So, directing solid, acting jolly good, dialogue/script spot on, nice bit of humour taking the mick out of the genre, all things required to make a very good movie. However, well nothing actually happens, no jumps, no gore, no blood thirsty demonic creature vowing to gut you etc. You just wish the budget could have been stretched just that little bit more to allow some sfx. If it wasn't for the positives mentioned you'd be looking at a movie with a score of 3/10, pity, but I will look for further work by the director in the future.

Yes, this really is a "B film". The acting is B level. The special effects are sparse and low budget. The script is funny enough to keep you watching. This script is definitely self-aware that it is what it is and they just roll with it. The weakest point of the film is definitely it's plot. The plot has good bones but fails wildly and hilariously in execution. It's definitely a movie that is watchable but not for any good reasons, just laughable ones.

I feel like this movie could have been good. But it's short run time and lack of ability to handle a low budget that kills it. I tried so hard not to laugh at the end but you just have to. It's that kind of movie.

Well normally a 3 star rates movie is just that, but in this case it surprised me, bit wierd bit strange but an enjoyable movie.

Hi. I'm a fan of both horror films, and the found footage/mockumentary format, and my reviews reflect that.

This wasn't as bad as some reviewers suggest. Lets just assume this isn't up for the Oscars and move on from there.

The two leads were relatively strong, particularly Jamie Tisdale. For the first half it was pretty much all on them and they did pretty well with it. Myk Watford brought some Cajun fresh air to the show.

The script was nothing blazingly original for fans of the genre, still it put its own twist on it and that's admirable.

It was nice to see Heather Langenkamp, most notably from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies, and that's where the film really finds it's footing and it's pace.

As always with these, if you're looking for something of the level of "Get Out" then you'll leave the film wanting. However, if you've enjoyed films like Hell House LLC, or Savageland then you'll probably find enough in this movie to keep entertained and engaged, even though the quality doesn't necessarily rise to the level of those films.

On the whole, there were enough interesting hooks and character business to keep my attention and entertain me for the runtime of the film.

Is this the first time I notice the potential a movie wastes? So many horrors manage to develop a better scrip than you'd expect for a low budget production yet completely fail to deliver. Why? In my opinion so far is because sometimes, like here, the subject is overused, and has little room to wiggle. In all sincerity what more could they have covered, what is there uncharted?

I did like the premise sure, but ever since I've seen Grave Encounters, a movie that managed to shock a little through its very end, which I found to be the cherry on top, movies like this, found footage or not, are quite bound to respect the very same rules the ones before them did. Sure, I wanted it to be good, and to have fun with it, perhaps even to experience a few scares, but excepting the self satire, it brought nothing new.

It is definitely not a bad movie, but most likely you have seen it before under other names, so if you just have to check this one out as well, do it at your own risk and time. You have been warned.

Cheers!
