The Death of April

I'm not going to lie I went in not expecting much and that's exactly what I got. Not complete disappointment, there was some creepy scenes but mostly it was just watching some preppy rich girl waste everything her daddy gave her for drinking and boys. The whole ghost thing was layered so thinly on top it just didn't feel like the two were a coherent story. The ending was only more frustrating as it was so abruptly executed and that was it. If you want something tame then here you go. But honestly it was a pretty plain forgettable flick I wouldn't bother watching twice. Sucks cause the movie poster looked epic. Btw....next time don't get your actor for a mom character from a porno flick....

Even though this movie is a low-budget found-footage style film, I really hoped there would be a redeemable bit to it. Sadly there was not. The acting is passable I suppose and the story is OK. It starts slow and ends almost as slowly as it began. No shocks or scares and not even an ounce of suspense in the whole movie. I believe there can still be life found in this genre and that has been evident in films such as "Afflicted" and "The Borderlands." Having a large budget does not equal a better horror film. A good story and gripping atmosphere can lift a possible mediocre movie into the area of one of the best found-footage horror films. It's a small group because most of them are garbage.

People don't want to help the girls is the part that bothered me the most and everyone wanted to ignore everything and that isn't anything that people in your life do.

As far as the genera that this is set in, it could have been put in two or three different categories. The more I watched this the more I wanted to stop only for fact that people would not try to help look into the issues and just wanted to brush her off. That is not a good story or a good feeling and it can causes issues. That could be what the writer wanted to show but it could have been better if she had one person that wanted to help her research it.

After watching all of it, you thoughts can go a couple ways in what the story is behind it all, ghost, mental breakdown, or both.

I would like to post my thoughts but don't want to spoil the movie for anyone.

But I say watch it make you own decision and tell us about it in your perspective.

TLDR It's bad

Writing this as a huge Found Footage fan.

I couldn't make it longer than halfway through before I turned it off and fell asleep. It was boring and incredibly cringy.

Lead actress was annoying, real annoying. I think she may suffer from down syndrome or something?

Ontop of that, nothing much happens, it's just her acting like a clown in front of a web camera like she probably does in rl, and it cuts back to her lame family talking about how great a kid she was.....it does this for literally 45 minutes. Occasionally a door would slowly open in the background and they even brought out the tired and predictable ouiji board we've seen in every. Single. Horror movie.

There's much better found footage out there, so if you're looking for a good one, skip this.

Yes it is quite similar to Paranormal Activity in many ways, and yes it is clearly low budget but as a big fan of this genre and always looking for new films, I really enjoyed this new possession film, good twist, good ending, decent acting, leaves a lot of questions but in a good way. Ignore the bad reviews but I would concedd it is for those of us who are connoisseurs of the genre who can't get enough of this type of film (and yes we are out here!). The main actress is a little annoying and very reminiscent of Lena Dunham in the Girls series. There are no pleasing some people. I hope there is a follow up.
