Not as bad as people say,but definitely not too good)
The idea is interesting,story too,acting is decent.I would say,that it just feels underdeveloped,like there should be more of explanation or conclusion.But not a bad one time watch.
I watch a lot of these found footage movies and I can appreciate the slow burn style, but this movie takes it to an extreme. It feels like they got to the end of the movie and realized they forgot to put in anything scary, so they hit us with a series of the same, lazy jump scares. The first jump scare in the beginning of the movie totally got me, but my immediate concern was "is this all this movie is gonna have?" Sadly, it was.
Nothing is horrible about it, which may have actually made it interesting. Hard pass on this one.

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!
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.

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.
