Before Someone Gets Hurt

This is by far the most played out setup of horror movies today. A group of young paranormal investigators go to a haunted house to try and capture on film the existence of the supernatural. You'll never guess what happens. Actually, you already have.

The formula goes: cheesy jumpscare, everybody makes excuses for what's happening, eventually everything settles down, someone dies, and repeat. There is absolutely nothing new here. All of the deaths occur in the same fashion with no originality at all. There are zero scares to speak of. ALL of the "special effects" are nothing more than camera movements, cut-aways, bad makeup, and filters. The acting is barely passable, there is no character development, and the story is completely nonsensical.

Do not waste your time on this one. You have already seen the better and equally bad versions of this movie and there's no need going back for more. I get that these are easy movies to make, but come on. This is getting really old.

I really can't say too much about the plot as I only managed to endure 22 minutes of this movie. The premise is - they're about to do a paranormal investigation within a house, which has more than grizzly past, for a show called 'Ghost Investigations' (inspired title, huh!?!). Although they're supposed to be semi-professionals (who have the opportunity to have their show produced on the SyFy channel) they seem to set up THE WORST cameras ever! These cameras capture not a colour image, no, but a delightful blue hue (in broad daylight) with lovely wavy interference for added crappiness. But that's not my main gripe, every time there is a switch from camera to camera they've added a static glitch effect with a sharp cutting static noise, EVERY FRICKIN' TIME and even then some when nothing is happening! This, for me, made it unwatchable.

Imagine a movie worse than blairwitch! Waste of time, trying too hard be scary

Seriously people, no one is paying you to tear down these movies. It's a B movie, so you know what to expect going in. This movie was entertaining enough to watch, laugh, jump a couple of times and stop and say hey, didn't he just? Oh well, just watch the movie. This isn't a school project for you to grade. You obviously love dissecting and tearing down the movie. So, they gave you plenty of fodder for that, so let's face it, you enjoyed it 😆.

Sadly...I cannot give this movie a 1...because I've seen much worse. The only thing I liked about this movie was the opening song as the film started. It's just such a typical story line...Ghost hunters go into a house....cannot get out by any means and are picked off one by one. The only other haunted house story line that beats this is the "Couple loses a child and moves into a house in the isolated country which just happens to be haunted." God...that is the most pounded in haunted house plot line EVER. But, like I mentioned earlier...this isn't the worst I've ever seen. That being said, don't watch it. It's not worth the time. Peace.
