Potential Story Poor Execution

Okay I couldn't watch this movie for more than 20 minutes because every scare that they try to do is just pulling someone into the darkness it's really dumb it's one of the cheapest effects you could come up with it's not scary there's no atmosphere they have potential for atmosphere but they never pull it off they rush it they open the oven too soon and the cake Falls before it even gets cooking but it has so much potential to be an interesting story and there's even potential for a meaningful story with the relationship of the girlfriend who died in the car accident and the use of VR there's so much potential but it's always wasted and there's such a there's no scares it's really poorly made and I understand why it has a 3.7 I rated a 3 I couldn't even watch more than 20 minutes because they really are so bad at it's trying to scare people and I understand they had a very low budget but they don't even really make an effort at all and there's no creativity in the scares whatsoever so I would have to recommend people give this one a complete pass.

This is a movie that was made with more passion than cash and it does show at times. The special effects were good and the music and photography worked. The acting however was uneven at best and downright flat at worst.

I like independent movies, some of them are really great and it is a refreshing change from slick Hollywood movies. This was watchable, so extra point for that. It was just that the story was a little over over the place. I think a tighter script may have helped and the acting needed to be a bit better.

There were a few great scares and there were a few tense moments, all up it was a good effort for a low budget flick.

"It was a first time for them, so no negative feedback!" "It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad, either." "Clearly it was low budget." Yes, yes, all of the typical butthurt fake reviews from select cast and crew members. None by any who were paid to give a positive review, because the producers certainly couldn't afford it.

This had to have been made by tech nerds, for tech nerds, to try and make everyone think that tech nerds are actually really cool, and not complete losers. The acting is terrible, the plot makes no sense, the effects and attempted scares are cheap and predictable, and all of the characters are awful people. If you can relate to them, you need to reflect on your life.

The director seemed to ban three things from this movie: Sense, talent, and masculinity.

It was slow on the draw but I found it very exciting it kept my interest and that is hard for especially for me cuz I have seen a ton tons of horror movies and paranormal movies but this one really did keep my interest and I enjoyed it I wish there would be a sequel to it where the computer that they started up with the machine that they did is now gone viral all over the world and now spirits that were in the factory are now going through the computer system and now causing havoc in other people's homes when they get the app cuz the app has gone viral that would be awesome even more just an idea.

You can glean the whole plot from the synopsis and the fine reviews posted here.

So I'll _try_ to add something a bit different.

As soon as the movie opens, we get right into the core of the concept. And *Kudos* to the director and screen writer for not dithering about with useless filler, meaningless " romance" and boring back stories.

Our protagonist stumbles upon some kind of vintage 1950's technological device in an old neighbors' garage. This oddly beautiful device has a _very_ cool Steampunk aesthetic- old toggle switches, heat sinks, VU meters and old radio tubes. Ostensibly, it appears to be a radar-like device. It's purpose is unclear- but not for long!

On the work table in front of the device, there's a very authentic, old-timey NASA tech manual with well worn, yellowed pages. NASA? Oh, I love this already. These are important little details because they enhance the visual aesthetic, provide a time frame for when the device was built and most importantly, what the machine does. It's a *Ghost Finder!* and it works! NASA tech and Ghosts? I love it!

Naturally, these kids being computer tech whizzes, turn this device into an APP for their phones... Don't ask. They simply did it. Go along with it.

*Cool, techy supernatural mayhem ensues.* I was not disappointed, as I loved the concept and how well they produced a quality film on a shoe string budget. Terrific young actors. Dramatic and moody scene illumination. Tight dialogue.

What's not to love?
