Classroom 6

I must confess to initially being quite fond of found footage movies, and the odd gem occasionally still pops up. Unfortunately this isn't one of them and joins growing list of misfires in the genre. The premise is quite interesting, but the execution fails to deliver. Even at a relatively short 76 minutes, it seemed too long. When the back story is outlined at the beginning of the movie I really was expecting something above average. However there was very little in the rest of the film that capitalised, or even referred to, this back story. There is basically just a lot of running around screaming and extremely annoying shaky, out of focus hand held shots. Some mostly unexplained arguments and confrontation between the main characters, but very little in the way of actual action. The ending is predictable, and has been done so much better in other movies. There really is nothing new to see here. Next.

I am usually a fan of found-footage for a few key reasons; 1. The acting is usually on par to many big-time Hollywood productions.

2. The use of practical effects over CGI makes things look more realistic.

This movie has nothing, and I mean NOTHING, redeemable, to the point where I am wondering if I should contact the creators and ask for my time back from watching their abortion. The actors are not competent enough to carry the film, and end up being more annoying than you would care to admit. Seriously, I wanted the whole cast dead within the first 35 minutes.

The story has been done ad nauseam, and so much better by more talented individuals. There are no special effects to speak of, and the few moments where anything happens are so few and far between that you begin to wonder if this movie was just an excuse for some people to be seen some twisted vanity project.

The worst offender is the neck-beard holding the camera; he was just an insufferable tool, and the constant shaking of his Tourette's like camera work actually made me nauseous, to the point of vomiting. Very rarely have I had this sensation of physically being ill from the movement of the camera in a film, and this a$$hole succeeded in that respect.

The moral of this travesty; some people are not cut out to write, direct or star in a film, and the public should make it their duty to constantly remind them of the fact. DO NOT give this movie your precious time. You will regret every grueling moment of it.

If I could leave no stars I would. The camera man must have never held a camera in his life. No idea how to handle nor work a camera. I got a migraine from attempting to watch the constant shakey, bad angles. Constant extreme close ups and then pans out then back in. Odd angles of up nose shots, crotch shots, arm shots. Nothing happens for more than half the movie, pointless recordings of conversations about nothing. Only entertaining actor was the hispanic guy who gave spurts of comical comments. A whole movie with bad acting, worse camera man ever in the world, story line just dragged on and on. No imagination what so ever put into this. An actual documentary would have been way more interesting than this garbage. Please who ever created this whole movie continue working a regular 9-5 and don't ever attempt making a movie again. Spare us your lack of talent.

You'll still think this is below average, at best. Positives: The acting was good, especially the actor playing the psychic. Decent premise. Negatives: Incredibly boring. Not remotely scary and not even a jump scare. The extent of the "scares" are the ghost/demon/whatever it's supposed to be (because we never see it) tossing back a tennis ball and yanking a couple desks around. I've seen hundreds of these movies, many of which I imagine had a similar budget to this. At least these other movies attempted (though likely failed) to scare you. This doesn't even bother. I found myself thinking, ok so here we have a crew member tossing a ball into the hallway and here we have some other crew members yanking desks that they tied a rope to. Neat.

If this was a college project or an exercise in copying the Blair witch for uni then for an amateur its not a bad attempt. If its a commercial release then shame on you. Its a poor mans rip-off of the original blair witch project. the acting is poor, the casting is poor and the scares are a really rubbish attempt at hiding the fact you are copying other better films. Wouldn't waste my hour and half if i were you
