The Screaming Silent

I wanted to raise the score a bit due to the really good fx, which don't look like cgi, and the little homages to better films, except for the one at the end which is just cringeworthy, but that's the entire problem with this movie, you can admire some aspects at the same time you are grimacing at others. Too much time wasted on setup, rushed editing, illogical character arcs and actions and far too many unanswered questions and opportunities ruins what could have been a good story, but I did watch to the end and yes, I agree, the horror, the horror, at wasted potential.

You watch it go round and round, tumble tumble, flip flop..and nothing really happens. The acting was more Blair Witch than Blair Witch, and I got up halfway through to make some dinner and by the time I got back still nothing had happened. There's this vague gist of something underdeveloped in the plot that breaches the surface every so often...but like the enticing whiff of fried onions on a burger stand, it just doesn't cut the mustard.

I am not sure I've ever been bored as much from a found footage film before. That statement says a lot. For an hour we watch a neurotic filmmaker, his friend/producer, and a cameraman walk around Australia trying to convince an average at best actress to accept a role in a ridiculous at best horror film. They talk, they walk, we wait for something to happen. It doesn't. Then....they travel, and things start getting weird. Slowly. Agonizingly slowly. From there, it just gets silly. It does NOT, however, become entertaining. Ever.

Wow this must be the first Aussie movie i have had to give a bad review for. This movie is just another shakey bore-cam where nothing much happens until about 10 minutes from the end and even then its all just puerile nonsense.

The story or plot what there is of it holds zero interest, the acting is terrible but it does have some merits in the sound effects/music and some decent scenery as do most Aussie movies but that is about it!

I was just going to delete it after i read the first few reviews and wish I had now - I have just wasted an hour and a half just so that you do not waste yours!

This is a disappointing and clichéd effort. It reminds me of "The Blair Witch Project" with hand-held camera footage and an incoherent script that seems to be put together by a group of college students; a 20 year old format that was good for a few movies.

This movie gets VERY tedious very quickly, there is too much arguing among themselves to the point of it being annoying. The characters are flat and poorly defined, I didn't care if they lived or died or if they got through to a safe and/or happy ending. At 1 hour and 47 minutes, it's an unremarkable, forgettable movie.

I give this 2/10, but if you like this type of movie, you may enjoy it. :)
