Blackwood Evil

Blackwood Evil (2000 ), WOW, only one other comment on here, that for the best.

This must have been cash in on TBWP, This is so boring, I could not get into this movie at all, there was not one second, I liked .

There was way to much arguments going on, for most of the movie, saying the same thing over and over again, I Stopped watching, it at just before the hour mark.

Nothing happen in the first 52 minutes at all, just talking about thinks that have happened in the past.

The acting was really bad.

1 out of 10

The worst thing about this movie is the lead woman. She's a manipulative, immature, passive-aggressive, unprofessional, and under rehearsed character. She presents her lines for the "documentary" portion of the "movie" like a high schooler who just threw their presentation together at lunchtime. She badgers the antagonistic property owner in a really just annoying way. He somehow comes across as more likeable than her and I don't think that's what they were going for.

All issues aside with choppy storytelling, terrible sound quality, and noooothing happening for most of the movie and when things did happen, it mostly made no sense, I wanted a ghost to jump out and slap that lady so bad.

Gave it 2 stars because I did watch until the end so there's that.

I watched this movie on POVhorror and the 4:3 vhs transfer style add a lot to the atmosphere. I usually grade Found Footage movies on 4 catagories, so I will do so here:

1. Characters: 7 The main characters, a cameraman and the reporter have a chemistry that you would expect from a duo thats used to working together. There interactions are fun and seem realistic and I liked them both. One problem is an early antagonistic character, the owner of a property. This man is supposed to be annoying and derails the documentary, but I feel that because he gets so much lines and screentime, which I feel also frustrates the movie itself.

2. Setting: 7 Rural USA, this starts as a great setting, but the biggest part of this movie plays out in a dilapidated building, at night. The VHS quailty does give it all an extra grimy look, which goes great with the mood.

3. Reason to keep filming: 7 It's a documentary that's trying to capture the paranormal, so this works.

4. Story: 7 This movie is from the year 2000. Just a year after the Blair Witch Project. Sure, a lot of this type of story is cliche by now, but I think this is a solid effort, specially because of when it was made.

Surely a good watch for FF nuts like me!

The idea for this movie was great. Eddie, the cemetery caretaker and the set-up guy who was on screen for just a few moments, gave pretty good performances. Entirely too much dialogue, mostly arguing. The reporter, I have no words for how bad her performance was. The psychic did the best she could with who and what she had to work with. And the role of the not so nice fellow was taken way too far. I'm usually a fan of Found Footage films. If some of the dialogue had been cut and a better actress found for the reporter character, this might have been much better.

It would of been good if there wasnt so much jane fox.yelling..bloody and gorey but is it real or not?could not get me to get involved to find it oput so im left wondering.
