Pretty good acting, other than that nothing memorable about it.

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.

This is a serviceable little horror flick. Released quietly last year I was initially intrigued by the trailer, the casting of Heather Lagenkamp(Nightmare on elm st.) and childhood crush Ryan Merriman (Ring 2). The movie centers around a group of paranormal investigators trying to do legit shows but on the verge of cancellation they finally discover something real and begin to regret it. The movie doesn't bring anything new to the table but it's marginally entertaining. Sadly the films best performance comes from Lagenkamp who only shows up 15 mins before the ending and still packs one hell of a scream. As for the rest of the cast they're okay. A little more imagination and development would have benefitted this but it's still not a bad way to pass the time.

3/5

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.
