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!

This is a shockingly poor film. I spent the whole film hoping it would go somewhere but it really doesn't. Awful camcorder footage and awful acting, makes for a terrible film.

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.

Solely for found-footage diehards who enjoy urban legends and the like. I'm on my second time watching, and starting to think I fell asleep the first time. There's quite a bit of obnoxious overacting with some of the leads. The sound is terrible; very bad acoustics in some scenes, lots of characters talking over each other so nobody can be understood. There's a decent mystery overshadowed by the overcaffeinated dialogue, and it would be a lot better if it were more like an hour long because there's a lot of improvised 'filler' stuff that only erodes one's interest quickly. You can skip about the first ten minutes and won't miss anything, and every time something interesting happens you can fast-forward for another 5-10 minutes and, once again, miss nothing important.

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.
