Untitled Horror Movie

All the nauseating camera motion of a found footage film in the making of a found footage film. Top that off with a reminder of all the Zoom meetings I've been forced to sit through during a pandemic, and I just couldn't like this film.

The character build up was thin, but that was a godsend because the characters were shallow. I didn't want to know any more about them than what was presented early on.

The concept is something everyone who owns a phone has thought of. It's only the most narcissistic of us that would even try to pull it off. It dates back to 2008 when "SMS Sugar Man" was shot entirely on an iPhone.

I'm sure there's an audience for this film, but I found myself browsing Reddit half way through.

This is a basic review for a basic film. If you have the patience to watch a talking head horror film...this one is a very good choice.

The actors were good and fairly believable. While I didn't quite die of laughter - there were some really amusing-to-funny bits, snarky lines, and reactions. The characters are supposed to be a little pretentious and over the top. I suspect that you aren't supposed to love any of them. Special effects? Please note this is a webcam movie...the special effects are the bare minimum and not the focus. A viewer should realize this going in. The special effects that were featured were good. It's not high art or remotely groundbreaking...but entertaining enough to recommend to horror fans. It gets compared to "Host" (2020). This film is much lighter and, honestly, more fun. Would be great as the second film of a double feature with Host. The highest praise I can give it is this: I may even watch it again.

I like how they reveal some of the Holywood "secrets", which might be publicly known, but most of us never really thought about them deeply. The casual talking style was nice, as was the sudden mention of botox(which for some reason cracked me up). It all felt more natural than most conversations in movies, and I really appreciate it. They obviously were overreacting at times, but it seemed like they could contain it within reasonable limits. The real quality of the movie isn't the best, the plot is shaky and almost missing, but the acting is more than good. It was spooky, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The little jabs at the whole politicizing of the movie industry were on point, mostly. I can see why a lot of people were upset after watching it. Well, I am not, and it wasn't bad at all.

It was fun and there was just something about it that made me want to watch it till the end. I mean this was shot at home so don't bring up expectations that you would have from a movie typically shot on sets. They are just different wavelengths. But, the characters are stupid and i think that is on purpose, I get it. I really liked it especially Claire Holt and Darren Barnet... It had some parts that made me chuckle a little...and the fact it was shot on phone and zoom, well that's just great how it turned out to be...You should give it a try if you are looking for something light, not really serious...

8/10 - between all the references that made me chuckle, the cool and fresh premise, and genuinely good acting, I was in a way surprised and very much delighted in this film that highlights some creativity in such a dark and unconventional time for the world.
