June 9

"June 9". A group of friends from school film themselves doing pranks in their local area, upping the ante each time. The date is shown to be June 4 when the movie opens, and, even after a few very scary encounters, the ring leader of the group pushes the friends further and further down the rabbit hole of risk, inching slowly towards the inevitable "June 9", where their story culminates to a rip roaring demise for all.

After waiting for 6 years for this movie to get a proper release, I have finally added it to my ever growing collection of horror and genre films. This is maybe one of the rarest found footage films out there and its definitely one to own. Support indie filmmakers. With that being said, "June 9" plays out just as I'd thought. This movie was filmed in 2008 so it has that old school feel to it a bit which only helps the authenticity of the film. Done on a very low budget, its still basically a success, though this movie does move at a slow pace. I recommend this movie to found footage fans and collectors because otherwise, it may be ragged on.

A group of a**holes act like a**holes for 75 minutes, then in the last 10 minutes, reap their karma. Roll credits.

It's really that simple, yet it drags on seemingly forever, because there's nothing but a handheld camera filming the a**holes "pranking" victims that one knows nothing about other than that they are victimized by the a**holes. Oh, except that some of the victims are kinda creepy, as they're seen as filmed (by the a**holes) in their homes, standing at attention and staring blankly at nothing in the middle of the night. No explanation for this behavior to be found.

No character or plot development; absolutely no sympathetic characters; the only emotion it stirred in me with its "shocking" ending was relief: It's finally over!

If there's a point to this exercise in tedium, it certainly eluded me.

I cant even rate this. My heart is still beating fast.

I had always planned to watch 'June 9' on June 9th, but every year on that date I forget and so I finally just decided to watch it here in mid January. The film was not great I'm sad to say.

Man were these some tough characters to get onside with. Some movies just fail to make their characters likeable. This film on the other hand seemed to go out of its way to make them as unlikeable as possible. A strange choice considering it then needs us to care about their fate a little while later in the film.

There are actually some good moments in this film, however they are way too few and far between. The film takes forever to get going and by the time it does it is hard to care any longer. A generous 5/10.

A great found footage movie. The post-credit scene adds context to an already dark scenario. It is a slow burn, and the characters are not likeable at all, but if you're a horror fan, you know what that means. I had low expectations going in so I was pleasantly surprised. You're going to want to let this ending sit with you for a while. After you do, you'll realize the true horror of it all.
