I Am ZoZo

I was intrigued by the premise of this and with a score of 8.6 I had to check it out. Right off the bat, the acting is terrible and the characters cliché. Despite this, I kept watching waiting for something scary to happen. I dozed off shortly after the Ouija board came out. The only thing scary about this movie is the time I wasted before deciding I couldn't watch it anymore.

As a lifelong fan of the horror genre, I have had my hopes dashed innumerable times by cheesy, cliché', non-scary movies. It's disheartening. So what if this movie was shot on super 8? Content this bad would stink on any format. Delve into the band Mars Volta and their experience with a Ouija board. It's far more interesting.

Haven't watched a more trashy movie like this. It's the worst! Don't what it!

If you believe that such a movie can in any way be spoiled (it can't) then know that this review contains spoilers at the bottom.

I wish I could give this a 0 rather than the minimum 1 star.

I don't even understand why it's classified as "Horror, Thriller", as it contains no horror and no thrills. Also no suspense, no scares, no plot twists, and no special effects of any kind...

The *presumed* "evil" (what?) in the movie is simply suggested, and absolutely nothing of any kind happens.

If you watched this without knowing the title, genre or synopsis, you would come to the conclusion that you're watching a group of people filming themselves while on a weekend trip (to a remote cabin, of course) where they get so drunk they start scaring themselves after using a Ouija board.

In case you're still wondering: definitely. no. horror OR thriller.

The only blood you see here comes when one of the characters cleans a fish before cooking it; there's no violence of any form, nobody dies (on camera) nobody gets as much as injured.

The acting is as bad as it comes, the directing is awful, and you just won't believe how bloody silly the ending is.

It's also filmed in the style of - and with the unsteady hand of - a "found tape" movie, however the actors never interact with whoever is holding the camera or acknowledge their presence, which makes the experience just weird and unlikely from the get go.

Don't bother watching it, you'd regret it ==== "spoilers" after this===

Reason breaks down at the end, when one of the protagonists, revealed to be in an asylum (and playing the cello) says:

"BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BOARD? NO-ONE CAN FIND IT"

to which another character (glimpsed briefly at the beginning of the movie but never introduced, for the love of zozo) replies:

"I'm here, I'M GOING TO TAKE THE BOARD WITH ME"

... so, yeah, not all that difficult to find was it?

1st, psychiatric institutions will absolutely not allow you to keep an object (or be in a situation, if at all avoidable) that causes you anxiety or fear, so the board would be an absolute no-no.

2nd, I've yet to see a psych hospital that allows you to play a musical instrument (she's not even supervised by staff), but the setting is American, so they might, in Europe forget it.

The concept was intriguing, and when we read the reviews we figured it was worth a shot! However, the reviews stating it's "excellent" and a "must see" had to have been written by the production company or the actors. I will give credit to the one who said it was eerie. This movie had a lot of build and a fair amount of potential. Unfortunately the characters were, as one reviewer put it "cliche" and there was a lot of build to nothing. The movie ends as abruptly as it begins, no premise, and only a veil of closure. The attempt at character building sort of trails off immediately, only to pick up clumsily in the middle of the movie, at a point where it seems like they were just trying to throw in filler, or some clumsy bridge to tie the fumbling opening scenes and clumsy ending together. All in all, this would be a complete waste of your time to watch, unless of course you have insomnia.

I haven't written a review for a few years but I just couldn't let this piece of offensive garbage off without expressing how awful this 'movie' is.

A word of warning; in the UK this has been renamed 'Is anyone There' -presumably to deflect casual browsers doing a quick check on their mobile devices at the store.

The acting is non-existent; the actors are unable to convey any emotion and the whole miserable effort feels worse than a bunch of high-schoolers on their first school play read-through.

The camera operator at least manages to point the lens in the general direction of the action but seems unable to effectively frame any shot.

The sound is recorded with what sounds like the mic right next to the camera and the camera gate sound is particularly intrusive at the quieter moments.

If the director had simply pointed the camera at a tree for 90 minutes it would have been an immeasurably better movie.

Avoid this offensively bad piece of arse-dribble at all costs And: Fop; I want my money back.
