Life of Belle

MOVIE #6 OF THE 100 HORROR MOVIE WATCH CHALLENGE

RATING - 4.4🍿

This found footage style horror film follows the life of Belle, a young girl filming her everyday life. As Dad is on a business trip, the mother seems to be losing it and dark intentions from a dark intenty take over. The found footage is an inside look at what happened.

I give this watch 4.4 bags of 🍿 as the film just takes way too long to develop and you're stuck there just watching them live their lives. Every point where I thought something has to start happening it just makes you wait longer and when it finally gets going it just didn't do it for me. I thought at many points in the story they could of built it up very well but just was very underwhelming for me.

I'm T 🎬 and I hope you're day is full of peace and love.

As a parent, this film took me to a place that was unimaginably uncomfortable beyond all comprehension. The film itself had an incredibly good production value feel to it for something that was made with no budget. The kids were the real star of the show, the acting was amazing and my goodness was the mother incredibly freaky. Never again will I talk to a camera while on my bed!! I would easily put this film up there with exists and as above so below. I genuinely look forward to what this producer has next in the pipeline.....you 100% have a fan here. My partner although not a fan of ff films, quite comprehensibly said this film was amazing, your onto a winner here.

I enjoyed the movie and found the ending satisfying. Most FF endings leave you feeling cheated, but this one did not. There wasn't a massive M. Night Shyamalan twist, but it was still great.

One criticism is that for most of the movie, nothing scary really happened, a common issue in FF. It may apply here too. I caught only one spooky instance before the final scenes. Despite this, it contributed well to the buildup for the ending. In hindsight, the lack of activity added to the final disposition.

All in all, I recommend it. The child actors were impressive, possibly the best I've seen for their ages. They never seemed like they were pretending or acting.

Some of the best DIY Filmmaking using Found Footage I've seen in a long while. The use of the single setting and actual family was clever. The kids acting was VERY good. The little girl can handle a camera better than some pros I've worked with. The story was actually scary. Some of the blink and you miss it effects were quite good.

This is a perfect example of the up and coming DIY Filmmaking genre that I love to see. Some guy has a camera and knows a talented family and they write a story and film it and bang you've got a movie. Technology allows the average guy to make a film and get it out there to the people with out the fricken studios getting in the way.

Well done!

I've seen many horror films over the years and many found footage horror films. This one, without revealing too much, gave me literal chills at the end and made me scream somewhere in the middle. Low budget or not, this film captured every terrifying feeling of not knowing who exactly you're living with on that particular day. And especially captured the fright of pure innocence not understanding what is happening with the adults in the room. The acting is not Oscar worthy but I don't think that's what the family who made this movie were going for. Something as simple as a little girl wanting to create her own YouTube channel can accidentally hone in on the destruction of the entire family dynamic.
