Infrared

I'm guessing there was 1 writer for this movie who had no one to bounce ideas off of as far as the script goes. On top of that the lady's acting was absolutely terrible. Wes' acting however while not incredibly great was actually not bad. The script took away from his acting skills I think. A better script could've made him seem a little more authentic cause he had his moments. Usually getting into his line he was good but by the end of his line or lines he lost the ability to be called a good actor. The writer had a good idea regarding what the next setting and lines would be but it seems like he got bored half way through each scene and rushed it just to be done. My advice take your time and keep with it. Some acting was actually so good I couldn't tell it was actually a movie... had to go check because the mannerisms and lines were superbly authentic, like the lady in the coffee cup scene... super job. I'll give it 4 cause I actually watched it.

I couldn't make it through more than six minutes at a sitting. I ended up refilling my empty spice and seasoning containers and rearranging my spice rack. Ya, that was more interesting than this film.

Can't even call it a slow burn, more of a tepid leftover omelette. This film was like, a handful of folks binged watched Grave Encounters (pretty good films those two are) and Hell House LLC and every other iteration in that sub-genre and decided to toss their hat in the ring.

IMO it's a failure. Can't recommend it for any reason.. I've spent more time writing this review than I have watching the film in one sitting.

I really wanted to like this movie. Reviews seem to be all over the place. I just couldn't get into it. Absolutely nothing happens until the last fifteen minutes. And by then, I didn't care. I kept pausing it and hoping it was almost over. Wasn't scary. Wasn't creepy. Wasn't gory. Wasn't anything. I see what they were going for, but it did nothing for me.

This is basically the gist of this movie:

* two tapes are found. One is about 10 minutes, the other is rest of the movie.

* literally nothing happens in the first hour of the 2nd tape.

* things start to happen suddenly and it's great for about 2 minutes.

* villain basically spends the rest of the movie monologuing * the end

Skip this movie.

It's just a giant snooze fest of some guy trying to make a generic ghost hunter show except he's really bad at it. At one point he mentions he finds his producer and crew on craigslist and given the camera work I believe it.

Most of the entirety of the movie is just someone badly making a ghost hunter type show.

Thanks to the utter brilliance of writer/director and possible heir apparent to Steven Speilberg Tommy Wiseau, I can never see actor Greg Sestero as any character other than Mark, and I subconsciously say "oh hi Mark" when he pops up. Infrared, which Sestero also produced, really could use some Wiseau magic. As found footage "ghost hunters in an abandoned location" films go, this one is no better or worse than most. That isn't saying much. The cast is capable and tries but you can only do so much with what they've been given to work with here. It tries to literally check all the found footage cliche boxes and mostly does. It's watchable but far from memorable.
