Conjuring Tapes

This is one of the most horrific pieces of slop I've seen in a long time. This feels like 10 segmented, disjointed shorts that were slapped together hastily using two women watching VHS tapes. This movie feels like double the runtime and had my eyes glazed over within the first 20 minutes. Although the first two shorts had some humorous parts to them the rest of the film tries to be more serious and lean into the horror genre but fails at both. The 69 minute run time felt like 420 minutes. If you're looking for something to make you want to take your own life out of boredom and then look no further; this will get the job done. If I could have I would have stopped the movie in the theater and buried the film to save anyone else from seeing this mess.

If you liked the anthology found footage film The Christmas Tapes from a couple years back, you're almost certain to enjoy this film as well.

It's from the same filmmakers and has a similar format to that one -- a series of first-person horror vignettes introduced as tapes being watched in a frame story -- but the haunting/possession theme and the decision to shoot the wraparound outside of the found footage style makes this distinctive.

The stories themselves are all enjoyable with zero duds which is quite an accomplishment for a low budget horror anthology. Personally I enjoyed the final story set within the world of a cult the best, but to each their own.

I try hard not to be mean with my ratings. I am sure that the people who made this "movie" tried their very hardest to make a good movie on what I must presume was no budget. However, the final product was pretty boring and not at all scary. This movie did not even have one good jump scare. The people who are supposed to be possessed look like teenagers who have applied their own makeup for a Halloween party at the local high school. The actors were not good enough to make up for a very poor plot and just terrible direction and production. I have to wonder how anybody actually watched this movie and gave it a rating over a 3?

I love a horror movie and this definitely is one of the worst I've ever seen.

It had a rating of over 6 and im not sure how it got a rating this high. Unless it was 6/100 then that would make sense.

Not sure where to start.... I guess the worst bits would be the terrible acting, the terrible story line and the terrible make up for the possessed people... just awful!

Such a waste of time.

I had to turn it off after an hour because it made no sense.

It's saying I have to write more to post this review but I honesty can't think of anything else to write. I will just write random stuff so I can post this. Don't watch.
