Invoked

Being a fan of the Found Footage gene I have had to sit through some abysmal tripe, but this bilge must be close to the worst, the only saving grace of this disaster is the hotness of the female leads, the rest is nonsense, tropes abound in this turd of film, shot for some reason in near darkness, chills, scares virtually zero apart from the fact this garbage ever got a release.

A film that lacks any form of substance is going to get a very brief review from me. This is another found footage film, a genre which I totally disapprove of.

I can't even think of anything to say in a review as there really isn't anything to point out in the movie other than how crap it is. This movie is an hour and half of shaky camera work and screaming with all the actors arguing over the top of each other non stop. Its painfully frustrating.

Its unforgivably awful. Think of all the time, effort and money the cast and crew could have been investing into other recreational activities instead of giving birth to this frightful abomination of celluloid.

Why am I even reviewing this movie? Why am I giving it any more attention that I already did by falling into the trap of watching it!?

I'd rather watch a drunk leprechaun singing Danny Boy than sit through anything as awful as Invoked again.

When are film makers going to get the message that crappy amateur cam films are just not all that entertaining? Its not, however, just the horrible cam work that makes this Irish film a flop.

The storyline is incredibly hackneyed. Predictably horny teens out for a nights boozing and debauchery, who start meddling with other worldly Quija board style supernatural nonsense at a creepy remote house with predictable results. A head trauma patient could see whats coming, but sadly our future fast food industry workers, have no idea.

So are there any redeeming aspects to this film? Well, to be fair, the acting is reasonable and consistent throughout. Sadly, however, any talent that may be on offer is buried beneath the general horribleness of this film. Two out of ten from me.

As soon as you meet the main characters their personality becomes apparent. Personality is singular because they all have the same one: annoying grade-school child. from the start of the movie they are constantly talking, playing stupid jokes and laughing at butts several times.

The plot is not surprising in any way. If you've seen any ghost story plot this one is not much different. The only difference between this and a ghost story is the character development they borrowed from slashers, by having the characters annoy each other as well as the audience as well as getting drunk and high which never should be mistaken for characterization. This movie was agonizing and the only reason why I watched it all is because I never ended a movie early before.

It looked promising at first , but I lost interest half way through and the CONSTANT screaming and yelling was infuriating ,especially from the female actors. I always get frustrated when people in horror movies do that I end up shouting at the screen because of it 🤣

It's just a typical movie like all the others using camera footage.

I normally like these type of movies but it wasn't for me also the ending oh my gosh!!!

No wonder it was shot in only 3 days but I get there's limited budgeting in some movies.

But still it could of been better it was so disappointing hence me only giving it 2 stars.
