It's hard to find a good found footage movie. For every Grave Encounters (2011) and Hell House LLC (2015) out there, there's a myriad of absolute trash to wade through. Strange Frequencies - Taiwan Killer Hospital (2024) isn't a bad effort, the acting is fine, the dark, long abandoned hospital setting has a definite creep factor, and it goes some way to deliver an actual bit of backstory behind the hospital's dark past.
There isn't really anything new here, and the pacing is a bit off at times during its first act, but it does a pretty good job with what it serves up, and it's an entertaining enough 90 minutes, especially for found footage horror fans. Overall, it's not bad at all.

Normally it's the other way round and you tell people to ignore all the negative reviews a movie garners. In this case though, the critics would appear to have watched a completely different movie from what I've just suffered through.
What's positive about Leave The World Behind? Well the acting is good, especially Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke. Some nice set pieces too.
What's negative about Leave The World Behind? Pretty much everything else. How a movie about an apocalyptic event can be this boring almost defys logic. While I wasn't expecting to see The Day After Tomorrow style oblivion, I still expected way more than what we actually get.
If your idea of a good movie is a bunch of people droning on for what feels like an absolute age, then you'll probably get a lot out of this. But I fear many people may zone out before the halfway mark. I certainly did.
