The Haunting of Grady Farm

Nothing new to see here. Typical found footage. The plot is dumber than most, the cast is a little better than some. It is neither terrible nor good. It is a time passer, no more and no less.

I have never ever written a review for a movie before - whether good or bad, but this movie was such a waste of money and time that I feel morally obligated to warn people from the path I took. Don't. Just don't. I don't care if you like watching 'bad' movies, I do too! But this feels like a 'made in college for my semester project' movie - Terrible acting, unrealistic reactions to what should be moving moments, the first half could be (and should have been) cut out, there is no suspense what-so ever. I was surprise to see in the credits that four people worked on this movie...I can only assume it was done during a weekend binger because the movie makes zero sense. None.

Even bad movies - I can usually enjoy something. Even movies with terrible acting - I can usually enjoy something. This is just crap.

Boring retread of this type of film. Stock characters, stupid decisions, and then all the warnings ignored. I'm not even certain what the supernatural creatures were, but they were hidden and secretive. So, completely not scary. Dull, slow, and tepid. Pass.

Far worse than Blair witch, though same concept: shaking the camera excessively doesn't equate to excitement or drama. Crummy camera handling that induces nausea, a garbage storyline and plot, e.t.c. total waste of time to watch. When something finally happens, the picture gets sketchy, fools constantly scream incoherently, and the camera shakes until the audience has to look away to avoid feeling sick.

It wasn't particularly good or memorable, but for a tiny budget 69 minute found footage film, it wasn't boring. The tension was decent enough, though too much of the "spooky" elements were telegraphed hard in the form of random camera static and distortion.

On top of all that, the apparent "sluagh" things were almost completely invisible. Given the tiny budget, this might've been necessary but it made it almost impossible to tell what was going on sometimes, including in some of the motion sensor camera cutaways.

Ultimately it's not a film I would seriously recommend, as it's just ultimately too light on content to be worth much
