Preacher-6

There are some good moments and a couple of good scares, but I had to FFWD through a *lot* of talking to get there.

Its more than ok to have a found footage be shorter than 90 minutes and this one would probably be great at about 70.

Instead we have rambling and repetitive dialogue, our heroes running past the same rock 3 times on 3 minutes, and a final 10 minutes that screeches the movie to a halt.

Less is more in found footage and a better editor would have made this great instead of the clunker of a third act. When we get the twist, there's 10 more minutes of talking this thing to death.

Still, a few good scares, just don't be afraid to skip ahead.

I think there's about 20 minutes of actual film in this Camp Blood entry. As well as mining a lot of footage from the previous entry, this flick has more walking montages than Lord of the Rings.

At first I was wondering why there was so much filler at the beginning (our heroine goes cd shopping for 5+ minutes) but that sort of editing happens over and over.

I couldn't stop laughing at the bold choice to shoot at night in the woods with only the camera mounted light. They could have saved a lot of shooting time if they filmed the final 20 minutes in a blacked out room instead of on location.

The inept filmmaking is a joy to watch. And at 69 minutes, it is a nice way to spend 1/4 of an evening of movies.

This is a frustrating film. The horror film part is well acted, tense, and has good twists. But for whatever reason, there is an annoying reality show element that feels like it was clumsily added later.

The reality show-within-a-movie is a bunch of horrible social media folks and doesn't connect to the real movie in any additive way. Paris Hilton almost makes it win some irony points, but it never lands.

Keep your finger on FFWD and you can still get a decent experience out of this.

I'd love to see a 70-ish minute cut. Call it "18 & Over, The Good Parts Edition". I think I'll do a fanedit and come back to it in a few years.
