Portal

With the cast, I was hoping this film would be, at the very least, decent. It was not. The storyline is whack. It's actually really pretty bad. It's funny though because I get the feeling all the actors thought they were making a gem. It's not. It's better left unwatched or immediately forgotten.

Well normally a 3 star rates movie is just that, but in this case it surprised me, bit wierd bit strange but an enjoyable movie.

So, directing solid, acting jolly good, dialogue/script spot on, nice bit of humour taking the mick out of the genre, all things required to make a very good movie. However, well nothing actually happens, no jumps, no gore, no blood thirsty demonic creature vowing to gut you etc. You just wish the budget could have been stretched just that little bit more to allow some sfx. If it wasn't for the positives mentioned you'd be looking at a movie with a score of 3/10, pity, but I will look for further work by the director in the future.

Is this the first time I notice the potential a movie wastes? So many horrors manage to develop a better scrip than you'd expect for a low budget production yet completely fail to deliver. Why? In my opinion so far is because sometimes, like here, the subject is overused, and has little room to wiggle. In all sincerity what more could they have covered, what is there uncharted?

I did like the premise sure, but ever since I've seen Grave Encounters, a movie that managed to shock a little through its very end, which I found to be the cherry on top, movies like this, found footage or not, are quite bound to respect the very same rules the ones before them did. Sure, I wanted it to be good, and to have fun with it, perhaps even to experience a few scares, but excepting the self satire, it brought nothing new.

It is definitely not a bad movie, but most likely you have seen it before under other names, so if you just have to check this one out as well, do it at your own risk and time. You have been warned.

Cheers!

I wish I could write something really good at this movie as the beginning was only the better part of this film, once it reaches the middle and towards the end, it kinda went downhill pretty fast., The actors are average as not one of them was the weak link acting wise, I guess they should have made it more scarier like those in the NUN / CONJURING special effects.,

anyways, I won't recommend this to someone who wants to be truly scared, I fell asleep towards the end, Yes, it's that boring!

a 4/10 for me...+ 1 for the actors performance and +1 for the beginning, it had potential
