I went into this open minded but skeptical due to inconsistent reviews. When I finished watching it I was pretty satisfied.
The strongpoint of this movie is the story. It takes a Netflix documentary on a serial killer and puts a supernatural spin in it. The other thing that I really liked is when the supernatural goes public, rather than just involving a specific group or family, to me that makes it seem more real and believable. The acting is a subpar at times but not terrible. Some of the comments from the detectives didn't seem like a natural reaction at times or something a detective would say. Perhaps a little more research in the role or just less emotion would have made it seem more authentic. But if youre a fan of found footage like I am you really don't go into these type of films with to high expectations. The ending was decent and eerie and was left open for a sequel which I will be looking forward to in the future.

You really have to lower your standards when watching these found footage movies so I don't expect much. This movie is no different than most of the others I've seen on Tubi except a little worse. Beside the obvious, the thing that makes this particular movie almost unbearable to watch at times is the main characters whining and crying throughout the movie. I assume hes trying to sell his fear and being scared by over acting. Something youre not surprised by in a low budget movie with low budget actors. Overall, not the worsed FF movie I've ever seen but definitely not recommended unless you're a devoted fan of the genre.
Thanks to Cena this movie is a worth a watch. Some of the other actors had a one or two lines that were kind of funny but Cena steals the show proving he can do comedy as well as anyone and certainly better than his wrestling counterpart The Rock. Some of the jokes fall short or even seem a little lame but Cena did a good job keeping this interesting and made me want to keep watching. I will say that Zac Efron wasn't too bad either and he's come along way since that Hairspray movie proving he can do more than just sing. Don't go in with high expectations and you won't be disappointed. 6 stars.
