Clever in parts, but it gives itself away pretty much from the get go.

Interesting enough to warrant a watch, but it isn't very satisfying.

I love B horror movies but this was not great. Not even close to the body count I expect in a horror. Definitely not a lot of content. I won't watch it again..

The actors were ok,the filming was ok, but nothing happened until the end and it was kind of predictable. For people to give this 10 stars,what are you thinking? It wasn't even scary it was like a drama.

Don't waste your precious time

I am an avid "found footage" guru and this one is rubbish.

Anyone who rates this as a good movie compared to films like Hell House (brilliant) doesn't know a thing about scary movies

This is a very good so called found footage film (yeah film)! Why you ask? Most importantly the actors are real actors and this makes this movie really stand out in the genre. It also has a believable story and brings us a little bit behind the scenes of making this type of movie. Another thing that I really liked is that the whole time when the cameras is rolling there's a actual real reason for it. If you're in to found footage this is a must see! Lastly don't forget that it's also horror comedy and should be viewed as such.

FPR is a terrific movie from two first-time writer/director/actors who are showing considerable maturity given their age and lack of previous film experience. FPR combines humor and suspense along with a fun premise leaving the audience wondering what they are watching up until the very end. At 71 minutes, it is the perfect length for someone such as I whose ADHD would have me looking at email at the 120 minute mark. Like a delicious array of tapas, FPR serves up a tasty visual and entertaining blend of fun, thrill, and enjoyment.

Two brothers want to make a found footage film. They need an actor to play the murderous caretaker. The film unfolds quietly as annoyance builds between the brothers and frustrations careen to end production. Ultimately a three person drama that ends with a movie being made, just not necessarily what was intended.

Just watched this on Amazon Prime and have to say it wasn't bad at all. The Acting is decent and the groundskeeper is genuinely unsettling. Just goes to show that you don't need a big budget for a movie to make an impact. Well done all.

Frazier Park Recut is a surprisingly fresh take on the seemingly done-to-death found footage movie genre, using the style to improve the film, rather than as a cop-out.

It's obvious, for example, that the cinematography was more thought out that the simple decision make a shaky cam, found footage movie. The way the characters move and hold the camera is very specifically related to how they acting, and what's happening in the moment. There aren't really any moments of it being difficult to watch, which is impressive considering the amount of movement the hand-held camera experienced. In general, the camera's movement and placement always feels to the audience's benefit, rather than their detriment.

Frazier Park certainly benefits from actors that are capable of pulling of a believable combination of funny, creepy, and realistic characters. The chemistry between the three main actors is clear, and while there are brief occasions of slightly flat dialogue, there's no real issue present in the acting or characters. Overall, the characters communicate in a way that feels smooth, interesting, and real.

At some points, the Frazier Park does lean on some common tropes and clichés, but not so much that it ruins the experience. It's very self-aware of many of these tropes, made clear through the film-within-a- film aspect. Frazier Park, much to it's own advantage, never speaks down to the audience. There's no instances of the audience really feeling like something's being rubbed in their face, as if they couldn't figure it out on their own. Of course, this is, on occasion, as a result of the speaking-to-the-camera style of found footage, but at the very least, it doesn't take the viewer out of the experience.

This is one of the features that is a must see. Tyler Schnabel broke perspective layers and delivered an experience that took magical realism into the dark abyss of the human psyche. Not only was the film engaging the shift in perspective Within experience of viewing demonstrated originality, And very believable performances.

A MUST SEE for aspiring filmmakers out there. Deliciously META. Equal parts FUNNY and CREEPY. A FOUND FOOTAGE film whose premise actually MAKES SENSE.

This low-budget first feature from Tyler Schnabel and Sam Hanover will draw you in with compelling, natural acting and dialogue and will keep you genuinely UNSETTLED with its perfect blend of SURPRISES and slow burning TENSION.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing this film at the Fort Worth Indie Film Showcase, where it deservedly won Best Feature (non-Texas) and Best Horror/Thriller/Suspense. I thought the film's sense of place was great, the characters were immediately very believable, the sound design was great, and the way the film cuts back and forth between "real life" and the horror film the characters are making is wonderful. It's a very economical, focused, and effective story that works perfectly within a low-budget context.

FPR will be making the rounds at many more film festivals, I'm sure. It would probably do pretty well on a streaming service like Netflix, I'd imagine. Either way, this seems like a real door-opening kind of film for the guys who made it, so do keep an eye out for what's next from them in the years to come. In the meantime, definitely go see FRAZIER PARK RECUT!

Frazier Park Recut keeps you guessing with twists and turns when you least expect it. As the story unfolds the the lines between film and reality become more and more blurred leaving your head spinning as you search for answers. The writing is smart and efficient. Newcomers Sam Hanover and Tyler Schnabel deliver strong performances. I would highly recommend this thriller as it will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more.

I love this film so much, my favourite film of all time

A genuinely disturbing story filmed in earnest, with actors that carry their own (especially the increasingly odd antagonist and groundskeeper). If you aren't one for cheap jump scares or gratuitous gore, this found film delivers simple, believable storytelling.
