#Screamers

The movie has some positives: the final 20-25 minutes are actually good. In this part of the movie, they travel to Rochester and investigate the snuff film that they received. There are beautiful shots of Upstate NY scenery when they're on the road, and the moments where they enter the villain's home are suspenseful. I also liked the main characters, who legitimacy seemed like a group of chill friends.

The big problem is that the movie takes far too long to get going. As I said, the final 20-25 minutes are cool, but the movie is roughly 90 minutes. In the beginning, the movie wastes a ton of time talking about their company and introducing the characters. The filmmakers could've easily condensed this part. Accordingly, I also feel the ending came abruptly: they could've stretched out the final section a little more.

This is actually a pretty good found footage movie. Pretty good acting, a very mysterious storyline, and some jump scares. Though "screamer" videos are very outdated and stupid, this movie takes something everyone thinks little of and has never thought deep into, and gives it a scary back story and spin. The film's plot revolves around a website and the website similar to youtube. Videos can be submitted to the site by viewers by one of two ways. One way gsthers all their info and the other, apparently, does not. A mysterious video is added anonymously and it garners the attention of the crew quickly . The website director ends up talking on the phone with the girl in the video in an attempt to find out where it came from. After getting nowhere, and after a long, but key to the story, first and second act, the group sets out to unveil the origin of the footage and to prove the authenticity of it. The director being very excited and oblivious, is aided by his weary crew into the dark of the night. The setup is creepy and the locations used are goodand scary. The house of Tara is extremely scary. The movie sort of has that raw sort of feeling that U only see in certain found footage films such as v/h/s, blair witch, hooked up, etc. Only intellectual horror fans and die hard found footage fans will know what im talking about. The movie is slow paced but doesn't feel overly long. The characters are convincing enough and even kinda likeable. Good not great. Worth the watch even the buy for collectors.

Horror films often get a low rating but I enjoy them anyway. This one however I thought was utter rubbish. I jumped the first time but the rest was predictable with a boring story line. I wouldn't recommend it as it's 80 minutes if your life wasted!

Slow burning, didn't really get going, flash scares in line with title ... Kept me all the way to the end though, but ultimately left with a feeling of ... 'thats it?!' mmmmm

Okay another found footage movie that's pretty bad. I think it was aimed in the beginning somewhat at making fun of Google which had some slight amusement to it. I thought the downside of the movie was that the actions of the characters when faced with obvious dilemma are pretty illogical even for stupid people. So that made it somewhat lacking in the last 1/3 of the film.
