The Death of April

This is basically if Paranormal Activity, a movie that already had zero budget, had it's budget completely slashed and made about 15 years too late.

Megan is a little interesting, but aside from that the movie is just really dull. Just imagine Paranormal Activity but even less happens. The twist is this is made to look like a documentary, but this has already been done to death and done better. If this were made 10-15 years ago I might say watch it, but the paranormal activity movies have been done to death and the found footage documentaries have been done to death now.

There's just not really much of a reason to watch this movie.

When I was first watching this movie, I thought that it was going to be fairly interesting. Average acting, it could have been better and a good plot. The thing that ruined it for me was that nobody believed her even after seeing everything that had been happening. What kind of parent does not go visit their daughter when she first moves away? That was another thing that ruined it for me. The brother just so happens to meet a girl that's into the paranormal? The scene where the sister and girlfriend were having a seance, she had an episode of breathing difficulty, vase breaks, that scene was over the top and not needed.

TLDR It's bad

Writing this as a huge Found Footage fan.

I couldn't make it longer than halfway through before I turned it off and fell asleep. It was boring and incredibly cringy.

Lead actress was annoying, real annoying. I think she may suffer from down syndrome or something?

Ontop of that, nothing much happens, it's just her acting like a clown in front of a web camera like she probably does in rl, and it cuts back to her lame family talking about how great a kid she was.....it does this for literally 45 minutes. Occasionally a door would slowly open in the background and they even brought out the tired and predictable ouiji board we've seen in every. Single. Horror movie.

There's much better found footage out there, so if you're looking for a good one, skip this.

If you love supposed horror movies in which nothing happens in 99% of the movie and nothing is scary, then boy, is this your lucky day! My goodness. Alright, the one positive is that the acting was good. The characters were believable for the most part.

The movie is going for the "was it paranormal or psychological?" trope, which is fine, and which was done well in "The Exorcism of Emily Rose". It was definitely not done well in this film.

The acting was good, but the writing was not great. It was so, so boring that I found myself looking at my phone in many parts. I paid to watch it, so I gave it a chance, but man, it was boring.

Filmmakers, especially horror ones, need to understand that building atmosphere, character development, and all that stuff is great and needed, but unless scary things actually happen, then you are going to lose the audience.

Sorry to be negative. It is not the worst film ever, but it is incredibly boring.

I'm not going to lie I went in not expecting much and that's exactly what I got. Not complete disappointment, there was some creepy scenes but mostly it was just watching some preppy rich girl waste everything her daddy gave her for drinking and boys. The whole ghost thing was layered so thinly on top it just didn't feel like the two were a coherent story. The ending was only more frustrating as it was so abruptly executed and that was it. If you want something tame then here you go. But honestly it was a pretty plain forgettable flick I wouldn't bother watching twice. Sucks cause the movie poster looked epic. Btw....next time don't get your actor for a mom character from a porno flick....
