    Offensively bad, but with a great (although expected) twist

    One of the worst films I have ever seen, this movie is riddled with horrible decisions from the onset. The lead actress is horrendous and has no acting ability or talent. Her English is hindered by her strong Ukrainian accent, and made understanding what she said a chore. She delivered her lines with the tact of a community theater understudy, and had no semblance of an understanding in basic theatrical emoting. She was the absolute worst thing about this, by far.

    The rest of the cast was either distant or oblivious, and the supporting characters were even more horrendous than the lead, although (thankfully) they get very limited screen time. The cinematography is a joke, and the script is inane. It comes of as "my first screenplay" levels of bad, although I don't think that the people responsible did a single rewrite or edit to the final "script".

    The most offensive thing about this movie has got to be the over abundance of shaky cam. I grew nauseous with each passing minute, and by the end of the movie I was reaching for the Dramamine. It was so freaking bad, I barely made it to the credits without wanting to blow my lunch all over my new carpet.

    Overall, this film is a bag of garbage left out on a hot summer day after a drunk girl vomited all over it the night before. It is so bad, that I am actively making the effort to erase it from my mind. It does not deserve a single iota of space in my memory.

    "A" for effort, but this was pretty bad.

    Found Footage is my favorite and I always love seeing what independent directors are able to accomplish with almost no budget. This had some interesting ideas and the twist is pretty unique! I can see what it was going for, but it just didn't work for me.

    One reviewer stated that people missed the point and that this is actually a drama. Maybe so... But if so, its not a very good one. You know the type of person that thinks they are super deep, but gives you secondhand cringe all the time? This is the movie equivalent of that person. It thinks it has something really important to say, but really its pretty surface level and nothing you haven't read on some cheesy Facebook post by your best friends mom.

    No scares, no entertainment value, and nothing new to say. Skip it.

    Slightly less painful than having a screwdriver jammed in your ear

    I didn't expect anything from this movie going in and it was still awful. The acting was awful even for a low budget production like this. (which i can only assume consisted of whatever loose change the director found in his pocket that day). The plot is basically a rip off of the Blair Witch Project. (minus the scares, the believably and any semblance of fun.) And the plot twist at the end can be seen from a mile away. The only reason i don't give this movie 1/10 is because some parts were so bad they made me laugh.

    Another bad mothman movie

    I gave this movie a 2 instead of a 1 because the female lead was quite good. The male lead should give up acting because he is the worst actor I've ever seen. His outbursts were annoying at best. I will look for other movies with the female lead but do avoid this one

    I saw it.. I saw it

    Poor acting, weak story, and not scary! The only plus side to the movie was the unexpected twist at the end.

    FAQ1

    • How, as the synopsis states, can these characters "travel to the European countryside" when they are already, obviously, European?
