This movie has to have one of the worst ending ever. I was expecting more from it.

I did hit FF a few times. Typical "girlfriend never been camping" and bad stuff is gonna happen story. Same scenario, interchangeable antagonists, insert actors here. Can't say I liked it and can't say I didn't. Useful as background distraction when doing something else.

It's hard to believe how atrociously this film derails in the last section, being up to that point actually quite entertaining. First we follow two social-media stars who have a seemingly perfect relationship and are going camping for their first anniversary. We see all this through the vlogs they film of themselves. Then we are shown another set of 'found-footage' clips by a couple of documentarians who want to prove the dangers of exposing private details online. They choose the mentioned couple as the target of their project and start following them.

I won't spoil anything, but some of the things that happen halfway in the film are creepy and mysterious, so it interests the viewer to see how it all unfolds in the end. It turns out there is no scary reveal or resolution. What happens is completely stupid and random, not to mention horribly executed. It surely is unexpected, but it's terrible. For most of the film the acting is impressive and the characters feel real, until this last part. It almost feels like they're mocking the audience, getting increasingly ridiculous toward the end. They deliver a reflective message regarding social media in the final shot but even the shot itself is so ludicrous it can't be taken seriously. A waste of what could have been a cool flick.

What was that really worst movie ever dont waist ur time

AKA Followed. Mate of mine lent me this on DVD, promising a "great" movie. Well, we obviously have different ideas as to the definition of that word. An annoyingly perfect Ken & Barbie social media couple, who film their every move - hence this is a found footage movie (yawn)- go camping in the woods. Not surprisingly this predictably turns out to be a bad idea. It does then turn into a found footage within a found footage movie, some credit for that. Sadly this film is incredibly slow & boring, despite a fairly short running time. The characters have no depth, they all just got on my nerves, and the end descends into something ridiculously bad. And if it's gore that you are after forget it.
