I was so disappointed in this movie! I wanted to watch it because I love scary movies and to support Jenni Farley but I was so bummed by the end of the movie. The lighting was terrible and it consisted of the characters screaming a lot, at nothing and crying like they are scared to death. But there was nothing scary about it at all and there were no scary special effects. I was hoping it would be as entertaining as Gonjiam Asylum or even Grave Encounters but this was just lame. I hope Jenni tries again at making a scary movie because I think she is great! Hopefully this was a good learning experience for her.

Great movies are made with vision, creativity, and talent. None of which you will find here. This isn't a horror movie - it's an ego trip funded by a reality stars black card. You can tell it was made by someone who's never had to struggle, get feedback, or hear the word "no." The scariest thing here is the script, which sounds like it was written by an AI trained exclusively on perfume commercials and vape ads.

It's like someone watched Hereditary once while scrolling Instagram and thought, "Yeah, I can do that - but with more mood lighting and less talent." This isn't filmmaking. It's rich kid cosplay.

Let me start by saying that it's clear from the other reviews which people hate Jenni Farley and which people love Jersey Shore so much that they would love this movie if it was nothing more than a blank screen for the entire run-time. There's no way this film is a 9 or 10, but there also no way it's a 1 or 2.

I myself am an indie filmmaker, and I also run a film festival, and I am a judge for a few others, so I watch A LOT of movies, and this one is not terrible for someone who is writing and directing their first film.

Yes, it has a lot of flaws, but I can excuse some of them because again, first time filmmaker with what is clearly a limited budget.

The location is awesome because, let's face it, there are few things creeper than an abandoned asylum. The problem is that the film is always poorly lit. I understand that part of this is due to the found footage style of filmmaking, but there are times when it's very hard to keep up with who were following and where everyone is.

The acting level is exactly what I thought it would be and it's not nearly as bad as some of the reviews said. I've seen far worse in other indie films, some of which had much larger budgets. A couple of the cast members were actually standouts and did a good job with the material.

As far as the plot, it's fairly basic, with some turns that quite frankly I could see coming, but that's OK because the movie is not trying to be anything other than what it is.

I give Jenni Farley a lot of credit for wanting to expand beyond "Jersey Shore" with this film, and I think it's a good first step. I look forward to seeing her next project.

I would have given one star if I wasn't already a fan of JWOWW. Maybe that's wrong and maybe I will be more generous with new filmmakers in the future. She is a first time writer and director with a limited budget. But she managed to get some pretty decent talent and seems to have done ok at directing their acting. How much do light bulbs cost? They needed to figure that into the budget. Most of the movie is a black screen. There is literally nothing to see. It's not a bad story and the conversation is pretty realistic. Maybe too realistic in the sense that every word doesn't need to be heard. It needs tightening up. I am looking forward to Jenny's next project.

For a 1st attempt, B- to C movie, JWoww could have done worse. The only reason I watched it was because it was promoted on Jersey Shore. My Dad owned a video store in the 80's and 90's and this movie would receive a B- or C rating. It rates below Blair Witch and the haunted house movies that I don't even remember the name of. Good attempt as a 1st time writer/producer, but definitely a low rated movie. That's why it's free on Pluto. Jenni can do better if she is serious about this. Uncle Nino would have at least made it entertaining. So, as said on Jersey Shore, add Uncle Nino to the original cast. At least it would be funny.
