While away on business I need to occupy my time and film screenings are a great one. I managed to watch this little gem during something called the creepy crypt or something to that effect. It's one of those found footage things and after seeing several good reviews online I was quite excited when leaving my hotel room to go and see it. The crowd were lively, the location was a bit cramp but okay but the movie was terrible. I wasn't going to leave a review but the creators are very vocal about putting reviews on here and/or redbox so I indulge. It's a dark gloomy film with no character its all been done before and I don't understand why people make these movies. Found footage is dead, its been done time and time again and needs a rest.
To summarize it's not as bad as some of the stuff my hubby has made me watch over the years but since I had netflix in my hotel room I should have stayed there.

Though a horror fan I've failed to see the merit in found footage movies though liking anthology films I decided to give this a chance and regretted it by about 10 minutes in. It's a badly lit unoriginal crapfest that should be a free movie on Kings of Horror and not a paid rental. Then I go and look at the reviews and lo and behold it's loaded with 10/10's from fresh accounts with no other activity! Believe the negative reviews and trust me when I say it's awful not the positive ones made by the creator and his friends/family. Not scary, not well made, not watchable.
The TLDR of this is, if you're a horror fan and can't find somethig you haven't seen, this is an okay watch if you can excuse bad dialogue and low budget effects in exchange for decent jump scares. Full review follows.
Found footage is love it or hate. I love it. I've watched every single one I can find and let me tell you, there are some real crap fests out there. This is anthology style with a main story tying them together.
The dialogue in this is bad and the acting is worse but I can tell you that it's better than most of the found footage out there. The biggest issue you will see in found footage is cramming all the actual horror into the last 10 or 15 minutes. This one thankfully doesn't do that. The first sequence (not including the main story) made me jump a few times, it was my favorite. The second gets a little cheesy with the effects but you have to assume this was done with no budget, the third fell victim to the cheesy dialogue pretty hard core but it got me to jump once or twice.
P.s. the high rating reviews are suspect, I admit that.

I just watched this one of the streaming services me and the missus use and it's so bad I felt I had to come on here and warn people! I've seen some bad found footage movies over the years in fact I think you expect them to be bad but this one is the pits. It's like they decided to just rip scenes from other movies, mash them altogether and call it a film. And why is their no cast and crew on display? The whole thing is very shifty, was this a tax write off or something? Either way it's the worst film I've ever seen and I hope the creator stops at this and doesn't make any more movies.
Found Footage movies are usually bad lets not kid ourselves here they are the first port of call for zero budget filmmakers and they tend to absolutely stink. The Fear Footage is an example of this, the money clearly had absolutely no money no actors and nobody with the ability to write a good script. I think its the height of disrespect that the creators didn't even acknowledge the cast on this page as well and the hefty number of 10's and identically worded reviews/cloned reviews kills the films credibility even more. Despite there being lots of bad found footage movies there are some good ones so skip over this and find one of them.
