The Before Time

The story was decent, it even had a lesson. The acting kept it from being a great movie. There was overacting and underacting. The actors where good enough to make you hate some characters personalities. My biggest complaint was the lack of immersion. The bad acting kept pushing me out of the world the movie created.

I ran across this DVD on Amazon and gave it a chance. I have probably watched every found footage film out there, this one caught my attention because of its "original" premise.

It's hard to find a fresh idea on a sub genre that is already worn out, so I will give credit to the filmmakers. Last film that i watched that slightly reminded me this one was The Hills Have Eyes..

The production value is good for a low-budget movie, the cinematography and special effects mixed with visual effects were done well. The script starts slow but it builds up and in the last act there's some effective jump scares and atmosphere. The acting is not great but OK.

Curious to see what it could have been done with a bigger budget on this one.

I give this film a gracious "2" for originality.

Personally, I am very leery of a film that begins with titles that try to legitimize its premise by by informing the audience that the footage was "found". Really? the idea, although original at the outset, was so poorly crafted that it lost credibility quite soon. The performances were adequate, but the ensuing telling of the tale...SPOILER... I was left feeling taken advantage of. I would not recommend this to anyone who doesn't have a CD they'd rather listen to for 30 minutes while they watch agonized actors trying to portray real emotions in silence.

All in all, a disappointing effort, but it kept 2nd class filmmakers out of trouble for the duration of the project.

Great movie but the women just looking down at the camera most of the time!!!!!! And lot of just weird creepy music them in the background as well!!!!!!!!!

Traditions of the Navajo Traditions and advise to any kind of realm of belief. Ones beliefs and stories that are told are tales of glory. I'm thinking if you like a perfect scare than this is your type of movie because it follows with the joys of historical and mind blowing experience.
