaphor for ghosts and maybe even a metaphor for cinema, things that in real life you interact with and touch but like the upside down chair which is now only for show and not to be interacted with beyond looking at. Understanding this metaphor is key to understanding the film on a deeper level. Also you have to really love art house horror and enjoy more cerebral horror as well. It does have its ghost movie stuff in it it but not like something as boisterous as the conjuring which I liked as well. The sound is creepy as heck. The narration and subtle distortion in the narration is chilling. The way the story is told is creepy. Its just great cinema. And is beautiful to look at. I mean the cinematography is so intense in this. Especially when everything goes black and you just see the ghost. Like i said watch this if you love art house and especially art house horror. If you are a casual fan of film or even a lightweight movie buff most likely you won't want to see something like this, but then again maybe you will. My mom is a lightweight movie buff and she really liked it.

If you like arthouse films and thrillers then you been sleeping on this one. Watch it right now. Its like a bizarro art house rambo movie. Very enigmatic.

This movie is bizarre and abstract. The horror imagery once it gets going is some of the best you will find in the found footage genre and far and away more frightening than most conventional horror films. It has its shortcomings and is uneven. The entire scene with the three guys showing up unannounced could have been replaced with character development as its really poorly done and unnecessary. But dont let that deter you because this movie cranks the horror into overdrive hahaha. Sure its not the witch or the wailing. Its low budget and unpolished. But if you like unexplained expressionistic horror this is for you. Not sure what the is going on except for maybe a demon or vampire mutant. Who knows. Its art house horror and it works if you are into these kind of movies.
