There's Something in the Shadows

No more found footage. No more idiots wandering the woods. No more lousy actors improvising conversation. No more films made with zero budget. No more films with monsters you don't even see because they couldn't afford even a cheap Halloween costume.

Just stop.

This film brings absolutely nothing new to the table. It feels incredibly cheap and amateurish throughout. It's people in the woods and they hear things in the night. They film the darkness over and over again. Some of them start missing. They bicker. And then it's over.

If you want to make a Blair Witch clone, you better come up with a new twist or some way to make people want to suspend disbelief. There was never a moment when I wanted to imagine this was happening for real. I was watching idiots improvise a movie.

I'm a massive fan of the found footage genre and this did not disappoint. Scary , unnerving and edge if your seat stuff ! Thoroughly enjoyed it .

When you have no story, no plot and no idea where a movie is going I guess this what you get. At least we got to see some guys camping. This movie has completely nothing, bigboot, really? Grasping for straws.

Apart from wasting 70% of the film on guys chatting in the woods, the film was starting to go somewhere until the last 15 min. Even with no budget, they could have done so much more to make it effective. Plus they tried very hard not to be able to show what was stalking them when basically everyone has a camera. The worst of the amateur hour filmmaking was the finale scene sequence. Made no sense and was completely stupid.

When are they going to stop making this chuffing film. This lot didn't even try, they just filmed themselves camping beside Loch Ness, talking about Paranormal Portals that spit out werewolves ghosts and aliens, wandering around with a Poundland EMF meter and eventually, seemingly days after I started watching they get banjoed one at a time by McBigfoot, until the nerve shredding finale where the last remaining "foodbag" gets dragged off camera into the now mandatory 'Sierra Sounds' soundtrack. Setting this in Scotland removes all the mysticism surrounding Bigfoot, giving him ginger hair and a kilt is right up there with fitting a sunroof to a submarine. Can't wait for the sequal, where our shower of neckrests go in search of The Giant Ice Beaver of The Sahara. Absolute mince.
